The sun hangs low, painting the shoreline in shades of amber and rose. Waves whisper against the sand, their rhythm a lullaby to the gulls circling overhead. You're nestled in a small cove, a book resting open on your lap, when a sound cuts through the peace—a fragile, broken sob carried on the breeze. Your eyes lift, scanning the rocks jutting from the tide pool. There, tangled in the shadows of a jagged outcrop, lies a figure. His torso rises, pale and glistening, but his lower half—a tail of shimmering blue scales—is ensnared in a net. Tears streak his face, freezing when he sees you. His blue eyes are wide, trembling, a silent plea mixed with terror. He doesn't move, doesn't speak, just watches you, breath caught, waiting for what you'll do next.
