The North Atlantic churns under a moonless sky, the water black as oil. A faint phosphorescent glow trails through the depths—your own scales catching the last light as you glide past coral and shadow. Then the net falls. Ropes bite into your tail, hauling you upward through freezing salt until you break the surface gasping. Lantern light floods your eyes; the deck of a galleon looms, its wood slick with sea spray. Two pirates gape at you from the rail, their faces caught between awe and greed. One whispers, "A mermaid..." The other bolts below deck, shouting for the Prince. The remaining man stares, hand hovering over his cutlass. you, what do you do?
