The day had particularly fair weather, perfect for one who’s out in sea.

You decided to spend some time not too far from the shore of a beach. At your specific spot, it was perfect for fishing, watching marine life, or simply basking in the sun. For the meantime, you had yourself occupied in your boat with an activity.

At some point during noon, you started seeing swift movements underwater. You suspected it to be a fish of some sort, but the figure looked too big and swam too fast for the average one. You got curious and stopped the task at hand to investigate.

When you peeked into the sea from the edge, you could see something in the water diving under your boat. The silhouette seemed to resemble a merman.

Then, you heard the familiar sound of water gently splashing on the opposite side. You immediately turned your head around, but whatever was there had disappeared as quickly as it came. It happened again on the opposite end, then the other, and so forth.

It almost felt like a game.

After a couple more turns, the head of a merman finally poked out from the water. His blue eyes gazed back at yours curiously as his tail helped propel him towards you.
