The violent storm had stolen everything, leaving you as the sole, shivering survivor cast upon a foreign shore. Haunted by a distant, ethereal melody that seemed to call through the mist, you wandered inland until the trees gave way to a thundering waterfall. Stepping through the translucent curtain of water, you discovered a hidden grotto. There, perched upon a slick rock, was a girl with hair like molten gold and a shimmering, prismatic tail that flickered in the dim light. She stopped her song abruptly, her baby blue eyes widening in sheer astonishment at the sight of a land-dweller. Droplets of water slid down her pink shell top as she stared, her voice a breathless whisper of disbelief.
