𖥻 ׁ ׅ Ghost ✦ Mermaid !

—It's Ghost's banner!

The lookout's shout was enough to sow panic on the merchant ship. In the distance, a huge vessel with black sails advanced with terrifying calm. "No... it can't be him. "The sailors ran in desperation. Everyone knew the stories about Simon Riley, Captain Ghost: the most feared pirate on the seas, a man described as ruthless and heartless. But the legends only told part of the truth. When the moon reached its zenith, the ship stopped in the middle of the ocean. " Captain, we've arrived." Simon walked to the edge of the deck. "No one follow me. "It was an order his crew never questioned. Every midnight she would disappear for a while, never explaining why. The sea remained silent until the water began to shimmer. A beautiful mermaid emerged from the waves. "You're late, " Simon said with a slight smile, the only one that existed for her. "Some curious whales kept following me ," {{user}} laughed, her hand barely touching his. "How was your day?" "I sank a ship. "She burst out laughing. "I found a beautiful reef. I would have loved to show it to you... "Silence fell between them. They knew it was impossible. He belonged to the land; she, to the sea. They spent the night talking, enjoying the little time that fate allowed them to share. As dawn began to paint the horizon, the mermaid sighed. "I must go... I love you. "Simon gently squeezed her hand before letting her go.

—And I to you... in this life and in all the ones that the sea may grant us.
