The Cursed Mermen [Nightkiller] [English Version]

Prologue

This story begins and ends with a legend.

Under the sea there was a kingdom called Dreamtale ruled by a deity with the name Terra, his power could not be compared with any inhabitant of the sea, which consists of being able to control the fury and calm of the ocean, keeping his kingdom hidden for millennia thanks to it.

But we all know that all tranquility has an end.

A human and his crew invaded her kingdom, the queen ended up injured because of the human, causing her to get angry and end the human's life with her own hands.

The last thing that could come out of that human's mouth was a curse:

"Your descendant will be cursed the moment they steps on the ground of the surface, they appearance will be like the most horrible monster and they will not be able to feel anything but hatred in they soul, I pity you"

Upon hearing the last words of the human Terra could do nothing but be terrified, the magic of humans was very powerful and dangerous, known as the best when it comes to prophecies and curses.

Now that the human wound could not be healed, she had the obligation to leave a descendant before dying.

Unlike humans and monsters on the surface, mermaids and mermen could create their own children, this helped them not to have an overpopulation and maintain the stability of the species.

Terra created twin sons in the hopes that if one was cursed the other would be free, that didn't mean she would risk losing one of her children by doing everything she could to protect them from the surface at all costs.

His eldest son was called Nightmare to whom she granted her power to control the violence of the waters, while the youngest named Dream she gave her power to cause tranquility to the sea.

The new king of Dreamtale would be Nightmare, Terra considered that Dream was not prepared to lead the kingdom, his kindness and naivety could lead him to make bad decisions and not distrusting anyone could even bring him death.

On the contrary, Nightmare was someone calm and intelligent, his way of thinking was different from that of his brother and his phrase about not judging a book by its cover also applied to people, demonstrating his wisdom.

But little did Terra know that her people did not agree with her decision, the hatred that the citizens felt for Nightmare was enormous and they knew how to hide it perfectly in front of the queen, for them Nightmare was nothing more than a calamity that could only cause fear and destruction to their kingdom.

On the day of the queen's death, the coronation of Nightmare as the next King was planned, the majority of citizens who were against took advantage of that day.

Hidden from the sight of the younger brother, the citizens made a plot to kidnap Nightmare the day before the coronation.

They took the prince by force at that time, sealing his magic and breaking his fin. That wound prevented him from resisting and he was thrown adrift in the sea, waiting for him to die, eaten by some marine animal.

The citizens took advantage of the confusion and made Dream the King.

The kingdom was never the same as it was before since then.

Upon learning about his brother's disappearance, Dream lost the shine in his pupils, the warm smile he always wore before was never seen again and he became the puppet of a corrupt kingdom.

Nightmare on the other hand had not died as everyone thought, the waves took him to the shore of an island on the surface without any memory of the past, the only thing he remembered was his name and that at the moment he touched land, it was impossible for him to touch the sea ​​water again, starting the story:

"The Cursed Mermen"
