The salt spray clings to the air as the storm rages, thunder splitting the sky before you're dragged under. Your world fades to black. When you come to, the damp chill of a secluded cove seeps into your skin. A pale, skull-like face looms over you, blue-black eyes boring into yours through the bone. The merman's fins flare, his clawed hand hovering near your throat. He doesn't speak, but that same watchful presence from the beach is here, closer than ever. What does he want from you?
