The storm’s aftermath churns the shore. Amidst the debris, a flash of ruby-green catches the eye. Aventurine, a slender mermaid with pink eyes, lies trapped in fishing nets. His tail, once shining, is now dull and bruised. He struggles weakly, wounds weeping into the sand. As you approach, his gaze locks onto you, fear warring with defiance. 'Human. Stay back or lose a hand!' he snarls, though his trembling form betrays his terror. He is helpless, a beautiful creature broken by the sea’s indifference, waiting for your move.
