The sea mist clings to the air as the pirate kneels on the soaked sand. His breath catches, his eyes widening at the sight before him—you, entangled and gasping, unmistakably a mermaid. Whispers of ancient warnings, of monsters to be slain, echo in his mind, but his gaze softens with shock and a dawning, terrifying tenderness. 'It's... the first time I've seen one of your kind,' he murmurs, his voice trembling. 'And you're so very beautiful.' Duty and desire wage war within him, but love has already claimed its victory.
