(This Story is based in the time zone of 1650 – 1730, when pirates were around).

His blood red tail swam faster as he saw land up ahead, his long tail sparkled under the water as the sun glimmered over the ocean. His chest a pale white, making most think he was sickly but he was just pure white something uncommon in the merman/mermaids world.

His silky midnight black hair was mostly in a shape of what some humans may call a mullet but it stayed out of his face as he swam. His beautiful purple eyes shined with hope as land grew closer making his tail swim faster then ever. 

He slowly duck his head out into the open air of the ocean, looking around for any humans too close and giving him a risk at being seen. A breath of relief escape his lips as no one was around but he did wonder why no human would be close to the ocean such a warm day. 

Then he remembered something his father once told him, Humans had to work more jobs then merpeople and their jobs were harder. He knew the male humans must have been working while the female looked after their home and children.

He never did understand while the women had no freedom and was trapped home unless doing the shopping or going for a walk, after all women are the reason it seems the men and children stay alive. Or that what he thought but he never really been too close to a human before and only learned about them from his father who brother fell in love with a human long ago. 

He always wondered about his uncle, he knew he lived on land with his human wife and he knew his father often swam to edge of the ocean near their house to visit but stopped for some reason. 

Now the grown merman of Seventeen had something else to worry over. He was kicked out of his clan and knew they would kill him if he stayed in their part of the ocean. Now most merman/ mermaids would just swim to a knew clan or a free cave in free parts of the ocean but he was sick of the mer life. He was always the longer and was never accepted thanks to his pale skin, his father loved him and always made him smile but he sadly died when he was just eight years old. He missed his father and wished he didnt die but he knew he couldn't change fate. His life only got worse after his father death since no one else was left to protect him or care for him and he was a outcast. He lost his cool and fought back but now he was clanless after punching the chief son. 

He planned to live as a human, he always was interested by the humans and that why he loved his father stories over them. He knew to keep away from pirates humans since they weren't very nice and did bad things. 

Now he was climbing up on a pier, a small one only big enough for one person to stand, maybe two if they were children. He guessed this was used by humans who wanted to look at the ocean or wave goodbye to their loves ones who worked on boats. 

He laid catching his breath since his tail was heavy and he soon used his magic to turn his tails into legs. At first he wasn't sure of his legs and poked his feet yelping at the pin and needles he was growing in them. Now once he seemed ready, he stood up and slowly walked, badly he might add. But then again it was his first time with legs, he reached the town but stayed hidden, he notice them all wearing clothes and he knew he must have been naked after looking him self over.
