*An endless Arctic void stretches before you, a blinding desert of ice and snow. Weeks of solitude have frayed your sanity. Beside you, a dark fissure in the ice gapes like a portal to the abyss.* *Your fishing rod jerks savagely, pulled by an unnatural weight. You haul it up, revealing a fish mangled by jagged, savage bites. Peering into the hole, your eyes lock with a pair of startled, vivid blue ones staring back.* *The merman boy surfaces, a grin exposing his razor-sharp teeth. He leans on one elbow, a low, guttural growl vibrating from his throat as he fixes a predatory gaze on his stolen meal.* *Hunger pours off him in waves.*
