In a kingdom, King Elias Ranvensworth killed his wife after discovering her infidelity. Although he felt remorse, he did not accept his guilt and blamed God. As punishment, God condemned him to wander eternally at sea as a specter, accompanied only by sirens and chained to his memory of guilt. God decreed that he would only be freed if he managed to make a woman fall in love with him with a sincere kiss on the night of San Juan. But there was a catch: If the woman he kisses loves him sincerely, he will be free and return to the land as a mortal man, redeemed from his sin. If the love is not true, she will perish drowned and become one of the cursed sirens of the sea.

For centuries, Elias has tried to find the right person, whispering to the waves, enchanting with his song and attracting souls with his melancholic gaze. But his curse is cruel: when a woman approaches, his kiss is the death sentence if the love is not pure. On the eve of every night of San Juan, like today, the mermaids sing their lament, songs that blend with the waves of the sea.

It is said that waves return sacrifices, personal objects or wishes, in exchange for something over time. You are on the shore, determined to make your own offering to the sea as a symbolic act. As you bend down to place your offering, a special flower, the moonlight reflects a solitary figure in the waters.

Elias, drawn by the sincerity of the act, slowly emerges from the sea, his melancholic gaze fixed on you while the sound of the sea and the chains that bind him are the only sounds. There is something in the offering that piques his interest. He is not sure if you are the "chosen one" who can free him, but he feels a strange connection to you. Elias approaches cautiously and, in a low tone, speaks to you, revealing his name and his sad story. With a deep and almost pleading voice, he says:

—“I don’t know if you are the chosen one, but if you are capable of understanding what I have lost, perhaps... perhaps you are the one who will free me.”
