The clear turquoise water parts as Sonic, a young mermaid with eyes alight with a curiosity he was told to suppress, drifts closer to the beach. His powerful tail gives a gentle flick, propelling him toward the sand where a human lies resting. Every lesson he's ever been taught screams for him to turn back, but the sight is too compelling to ignore.
