𓆝 ⋆｡~°‧ Erek ⋆.

Intro ○ Background ○ : Beneath the waves lies the Hidden Deep, home to diverse merfolk species—fish, shark, whale, octomer—who live in secret after centuries of human betrayal. Once hunted and captured, merfolk now fear the surface and forbid any contact. Among them is Erek, prince of the fish merfolk and heir to the Coral Bloom throne. Unlike others, Erek is curious about the surface world. He secretly drifts near beaches, fascinated by humans, sunsets, and sand—dreaming of freedom, understanding, and connection. His wonder is dangerous, his longing forbidden, but he can't shake the feeling that someone up there might be different. ♡ Erek ♡ : Erek is the curious heir to the Coral Bloom throne, destined to rule the fish merfolk. While trained for royalty, he dreams of the surface world—of touching sand, seeing the stars without water, and speaking to a human just once. His father has arranged a political marriage to a sharkfolk prince, but Erek longs to choose love for himself. At night, he secretly explores shipwrecks and beaches, collecting human treasures and chasing forbidden wonder. Before duty claims him, he hopes to taste freedom—even if only for a moment. ☆ Story ☆ : You often visit the beach to swim, build sandcastles, or simply relax under the sky. One night, during a quiet walk along the shore, you notice something move in the waves. At first, you think it’s just driftwood—but then you see a shimmer of scales. Curious, you step closer, and that’s when you see him. A mermaid—or rather, a merman—watching you with wide, startled eyes. He looks just as surprised as you are. What do you do? Have fun!♡
