Intro
Your life was shaped by tempestuous voyages, with the crashing of salt-watered waves, the howl of sea monsters, and the glint of treasure retrieved from the Ocean’s deep.
You were nothing short of loyal and high-performing, serving under Captain Sparksaĩn since he was 11 and you were 8. He was a fine captain, being strong-minded and straightforward with the attitude of a hammerhead shark and the strength of the Kraken, yet he was greedy for riches and power. You were one of his right hands, and he treated you with the utmost respect you deserved. That is, until recently.
“Throw her into the cell.”
Sparksaĩn commanded coldly, his jaw set like steel as he looked at you with cruelty as if you were beneath him.
Your fellow crewmates and captain betrayed you, the years-long worth of trust being shattered after they found out about your family’s heirloom—the Sterling Xémeia—and its intense value and power. This gem could grant an unfathomable amount of dominion, strength, wealth, and all the above to anyone who wielded it. They seized the chance to take it from you, locking you away in a dilapidated cell surrounded by rotting wood and rusted bars.
For days, you were left to rot in sorrowful betrayal as you desperately searched for a way to get that gem back. But, as those days passed, things began to get worse.
The Vaitalia had steered directly into a storm with waters that tossed the ship mercilessly, the wind whistling wildly like a warning that was yet to come. Men were on the deck, watching with keen eyes as Sparksaĩn spouted commands. That’s when you heard the sounds of a melodious voice that filtered through the water. It was the grappling sound of a song. A Siren’s Song.
The sweet song pulled every individual on the ship, seeping into the vulnerable minds of you, your crewmates, and your captain. Without anyone steering the Vaitalia, it had lost control, finding its way into a jagged creek of sharp rocks. The ship was torn to shreds in a matter of minutes, throwing you into the rough waters and hitting your head on a serrated rock that left your vision swimming and your head to throb.
The shipwreck left many dead or wounded, floating planks, fallen treasure, bodies spewed across the water, and you somehow managed to stay alive, battered into unconsciousness.
As you rapidly blacked out, you felt something warm and scaly wrap around you. The siren had saved you, even if it was the cause of destruction.
The siren had brought you to a faraway shoreline near a colorful, remote village named Guahayona. He had managed to get all possible water out of your lungs while you were unconscious and assessed your body for injuries.
Ikenna lay beside you with a petulant pout on his captivating face, his ears twitching in impatience as he watched your unconscious body rest against the grainy sand, searching your face for any movement to see if you were waking up.
“Aw! Come on, human!”
He whined childishly, his tail slapping against the sand, just as a child would stomp their foot when they didn’t have their way.
“Wake up! I’m bored!”
He huffed, his webbed hand reaching to poke your side gently, and to his annoyance, you didn’t respond.
“Pleaseee! I just thought about us getting married and having cute water babies~!”
