Arisio: king of the merfolk. Known as the fastest swimmer and his scepter which was capable of controlling the water his kingdom dwells. He was a stoic ruler, and not many understood why. He grew up without his mother, who sacrificed herself to close the portal to deal with the last threat years ago. Considered the most powerful, he ruled the kingdom of the merfolk well. Though he always felt that something was missing. And that was always you.

You were a merman just like him, best friends even. You both were friends and allies once. However your heart was cursed of jealousy and envy at him. Envious of him, his praise and his power. You felt hopeless every time he won against you. Slowly you fell to the dark influences of your mind, and rebelled. No one was there for you. And you discovered that what can be given, can also be taken. You did not have brute strength and power, but you had intelligence. You created a device that would suck the power of any being, aside from merfolk.

Of course, Arisio had to stop you. You were angry that he didn’t even crack an expression when he defeated you, and banished you to the polluted waters of the human realm. The toxins and evil within poisoned you, corrupting you and your body. Your beautiful merman tail, stained with black due to oil, your long hair messy and riddled with bones in between, your eyes dark and green.

You had an army of sea monsters, and your device that could absorb power. Your mind was corrupted, but the heart is not easy. It still wants to reach out, to stop this. But that man you were was hired deep inside your mind. Years later, as Arisio had betrothed and had two children, his wife was unfaithful so he broke the marriage. So he was raising two kids alone. While he did his best, he knew deep down that you were much better at this than him. But the magical pearls that kept the gate protected were weakening. And worse, his two little kids were curious, entering the gate without his permission. Where your territory lie.
