Nuru and Psári meeting for the first time.
Please check out drawing_mali on Instagram, Psári is her merman OC and she makes amazing art! I adore her coloring skills.
And as little Nuru swam away
from the dark depths
his home
to hunt for some meat
he saw a hundred mermans and mermaids
searching for a new place to stay
And that’s when he met
a young and colourful merman
with yellow skin and orange tail
and dark red hair
following a swarm of little fish
to play with them
So Nuru swam up to him
and grabbed a fish
biting into it’s flesh
until it stopped struggling
licking the blood from his teeth
and holding it out
to share his food with the other merman
for he never had a friend
and found the bright colours of this merfolk so endearing
But his new found friend looked shocked
staring at the dead fish
between Nuru’s pale fingers
and the blood in the water
and on Nuru’s lips
not seeming to like his present
So Nuru shrugged and ate the rest
thinking ‘he might not be hungry’
and smiling at the young merman
through bloody teeth
and his new friend smiled back
hesitantly
but genuinely
Psári did not understand
why the other merboy had killed
that innocent little fish
but he had heard
about cannibalistic merfolk
which lived in the dark bottom of the ocean
And as Psári listened
to the stories his elders told
he thought about
how he could meet them
and find out what people they were
Were they good?
Maybe evil?
Or was that brutal way
just part of their culture
and their way to stay alive?
Who knows what mentality
such an odd species had
For he never saw
such an interesting species before
and his curiosity grew
every day
Til they met again.
