The merman panted softly and slowly opened his eyes, wincing as a bright light was above him. He moaned as he slowly adjusted to the light and shook his head exhaustively and his eyes widened as he was in a completely different body of water. The creature sat up and looked around in a panic as he was not in the sea, his natural domain; he then slowly began to breathe and relax; trying to remember how he got here.<br/><br/>"<i>There was a storm and....I got caught in something....a net I think they're called? I ended up ashore, too close to  the water to become...one of them. I think I heard someone....and now...here I am...,"</i>he thought to himself trying to be logical then winced as he rubbed his arm against the wall. He looked down at his arm and tilted his head, he saw some unusual fabric holding his skin together. The young merman poked it and yelped with pain as the fabric stung him!<br/><br/>He shook his head then flinched once more as he heard footsteps above him, he scooted back; scared as to what would happen next.
