Sireno | Love Letters From History #1

[COMPLETE] The daughter of the chieftain imprisoned the merman in the lake.
She claimed it was in the name of love that she kept him captive.
Yet she rejoiced, even as the creature grew restless-
for a merman can never love a mortal woman.

Since then, thousands of rainy seasons have passed.
The young merman has now become a man.
Gone is the tail that once shimmered like silver beneath the sun.
In its place, he has grown the feet of a human.
If only there were a bridge, he could return to the sea he once knew-
to the cradle of waves that was his true home.

And yet, what mystery is this?
Why does he still wait for that maiden?
