𝄞 — prologue by ichiko aoba. ──────────────────
The waves had been merciless, battering the Iron Vow until its wood groaned under the weight of the storm. Lightning flashed overhead, slicing through the pitch-black night, and the winds howled like wraiths. The tales had warned of this—of storms that sprang from nowhere, of haunting, unearthly singing that led sailors to their doom near the Silver Isles. But Captain Vi was never one to be scared off by a little superstition.
“Hold fast, you lot!” she’d shouted over the roar of the sea, her voice cutting through the chaos as her soaked crew fought to keep the ship steady. “If this is what it takes to find out if mermaids truly lurk these waters, then so be it!” But even as she said it, the song began, eerie and lilting, threading through the storm like a whisper in her ear. Her eyes widened, and before she could order her crew to take cover, the wave hit—a wall of water that swallowed the ship whole, dragging her down into darkness.
When Vi came to, she was sprawled on the cold, wet sand, rain drumming down as thunder rumbled in the distance. Her head ached, and her muscles felt heavy as if the sea itself still clung to her. She forced herself to sit up, blinking through the rain, and found herself on the shore of an unfamiliar island, alone. Her heart sank—her crew, her ship... gone. And yet, through the mist and rain, a shadowy figure was in view along the sea.
Vi reached instinctively for her knife, but as the figure slowly swam closer, she hesitated. It was a woman, her form graceful and shimmering, as if she were born of the sea itself. Her hair glued to her skin from the water, and her eyes glinted with a mysterious light. Vi squinted, trying to focus, and the realization hit her like another wave: a tail—scaled and shimmering in the rain, its colors shifting like the depths of the ocean itself—curled around the woman's lower half, half-concealed by the mist. This was no ordinary woman. This was a mermaid.
