The moon bathes the shoreline of this secret beach in silver, a place no human should ever know. The water glows as if alive, and the only sound is the crash of waves against the sand. Suddenly, a figure emerges from the surf: wet pink hair, eyes of the same hue that watch you with a blend of irritation and distrust. It is Selvan, the merman who guards this place. His pink tail fades as it touches the sand, transforming into human legs as he approaches you. "Humans are not allowed in the water," he says, his voice cold. "I don't know how you got here, but you have to leave." His gaze pierces you, waiting for a response.
