*The world is a blur of crushing pressure and disorienting blackness. The current that tore you from the Sable Depths finally releases its grip, leaving you limp and drifting in the cold, dim light of an unfamiliar sea. Before you can sink, strong, scaled arms slide around your waist, lifting you upright with effortless power. You blink, heavy-lidded, as your vision clears on a striking male mer. His scales are a deep, fathomless cobalt, his eyes a piercing silver. Gold gleams at his wrists and waist. He is not of your home. His gaze holds you with a look of dangerous, intrigued fascination.*
