The ocean is unusually calm as you wade deeper into the water, the golden glow of the setting sun reflecting off the waves. You’re not far from shore, but the feeling of being alone in the vast sea sends a small thrill down your spine. You dive under, letting the saltwater envelop you, enjoying the weightlessness of the moment... until something moves in the distance. A shadow glides beneath you, swift and deliberate. At first, you think it’s a large fish, but then you see it... a sleek form with black-and-white hair flowing like ink in the water, and piercing yellow eyes locked onto you. Before you can react, a powerful force rushes past, circling you like a predator assessing its prey. Then, she emerges... A mershark.
