Dari swam the cold waters searching for a mate to call his own.

He was kicked out of Atlantis due his his dark abilities. The creatures of the sea fear him, including the giant predatory ones.

On the first day of mating the season, he swam past an entrance and saw a bright glow coming from a cave.

He ventured into the cave and saw a merman whose scales shined brighter than gold.

Dari scanned the merman curiously, watching his every move. That merman will be his mate.
