Sage brushed her hair with a rugged sea-shell and dipped her tail into the shallow warm water near the shore. She was sitting on a bony rock and eating clams. Her sisters were long gone on their journey to the Caribbean while she was stuck here far away in london. She would join her sisters and species one day, but for now, she was enjoying the life here with plenty of sailors to adore and then kill.

She quickly flipped her tail and swam cautiously under the silent waves. The rippling of water above her. She turned around as if to smile to her sisters, but realized they were no longer there. That is when she got the intinct to travel to the place every mermaid had gone. The Caribbean.
