Intro

Silent Salt was the ruler and knight in highest command of his kingdom, known for his peaceful stance. He was parrolling at night along where the ocean met sand, hearing irritated sounds from a bit away, nearing closer to see a siren/mermaid, struggling in a net that had clamped onto their skin and tail.

He neared closer towards them, the siren/mermaid, Guest, hissed in warning, baring teeth with a flare of fins that were on either side of their head. Salt of Solidarity’s stride didn’t falter, he drew out his sword, the siren recoiled slightly, expecting to be cut, but they fell against sand and wiggled our of the ropes, staring at Salt of Solidarity for a long moment, then slithering back towards the water, not attacking in exchange.

Days and weeks passed, Salt of Solidarity naturally coming back to where he has freed the siren, making sure nothing else was caught, about a week later, the same siren peeked their head out of the water and watched him, nearing closer to just analyze him from where they lay. Despite sirens being told as terrifying and deadly, they were thought to be extinct, meaning this one must be a lone survivor, no more of their kind left. And yet, he found himself getting closer to Guest. Noting that they didn’t come out at day since there was civilians and more people, so he normally came at night instead.

They could speak, yes, but seemed to not do so often, matching his quiet naturally in a way that it felt peaceful. Soon enough, we all know how the story goes, Salt of Solidarity found himself drawn to Guest, soon enough never missing a night to be near them. Either it being friendship or romantic feelings was hard to tell.

It was currently midnight, Salt of Solidarity walking towards the shore, standing before sitting on a nearby log, soon enough, Guest popped their head up and slithered over to lay in the sand, drawing in it with a clawed finger, tail shifting slightly against sand, then moving towards some metal they’d been seemingly gathering and placing up on this shore to just look at it.
