Capítulo 172: Story 172: The Mermaid’s Secret

On a stormy evening, as the waves crashed violently against the rocky shore, a mermaid named Seraphina sat on the edge of the rocks, her blue tail shimmering in the dim light. The sea was her home, but tonight, it felt different—more turbulent, more foreboding.

Seraphina had always been curious about the world above the water. She often watched the birds flying freely in the sky, envying their ability to explore places she could only dream of. Tonight, two birds circled above her, one close and the other distant, as if guiding her thoughts.

The storm had brought with it a sense of urgency. Seraphina knew she had to make a decision. For years, she had guarded a secret—a magical pearl that could grant her the ability to walk on land. It was a gift from her mother, who had once been a human before falling in love with the sea.
