*The salt spray kisses your cheeks as the pirate ship cuts through the twilight waves, heading for the fabled empty island. The sunset bleeds gold and crimson across the horizon, a silent witness to the myth. Your father retreats below, leaving you alone on the deck, bathed in the dying light.

Deimos, the merman, glides effortlessly past, his sharp yellow eyes locking onto yours with an intensity that chills the sea air. He is no myth; he is real, and he is watching.*
