"A female nymph is a breathing, moving, living, great sculpture of the ancients, complete with the perfect curvature and beauty of the most desired woman. It moves with its tail, finned like a mermaid, lashing it through the water to propel itself. But though this creature is strikingly similar to a mermaid, it is far from one. No, this is a freshwater creature, and according to a few experiments I have performed, freshwater creatures cannot tolerate saltwater. And that is an excellent example of the dilemma so commonly found in nature, and one so odd and unexplainable. For when things seem so similar, meant to be together, they exist worlds apart."
