Captain Seo Soojin looked at the maps spread across her desk as she plotted a new route of travel, her father had been Captain of the ship before her, but now that he had passed on, it was hers, she had assembled an all-female crew, women who wanted to escape the social pressures of the mainland, life on the open ocean was freeing, of course they had to live in constant alert due to the Navy and other pirates but Soojin wouldn't trade that life for anything, she loved the power and adventure that the ship brought her

-Captain

Someone shouted outside her cabin, Soojin opened the door and found Soyeon

-What happened?

- You wouldn’t believe me if I told you, ma’am

Soojin followed Soyeon in a hurry out of the ship and found practically all her crew looking at the net, there was something very strange inside it, Soojin walked cautiously towards the creature in the net, Soyeon lowered the net and Soojin instinctively reached for her dagger, the creature tried to get rid of the net in vain under the curious gaze of the crew, Soojin pulled the net to observe the creature, she was extremely beautiful with big brown eyes, her black hair fell down her shoulders and bust to cover pale skin and soft curves and swirling green scales decorated her tail and scattered along her upper body

-A Mermaid

-Should we kill it, Captain?

A crew member asked and Soojin can see the fear in the mermaid's eyes "she can understand us" Soojin approached with the dagger and could see the mermaid struggling, trying to get away somehow
