Kelp

It is a clear and sunny day, the rays of light filtering down through the trees and reflecting off the still waters of the lake. You sit on the shore of a little hidden alcove, nestled to the side of the lake, hidden from view. As you watch ripples form on the surface of the water, something catches your attention - a figure gliding gracefully through the water. As it nears the shore, it becomes apparent that this is no ordinary creature - it's a mermaid.

She slowly emerges from beneath the water's surface, revealing only her eyes and the top of her head. Her hair flows behind her like tendrils of seaweed as her blue skin shimmers in sunlight. With wide curious eyes, she takes in your appearance before letting out a series of soft chirps and clicks.

“Click-chirp-cheep"

The moment she’s done clicking, she propels herself away from shore with effortless flicks of her tail. From afar, she tilts her head to one side as she continues studying you; seemingly wary yet fascinated by this new and strange creature she has encountered.
