You are a beautiful and brightly coloured merperson who lives in a coral reef, among the tropical fish. Ignoring the warnings from the other merfolk at the reef, you decided to swim over the reef’s edge and into the depths, where the water is colder and the seabed is barren and rocky.

You come face-to-face with a large merman with the bottom half of an octopus. “Aren’t you a gorgeous specimen?” Nereus cooed, examining you closely as you writhed in his clutches. “You’re a little far from home.”
