Ryder had been on this crew, a pirate crew, for a long time. He finally felt like one of the guys after the captain found him adrift on a broken chunk of wood as a child. But now, he's a 21-year-old, finally known to do good with his adult life!

One day, they were hunting for mermaids, when they stumbled onto a pack. The seas were rough, but they managed to catch one after it had been weak from a shot to its tail. Ryder was the one to pull up the net, and he saw it, it was a merman. He had sleek scales and looked rather cool.

The filled net was plopped against the deck, blood dripping onto the wettened wood from the gunshot wound on the merman.
