The Land or the Sea

Mermaids are beautiful creatures that sit out on rocks combing their long flowing hair and singing in the pure voice of the sea right? .....Wrong.
The Rozanna has this with the mermaids. After claiming a previous ship captains wife Rozanna, the ships name sake, for the sea they seem to follow The Rozanna around watching it waiting for their next prey. They seem to know exactly who has that reckless spirit that longs to be a part of the sea; stow aways, eager young sailors seeking to captain their own ships some day, even ship captain's are the likely targets anyone who wants nothing more than the thrill of traveling by sea. When these mermaids decide they want Captain Aleksander Galey's first mate of ten years Danil, Aleksander try's at first to help the younger sailor find the mermaid who has stolen his heart. But in their research Aleksander finds the true sinister nature of these sea creatures. They control nearly everything to do with the water, which makes the sea no longer Aleksander's safe haven from a world where he feels as though he is constantly an outcast. No one who goes in that water is safe. Sadly Danil is far to love stricken and wasted far to much effort to find his mermaid to listen to his warnings. Sooner or later mermaids always make people choose. Will love stricken Danil choose the land or the sea? And what will it cost him?
