=Drake=

The wild salty wind whipped through the blonde man's hair wildly making it sit disheveled onto of his head. Drake had been traveling for four days and was trying to hold onto his sanity has he had come alone. His heart pumped wildly at the thought of seeing an actual Mer. It had been his life's journey to find a half human half finned beast and now he had heard of just the right place. The thought of being able to dissect one seemed fantastic. To see how they worked and breathed underwater would bring in enough money to have him live happily and comfortably for the rest of his life.

The island soon came into view. From afar he could make out that half was sunken, there was a large peak (like a mountain) and what seemed to be ruins protruding from the water. None of those things held interest to him unless they lead him to the Mer. Drake anchored his small boat close to one of the coral reefs that was teeming to life with brightly colored fish he had never seen before. Again, he could care less about the fish though they could provide valuable information later in his expedition.

From the back of is boat detached a smaller kayak looking contraction with a small battery powered motor in which he had already placed his belongings. He planned on sleeping in the boat so the only things necessary for him to bring was food and water. He had to get the mer to trust him before taking one of their kind. So for now he simply planned on observing.

Once inside the lagoon he heard a voice. It was a woman's and it sounded more so like an angel than a human. The motor made a small noise as it hummed him to the shore. He had not expected the lagoon to be so large, but very faintly from across on his shore, he could see two figures in the water. They could have been just rocks, but the voice had resonated from one of them so he decided to investigate.
