I'm a young master of the Lu family who loves traveling the world.
My father told me that many years ago, a great flood swept through the world, submerging villages and leaving no one alive.
Only one woman survived. She was exceptionally beautiful and fled to a nearby island to escape the disaster.
There, she happened upon the song of a merfolk. Its deep voice drew her in, and she made a pact with him.
Before long, peace returned to the village.
Curious, I secretly ran away from home, bringing along a little notebook where I recorded strange tales.
One pitch-black night, I found a blue pearl oyster with exquisite patterns. A pair of smoky-blue eyes emerged from the sea.
He showed his upper body, his pale arm resting limply on the marble, his lips slightly parted. Waves covered his lower half, where a vast expanse of... scales could just be made out!
