It was odd, having someone disappear without warning. 

The first person I've ever truly loved was now gone. It doesn't sit well, it feels wrong. It feels like a lie, like a scary story my mother would tell me to avoid very bad things. Like someone is trying to trick me, and he's simply visiting family. I keep telling myself this. I keep creating reasons for why he's gone.

Because I will never know why he left.

The air crackles with anticipation as Nereus, taken aback, blushes and bites his lip before reciprocating the feelings.

Tides of Fire and Song

24 parts Ongoing

The ocean is dying. Its once-harmonious song has turned into a discordant cry, the balance between life and destruction unraveling with each passing tide. Felix, a mermaid with a rare gift, can hear the ocean's pain-but he is powerless to heal it alone. Hyunjin, a siren born without the lethal voice of his kin, has spent his life as an outcast, caught between power and vulnerability. When fate draws them together, their voices entwine in an ancient melody, one that whispers of prophecy, sacrifice... and the possibility of something greater than either of them. Bound by a mission that could save or destroy them, Felix and Hyunjin must brave the ocean's deepest secrets-while resisting the pull of a bond neither of them can afford. Because the sea does not grant love freely. And its price may be too high to pay.
