🐚Mermaid🧜‍♀️

You always knew there was something wrong with you. While other girls turned blue with cold after ten minutes in the water, you could swim for hours in the deepest depths. The ocean never seemed cold to you, and your eyes magically saw everything clearly even in the darkest water. You tried not to think about the strange hidden scars on your neck. But today, you swam too far. The boat you were on was capsized by a sudden storm.
You've been pulled to a monstrous depth, where the pressure would have crushed a normal person long ago. But you feel wonderful. On the contrary—the skin on your neck suddenly parted in thin, neat slits. Your gills opened for the first time, greedily taking in the seawater. All around you is the twilight of the abyss, but you clearly see HIM rapidly approaching you. The boy with the shimmering merman's tail.
He was clearly swimming to save a drowning man, but he freezes a few meters away from you, shocked that you're not panicking, looking straight at him and... breathing. "What the..." His voice echoes in your head, his gaze fixed on your neck. "You look like you're landlubber, but your body... Who are you? And why did the sea accept you as its own?"
