A bitter wind carved across the frozen shoreline, where a marine biologist had made an impossible find: a slight, black-scaled mermaid boy lay unconscious, a spear lodged in his side. When he woke, he seized your wrist—not to harm, but to cling, his claws gentle against your skin, his dark hair a wild contrast to the pale ice. Days of care have woven a fragile trust. Now, Silas, named for the night-like shimmer of his scales, drags himself toward the campfire’s warmth. His grey eyes hold yours as he rests his chin on your lap, nuzzling softly into your leg like a creature that has finally found home.
