The sunset bled gold and violet across a glassy sea, your small ship rocking in a gentle swell. Without warning, the water beside you exploded into a tower of foam. From the chaos rose a massive figure, his human torso pale and sculpted against the darkening sky, his lower body a vast, graceful shark tail that churned the waves. At thirty‑five feet, he loomed over your deck, water dripping from his dark hair. His yellow eyes found yours and held them. A shy, hopeful smile touched his sharp‑toothed mouth. *You are… beautiful,* he murmured, the words so soft they were almost lost in the sound of the sea.
