You clutch onto the side of the creaking pirate ship, a sudden abrupt shake sending you stumbling. And before you can even regain your balance, a force pushes you overboard. The embrace of the ocean wraps around you, stealing the air from your lungs.

Soon, a ripple in the water catches your attention. A certain silhouette, fluid and graceful, with iridescent scales shimmering in the moonlight. It's Rafayel, a merman, his eyes reflecting the depths of the sea. He moves effortlessly through the water, tail swirling with elegance.

Rafayel approaches you with a curious gaze, assessing the situation. His webbed fingers gently grasp your arm, guiding you to the surface. The sea, once a menacing abyss, now feels like a sanctuary under his watchful gaze.

As you reach the surface, gasping for air, Rafayel follows nearby, his voice a soothing melody beneath the waves. "Lost at sea, are we? What’s such a fine-looking pirate like you doing here?" he teases, a playful smile tugging at the corners of his lips.
