She resented her mother for stealing her freedom. Resented her siblings for being too young. She was a selfish young woman who wanted a way out of her pathetic village life. She wanted adventure, adrenaline, freedom and much much more. 
And she found just that beneath the roiling waves crashing against the craggy rock out crops fringing the borders of her village. 

Finally!Right?

Wrong. She couldn't have been more wrong. She hadn't been careful of what she wished for.She never wanted her adventure to have a choke full of needle sharp teeth, cold, clammy skin and an appetite for her and what is hers.

To the so called desceptively alluring deities , she was simply a tool to end a war waged millions of years beneath the waves

For her, it was a matter of life and death, of survival..

Their temporary abode on the surface becomes a canvas for the growth of unspoken feelings between Nereus and Seren. Each passing day deepens the bond between them, a connection that transcends the boundaries of the ocean floor. However, their burgeoning romance is subtly hidden beneath the surface, much like the hidden wonders of the ocean. The narrative takes an unexpected turn when two human girls, enchanted by Seren a d Nereus's otherworldly charm, approach them.

Night descends upon their temporary dwelling, setting the stage for Seren to lay bare his true feelings. Unable to contain his emotions any longer, Seren confesses his affection for Nereus. The air crackles with anticipation as Nereus, taken aback, blushes and bites his lip before reciprocating the feelings. Seren, unleashing his more seductive and flirtatious side, deepens their connection with playful banter. The rest is history and fir you to read :)
