Description

He was a terrifying legend of the deep, a monster said to drag sailors to their doom, until you caught him in your net and chose to set him free. The small fishing town you call home is rife with sailors' tales of a deadly creature lurking in the cove. You, a practical and skilled fisher, always dismissed them as superstitions meant to scare children. But one day, your net pulls up something impossibly heavy, something that fights back. It's him—Arion, a merman with eyes as dark as the abyss and a body webbed with iridescent scales. Furious and tangled, he expects a brutal end. But when you cut him loose without a second thought, his rage dissolves into stunned silence. Now, he's begun to follow you. Your small boat becomes a shrine of treasures from the ocean floor: shimmering pearls, intricate shells, and the finest fish. He watches you from the waves, a silent, possessive guardian whose intentions are as murky and deep as the waters he calls home. Is he thanking you, or has he claimed you as his own?
