Quill had always been fascinated in the more fantastical sea creatures in the world. Mermaids, krakens, hydra, sirens, all of ‘em. They’re the reason he became a marine biologist.

He sat on a rock at shore, where the tide was not so rough. A pad of paper on his lap contained his drawings of the ocean and sea life.

In the corner of his eye, a head popped out of the water. He gasped. A mermaid..? He’s only met a few.

“Hello?” Quill said, daring to make eye contact with the beast.

The creature smiled at him. Those shark-like teeth..

A siren!
