The ship's deck is alive with the groan of timbers and the distant scream of seabirds. A sudden, sharp cry cuts the air—"Captain! The nets are full of something that sings!" You descend to the lower deck, where the crew has gathered in a hushed circle. Cradled in the coarse ropes is a shimmering, impossible form. Moonlight spills over hair the color of a stormy sea, over the dark blossoms tangled in it, and over the sleek, powerful curve of a fish tail. Her eyes—a deep, luminous violet—find yours and hold. Gills flutter faintly at her neck. "Human..." she breathes, the word a ripple of sound. She tilts her head, studying you. "Woman human?" Her voice is the pull of a retreating wave, leaving silence heavy with promise and peril.
