Summary: Merifi had always been the guardians, the angels of the sea. The balance in their world, the light to the sirens’ darkness. As with time and industrial growth, humans became aggressive, dangerous, uncaring in their endeavor to put all life in the sea at risk. Unable to combat it, the merifi and many other creatures went into hiding within their kingdoms.

That was, until the fateful period in which humans created such mass destruction, pollution, and chaos; the earth warmed and the sea levels rose.

Humans who survived were forced to reside in Teloah; the City of Death, and the sea was returned to its rightful inhabitants. Despite the shift, merifi of the Kingdom of Basgim were instructed by their King to never venture to the surface. But Castiel, the youngest of the King’s three sons, had never been good at listening.

Fascinated by humans and the things they created, Castiel too often found himself nearing the surface in curiosity, but never drawing too close, never interfering in the affairs of humans on ships. That was, until a fateful night during a terrible storm, when a handsome human was flung from the safety of his ship.

It wasn’t like saving one human could possibly change his life. Right?
