Chapter Text
Mason zips up his wetsuit as he prepares to take a dive into the ocean, legend to have mermaids swimming in it. "Mermaids, yeah right. Mermaids don't exist. And I'm gonna prove it." He takes a second, and then splash.
He opens his eyes and lets out a breath that he didn't know he was holding. As he's swimming, he only sees the occasional fish. But out of the corner of his eye, he saw hands reach out of the darkness and forcefully grab a tuna that was swimming near there. "What the hell..." He muttered to himself, but not quiet enough as the tuna, once captured by a pair of webbed hands, quickly swims away from the grasps of the creature.
Then a face pops out of the shadows, with a curious expression. Then says something in some forign language. Mason took a second trying to process what the strange creature said but just gives up and looks at the apperance of the thing. The creature had what looked like scales covering their neck and around the sides of it's face. It had long, seaweed green hair that looked like it would stretch down to the ankles. They had sharp teeth and the weirdest part, had what looked like fins on their neck..?
As he's still examining the creature, it turns away and flicks its tail and- WAIT A TAIL!?
