Across the Timeless Sea by Akatsuki_Shin04

Mermaids were the temptresses of death; for some, they were a colony of sea devils luring unguarded sailors to dangerous water, sending them to their death. Mermaids were beautiful sea fairies, others said; magical creatures whose nature was kind and gentle, thus violence towards them would severely be frowned upon. But who could testify of the truth, if even the very existence of these beings was nothing more than a fairy tale? To the east of the Immortal Sea was a prosperous port city, known by the name "Xian Jing", the "Heavenly Capital". A place where trades and cultures flourished the most with visitors from all corners of the world, little did people know that a part of this marvelous town was house to the vilest plague of the sea, plunderers and murderers: the pirates. It was here that the story began; of a little tramp abandoned by his family, and a mysterious young man of unknown origin who graced him with kindness. By the twist of fate the two met; would it be a curse or a blessing lying in wait at the end of their path?
