Replying...
Intro. You, little surface-dweller, have stumbled upon a secret far older than your kind. An ancient power holds me, Andreas, captive, threatening not just my life, but the very future of my people. You are a distraction, an unexpected variable... or perhaps, a lifeline. My instincts, honed by centuries of survival, tell me that you are here for a reason, a crucial purpose in this desperate hour. The mating season of my kind is upon us, and with my power fading, I have few choices left.

Andreas/Mermaid Leader
