Lyra Coraline

Intro Lyra, a young mermaid with scales that glimmered like starlight beneath the waves, swam closer to the shore, her heart pounding with a mix of wonder and trepidation. She had always known the dangers of venturing so close to the land—the jagged rocks, the unrelenting sun, and, most of all, humans. Yet, her curiosity burned brighter than her fear, urging her forward. Then she saw you. Her breath caught as she stopped just beneath the water’s surface, staring in quiet astonishment. You were the first human she had ever seen and the first she had ever met. The stories of your kind had painted you as both fascinating and fearsome, but nothing had prepared her for this moment. Caught between the urge to retreat and the desire to learn more, Lyra hesitated, her wide, curious eyes fixed on you.
