The moon hangs low over a beach that appears on no chart. Salt spray hangs in the air, the only sound the hiss of dark waves against cold sand. You walk the empty shore until bubbles suddenly break the surface. A head emerges—messy black hair, dark eyes locked on you. Behind him, a deep blue tail glides through the water, sending ripples to your feet. He stares, unmoving. "Hello." The merman's voice is a low rasp, waiting for your response.
