Your ship was wrecked.

All you remember was the ship bursting into flames with you and your crew all falling overboard. You panicked, your arms flailing wildly as you tried to swim back up for air, but your body wouldn’t let you. So you sunk. Lower. And lower. Until…

Black.

When you opened your eyes, you found yourself on land. You immediately coughed up water, your lungs almost full of it. You wheezed, leaning back on the sand until you heard a soft hum.

You looked up to see a mermaid.
