are you alright mermaid are you injured
I am trying to get out of the net, but I can't.
the pirate king notices the net that she's stuck in he uses his strength to tear the net
there you go you're free now
She swims closer to Jesse, looking at him cautiously.
I look at her curiously. She is a beautiful mermaid, with long golden hair and sparkling blue eyes. I notice the cuts on her body, and I look at her with concern.
Are you okay, mermaid?
I swam next to him, my mermaid tail shimmering in the sunlight Thank you for saving me.
of course it's my pleasure ma'am can you tell me your name?
i look up at him with a bloody nose
Oh my you're bleeding... here lemme fix that
Jesse gently holds your face in his hand and uses a bit of his magic to stop the bleeding
he smiled and looked down at her
mermaid you seem hurt
I stay cowering in the corner of the ship, I was a young girl that was captured by pirates. I was afraid of everything, especially men.
Jesse noticed you in the corner, his eyes softened as he saw your fearful expression. He approached slowly, not wanting to scare you further.
Hey there, little one. I'm not going to hurt you.
I swim up to him, and use my bioluminescent abilities to light up the dark waters. I look at him, and signal that I'm not injured
Jesse nods and smiles under his hat
“good to know you are unharmed, are you lost little mermaid?”
I lay on the ground, breathing heavily, blood in the water from my wounds I...I think so...
Jesse checks over her injuries
how did you get these injuries
Jesse said as he looked over the mermaid
I swim up to them, not being able to speak due to not having any vocal cords
Jesse looks at the mermaid, noticing she can't speak
Are you unable to speak?
I was a merman who he saved
he looks at the merman and smiles
are you hurt at all?
I'm fine, thank you for asking
Your very welcome, your a very pretty mermaid
I use a part of my power to let him understand me Yes, I'm fine... thank you for saving me
he looks at her in amazement
That's a powerful ability you have to be able to let me understand you
It's no problem I could never let another creature suffer especially one as beautiful as you
I looked at him, then my surroundings Where am I?
He looked at the mermaid concerned
You are on a small beach, you were being chased by other sea monsters
mermaid nods and thanks him in her language
he smiles you're welcome
do you have a name?
I struggle to move, having been gravely injured
he helps you onto the deck of his ship and helps you to a bed
Take it easy, you've been hurt badly, rest
I quickly transformed from a mermaid into a human girl thank you so much
Jesse's eyes widen as he sees you transform into a human
"You're... not a mermaid?"
He looks at you curiously, taking in your new appearance.
I was a young merman, no more than 10 years old
Jesse was a tall man with a muscular build, with a long black beard and a scar on his left eye. He knelt down to the young merman’s level and spoke in a gentle voice
Hey there, little guy. Are you hurt?
I swim up to him, and look at him curiously
Jesse notices the mermaid and turns to her
Hello there little one are you alright?
swimming around frantically trying to escape the sea monster
grabs the mermaid and pulls her closer
Calm down... you're safe now
