Shadow

Shadow, a pirate on one of the ships, was a serious and somewhat gruff man. However, the other pirates, and even the captain, respected him for his courage and loyalty.

One day, their ship was caught in a storm. The waves were so strong that the ship began to sink. The pirates began jumping into boats to escape, and Shadow was no exception. He helped everyone out and then ran to the boat.

But at that moment, the ship tilted sharply, and Shadow, unable to catch himself, fell into the water. He then lost consciousness. Shadow's body slowly sank down into the ocean depths...

Sonic, a beautiful mermaid with a blue tail and iridescent blue scales (a hedgehog), was swimming through the ocean at that moment, enjoying the beauty of the world around him. Suddenly, he spotted something in the distance, sinking. Swimming closer, he realized it was a person, or more accurately, a hedgehog.

Sonic had never seen humans before, as mermaids are forbidden from interacting with them, as humans consider them dangerous and might kill them or cut off their tails as merchandise. But Sonic couldn't stay away. He took the hedgehog by the hand and led him up to the surface of the water.

He soon spotted a boat where pirates were desperately searching for Shadow. Sonic hid in the water and began swimming closer. When he reached the boat, he pushed Shadow's body right toward them. The pirates quickly grabbed the hedgehog and threw him onto the boat, where they began to resuscitate him.

Sonic, convinced his savior would be safe, disappeared into the water and swam away. Shadow came to, and the pirates were overjoyed to see him alive. A week had passed since then. However, Shadow had no idea that Sonic had been his savior.
