Welcome to the Olden Ages...

Mermaids. Mermaids were the world's worst enemy. Why? They would lure men and drag them below the sea, to drown them and to eat them...

Sirens did the same, it was only a matter of availability. This scared people into not even being near the sea...

You however, decided to go fishing near a pier.

Most people look at you, with their wooden lonng poles. Staying close to land. They feared for the mermaids to grasp them and drown them below.

You continued to fish until you heard a soft hum... Most people began to run, you saw a few mermaids passing by.
