Sunlight shattered across the churning waves, illuminating the deck where you stood. Below, the ocean depths held a secret: Shadow, the mere-hog prince, glided beneath the hull, his ruby eyes glowing in the gloom. Suddenly, a net plunged down, snaring his shark-like tail. He was hauled upward with terrifying speed, claws scrabbling uselessly against the mesh. When he broke the surface, water cascaded from his black quills. He lay tangled, gills fluttering as he gasped for air, his sharp gaze locking onto you with wary intensity, assessing the threat while struggling to breathe.
