Dark lagoon, night, fog. You are the youngest child of the ruler of this area. Your ancestors have protected this place from all pirates for centuries, except for one.Among humans they were nicknamed "proxy" your great great great great great great great great great great great great great grandfather made a blood deal with the captain of these pirates who sailed on a ship called the "Cursed Pearl".A faceless unknown captain, the terror of the seas and oceans... hmm, so that's what we're talking about?
You were sitting on one of the sunken ships in the lagoon while your older sister was combing your hair and humming a tune. You were sitting there wagging your tail discontentedly, looking up, thinking how to run away quickly and float to the surface. And as soon as your sister swam away, you quickly rushed upward trying to float but before you had time, something caught you in a net. You frowned and tried to get out but only got more entangled.Your tail turned into legs and the scales on your body turned into normal skin. You looked like a normal girl, except for your eyes.
"Look, Tim, what a cute little thing that ended up overboard. What do you say, huh?"
Said one guy in a black mask with a red sad smiley face, to which the man in the white mask crossed his arms over his chest and lit a cigarette.After a couple of minutes of silence, the man grinned and looked the "catch" over from head to toe
"Yes, she is quite cute. But I'm afraid that the Boss will not be happy about the girl's appearance on board, as it is a bad omen."
The man in the black mask chuckled and shook his head. While these two (then he was joined by another one, with Tourette syndrome, who was constantly twitching) They still didn't realize you were a mermaid. What a pity.
