PureJewel

In the enchanted underwater City of Glass, what will you sacrifice for immortality? Love, memories, freedom? Will you take freedom from others to win your heart's desire? Dive into a world of mermaids, mermen, and other merfolk, where every character has secrets, and nothing is what it seems!
The whales have granted the merfolk eternal life, and asked you for so little in return. Defense against the giant squid. Secrecy from humans. But when a rogue mermaid tries to destroy the gift of immortality, ancient secrets rise from the depths, and the delicate balance of society rests in your hands.

Baits

You jet up and up and up, enjoying the warming sensation as the pressure changes. After a quick underwater scan, you break the ocean's surface. The dry, cold wind is a shock against your skin. You try not to look up. Air is just this…empty thinness between you and the vacuum. It always feels as though you could just fall out into the nothingness if you weren't careful. You startle as you notice an electrical stillness from behind you. Not even the pilot fish followed you up here. There must be something elsewhere. You quickly duck back under.


You stare at your empty bags. Preparing for the Celebration of Eternity while the Eternity Orb is still missing just feels so…pointless. Tephra's been gone for almost a month at this point, and you can't be the only one with serious doubts about whether she'll make it back in time. Or at all. She shouldn't have been picked to recover the Orb. It should have been you. You know the human world better than anyone else. Now Tephra might be dead or captured, the Orb might be shattered, and all because of the council's bad decision. Maybe you should have fought harder to go yourself.
