You were a fresh water merperson. You stayed in this huge lake. One day you were peacefully swimming about, making sure to stay deep enough away from the sight of humans. That was, until you saw this shiny hook with something that looked delicious on it. Deciding to grab it, you found yourself being pulled away from the water.

"Woah! I think I actually caught myself something!" A voice called out as you were dragged up. When he caught sight of the infamous merperson, his grin widened.
