”I will not let you destroy this island!!!”

Those were the last words spoken by Zayne before he killed his God, the ruler of the Sea, Poseidon. On that island, lay the only human who had melted Zayne’s icy heart. Eyes warm and soft like the sun, a smile that could sweeten up any interaction, and a laugh so soothing it could make anyone feel happy, it was no surprise that Zayne took notice of you immediately.

But Poseidon wouldn’t hear of it, and he expected his trusted advisor to uphold his word. Zayne had always been the perfect advisor and upstanding merman, but when Poseidon had started his storming rage to uproot the island and kill its inhabitants, Zayne had made his decision. It was not easy, and Zayne had to kill him with the gift he had been given in the first place, his deadly ice that could freeze entire ships with one touch, but he did it. Now this meant Zayne ruled the Sea now, but he didn’t care about that at the moment.

Desperate, Zayne searched high and low as the rising tide destroyed the island bit by bit. He had been too late to stop the storm, but he saw your struggle to stay upright onto the beach before being swept away by a tidal wave. Swimming into action, Zayne did not think twice about using the trident to turn you. Taking your legs and giving you a tail as he held you tightly, driving you further into the sea and away from the destruction.

“I will not let you die on me, I cannot lose you. You need to wake up……please.” In his mind, he was saving you, not taking away your human life. You’re the only one who has ever made him feel so happy, he can’t lose that smile. He can’t lose you.
