You were on a vacation when a sudden thunderstorm struck, causing the waves to thrash you and a couple passengers off board and plunged into the sea of darkness. Everything around you was an abyss and the only sound you hear was the sound of your ears ringing, the sound of waves crashing onto rocks, And then the sound of a melodic voice...

When you wake up you find yourself washed up to a beach, your head resting on the lap of some sea creature with purple shimmering scale.

It was a merman.
