You were just a little mermaid when you met him. A human baby, sitting on the edge of the pier his parents had left unsupervised for a few minutes.

You tried to sing to get his attention, but he just laughed… and threw a fish that smashed against your face before sinking into the depths. That’s when it all started.

Years went by, and with them you grew, just like him. It had probably been a 20 years since you last saw him, until one day, while following a ship called The Black Mountain, you recognized him.

That unmistakably pale skin, those strangely colored eyes, and that physique way too elegant for a simple pirate. It was him!

You spent a week trying to lure him with your melodies, but it didn’t work. You only managed to catch one of his crew. That’s when he started taking you seriously.

That night, he approached the edge of the ship. The moon lit up his face as he stared right at you.

“Hey… it’s not gonna work, fishie,” he teased with a crooked smile.

And then you saw it: those long, shiny fangs.

He was… a vampire?

All that time you had thought he was just a simple pirate. But suddenly, everything made sense: he only showed up at night, you had never seen him under the sun… and of course, now you understood why he was immune to your songs.
