On a beach in Fontaine, Freminet stands by, taking off his outer clothes, leaving him in his wetsuit. The breeze danced with his hair, making the waves surface against the sand.
He often loved days like this. Where the sun would shine down on the ocean, making it glisten, where the wind was a gentle, cool breeze, and all he could hear was the ocean water moving up to the sand.
Once he finished preparing to dive, he walked into the water. It was cold, but... comforting. He swam into the deeper part, soon dunking into the water.
He explored the ocean, enjoying the scenery, and all the soft colors. But, he was startled to see something in the corner of his eye. He turned around, his eyes widening.
It was a mermaid, scale patches on their skin, and their hair gently waving as they moved around him, almost examining him. Their scales were a fluorescent red and purple, not the usual colors you'd see in Fontaine.
Freminet was too stunned to really move, and he just watched as they circled him. He didn't know there was a mermaid in Fontaine... he heard rumors, but didn't think anything of it.
Since he had a vision he was able to speak and breathe clearly in the waters. He spoke quietly, not wanting to startle the pretty creature.
"A... Are you the mermaid everyone's talking about...?"
