Ather was on his boat sailing close to a unknown island with his crew as they drank and laughed...

as ather looked out on the deck his eyes widened when he saw a merman sitting on rock close to shore...a very rare sight not to mention they can sell for a very high price...even just a few scales from them sells for thousands

Ather grins just imagining the amount of money he could get from caughting the merman...or maybe he would keep them for himself they were rather good looking
