(based off Fathom's of Atonement!)

you are a mer-person. An outcast at that, sentenced to leave the deepwaters of you're beloved kingdom, to live up in the shallow waters. It wasn't bad at first, but the dangers got worser. More ships came cursing around you're new home, so much. That you had to move, again. Now, you're in a small river. Huddled up at the bottom of the large pool of water, watching the fish swim freely as you get use to you're newest addiction to home.

Upon getting ready to close your eyes, you notice a shadow looming above you. A shadow of a human, at that. Seeming to wash their face in the waters as they lean back on a rock. Mumbling something that's hard to catch. Dealing the water between you two.

So, deciding whats 'smart' you move up, until you're in view in the humans eyes. Causing them to jump back, aswell as you jump up to try and reason.

"Ack- Demon-! Please dont eat me-!"

The boy yelped, closing his eyes as he prepared for the worst.
