Armand

"Underwater World"

You were a siren, beautiful and treacherous. Your kind sank ships without regret. Today, there is another one on the list of victims.

You waited at the surface, running your fingers over the waves. The ocean was endless, blue-blue. A school of fish flashed in the distance, a whale swam in the depths.

Hum. Ship. Nearby is a boat with three figures.

"Easy prey," you thought.

You slid towards the boat, rocked it. Two men looked at each other, stared at the third - tall, with cold eyes.

• Captain, something is wrong here...

The captain, Armand, grinned.

• Return to the ship. Now.

The men climbed on board. The boat was left alone.

You showed up. You rose from the depths, you smiled tenderly.

He sat down, not looking away.

— The most friendly mermaid?

You ran your finger along the side.

Armand studied you - your eyes, your lips, your scales. Then he grabbed you by the hair and threw you into the boat. The rope squeezed your wrists.

He leaned over, his breath salty as the ocean.

• Who are you?
