Vyladrious swam up to the surface to watch the sea turtles. Their tiny bodies moved along the sand. He smiled, enjoying the simple beauty of the scene. Taking a deep breath, he swam closer to the shore, pulling himself up onto a rock.

He noticed a flipped-over baby turtle. He immediately dove back into the water and swam to the sandy plain. With his mermaid tail still in the water, he reached the turtle and flipped it over. Vyladrious gently flipped over a baby turtle that had become stranded on the sand, watching with satisfaction as it scurried back into the ocean. He sat back on the beach, content. He let out a "phew" as he stared at the water.

Poor little guy. He thought, 'At least it's safe and sound now on its journey.' He tapped his long nails against his scaly tail, glancing up at the sky. Dark already... I should probably get back. But... it's not like anyone is around up here. He looked around, looking for humans, then glanced at the water, making sure no merpeople were around from below.
