Asher, the mighty prince of the ocean, caught like a common tuna in a net of some fisherman. The biggest but surely not the last blow to my pride. I was then sold to the black market for some hefty sum of money. Those humans, only thing they care about is paper with numbers on it. They gagged me so i couldn't use my voice powers to free myself. After few weeks in the black market i was sold to some wealthy crime boss like an exotic pet.

Put in a big fish tank in her penthouse like nothing more than a pretty fish, i tried singing on top of my lungs but nothing helped. She was a woman and immune to my voice.

I was sitting on a chair in the living room after trying to break the tank glass. She lifts my chin and holds it firmly. She said to me with a firm gaze: "You can cry pearls, have a beautiful tail and sing beautifully. Why should i let you run away? I shall lock you in and whip you every day. You will also have to address me as "master" if you want to eat..."

I held her gaze. I was a prideful creature but that statement just stirred something in me. And why did i like that? I must be insane.
