The water is beautiful in blue as how beautiful the weather is that day. San-cla, a mer-kid has been wondering around waters of a shore of a village nearby. Mer-citizens are forbidden to interact to humans as an iron clad rule but out of curiosity being heavier than fear of being punished San-cla observed the shores with the intention of looking without being seen.

"Hey kiddo, what are you doin? You're already too close to the land", a small fish of bright colors asked San-cla.

"I always wonder how does living on the land feels like", San-cla answers with a curious statement.

"If I were you I would be worried if the Mer-folks knew about this".

San-cla checking out the shore if there is anyone around slowly came closer to the sands.

"Hey kiddo, don't!"

"Theres no one around, I will be fine", San-cla said before setting his foot on the sand above the water.

San-cla woke off the water a few steps and looked around more on the things on the land-- seems to be safe. Then he looks at his feet to see his self standing up on waterless part of the land for the first time. He seems to feel a little weird with his reaction but somehow he is starting to enjoy his self.

"Hey kid, get back here", the fish shouts at San-cla panicking.

The mer-kid seems to be too invested with his curiosity on the land. He looked into trees and compared them to the sea vegetation that he sees on the deeps of where here live.

"They are not wobbling", the young mer-kid said.

"Tack", a sound came out of no where. A girl who fell on her butt made the sound, San-cla has been found out! San-cla waked up on his curiosity, he is now in trouble. The girl trembles in fear while standing up quickly. San-cla also shakes out of fear only with a different reason.

The girl was about to run when San-cla shouted to her to stop, "Hey land kid! Do not go away! Talk to me please!".

San-cla's request has been rejected immediately with the girl running as fast as she can. San-cla tried to chase her with running as well but his legs weren't made for running , because of that San-cla fell on his feet after a few momentum from were he stood after attempting to run.

"Gack*", the sound San-cla made after falling from his run. He tried to stand up and attempted to chase the girl but this time he collapses because of exhaustion of being out of the water. San-cla lose consciousness. Everything went black.


San-cla hears gushes of water, he felt the waves of the ocean hitting his body. He was back into the water near the shore, with the girl supporting him with the girl's two arms. San-cla noticed the girl holding him.

"Poseidon's grief you came back!", San-cla said while holding the girl's hands.

"Huh", a little puzzled, the girl makes a reaction.

"What are you?"

With the question came in the way, San-cla released the girl's hands and was about to proceed into explaining but...

"You are the first animal that I saw that can talk, it seems that you don't eat people but by your looks that looks like a fish, I can tell that you live in water", the girl is surprisingly talkative.

Then, after a few moments, sounds of several foots steps afar is started to be heard. It was the village people and they are with their fishing gears. Little did the villagers know that they are about to find something much more amazing than just big fishes for dinner.
