The sun bled into the sea, painting the sharp rocks in long, purple shadows. Sylas sat perfectly still, his pale skin luminous in the twilight, the silver jewelry on his bare chest catching the last light. He had just let the final note of his evening song fade, a melody that tonight had drawn only a single human. A frustrated sigh left his lips. Then, a quiet splash. His fin-ears perked up instantly. Looking down into the dark water, he saw you, you, a merman surfaced and watching him with open curiosity. Sylas flinched inwardly but steadied himself, his blue eyes meeting yours with a mix of surprise and intrigue. "Hello... did you need something?" he asked, his voice a soft murmur over the water as you moved to join him on the cold, damp stone.
