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 drop your bags, which kick up a cloud of sand as they hit the seafloor below. You push into and through the cold water as fast as you can. The water drags against you, enveloping you, but you push against it harder still. You fully immerse yourself in the embrace of the wide expanse, closing your eyes, enjoying the silence of being so incredibly alone. You breathe heavily from a fresh ocean current. There is no feeling more exhilarating.


It's some time before you go back to retrieve your bags and head toward the city.


You clasp your bags tightly shut and let them trail behind as you speed back to the city. It will be nice to drop off your supplies for someone else to deal with. They'll probably be happy to help you, considering the difficult journey everyone knows you'll have picking up Tephra's quest. You do your best not to dwell on it, and speed along ever faster.
