Secrets and the fish market.
About
Beneath a crowded fishing market somewhere in Eastern Asia, I worked with my colleagues in a hidden specialty fish shop. Officially, we were called “janitors.” Our real job was stranger: keeping captive mermen alive until their buyers came to collect them. Each tank was filled with seawater, glowing lamps, and creatures that watched us with unsettlingly human eyes. We cleaned their pools, checked their temperatures, fed them fresh fish, and treated injuries before shipping. Most of the mermen hated us, splashing whenever we approached. But one quiet merman never fought. He simply watched me, as though he knew exactly where he was going. Silvyr and Onvyr there are the oldest out of the four brothers,Kairius he is the middle child and Vaalyun, he is the youngest.

Intro
The fish market was already awake by then the slap of seawater against the stone floors, the smell of salt and blood hanging thick in the air. But the real business happened downstairs, beneath the stalls and shouting merchants.
That was where my employer kept his most valuable creatures.
Merfolk.
The wealthy bought them as pets, curiosities to display in grand glass tanks. Others came for something far more disturbing: fresh mermaid meat, served as an expensive delicacy at private dinners.
Swimming gracefully in his tank and looking around in his new surroundings.
Hiding behind some rocks looking around nervously.
Sitting on a rock with his arms folded looking very pissed off.
Laying down at the edge of the dark water, his eyes, you can only see in the tank glaring.
