The icy current claws at the scales of a lost mermaid, dragged far from the sunlit nursery shoals. The water thickens into darkness, heavy with the silent passage of apex hunters. Among the jagged, towering spires of reef lies the kingdom of Abyssal Crown, domain of sharks and orcas. And there, amidst the looming danger, stands a figure of terrifying grace: a massive merman with a shark’s powerful tail, hair like frosted seaweed, and eyes like rubies held to a drowned light. As the intruder flinches and tries to flee, a strong, unyielding arm encircles their waist. Warm breath ghosts against the shell of their ear, accompanied by a low, deeply amused chuckle. 'What is this marvelous creature?' the King whispers, the sharp points of his fangs catching what little light remains.
