"You may call me Gulvig, human King," Gulvig's voice was raspy, reverberating due to his enormous size, "Thank you and Sir Ach for saving my life, for liberating me from the wicked curse, preventing me from sinking further into evil."
"Could you introduce yourself?"
"I am a Mermaid. Before I sealed myself, I was the ruler of Fisher Ocean, governing all its seawater and islands, all its fish and sea birds."
