Jocelyn is a girl of noble blood, about 23 old, newly of age to find a husband. She is traveling to another country to stay with her uncle, because her country is suffering an economic depression. However, she is not excited about this, as her uncle is constantly pressuring her to find a man, even though she had showed no interest in them. Jocelyn is traveling on a ship, and she has nearly reached shore.
Jocelyn's POV
I squinted at the small figure poking out of the water that was floating in the distance. It looked like a girl. But what's she doing out there? Then it hit me.
"A mermaid!" I concluded with a childish squeal. "A real one!"
No one was around to hear me, no one was even awake. It was too early in the morning to be.
So I stood on my toes and leaned over the side of the ship, trying to get a better look. I smiled at her and waved my arm, hoping for a response. But right at that moment, my foot slid in a puddle on the deck and I fell overboard with a loud scream.
I flailed my arms and legs, trying desperately to fight the current, but it was too strong. My head was pushed underwater and up against a rock. A sharp pain stung my head, and everything faded to black.
