I am a prince of tides and twilight—yet I envy the beggar who sleeps beneath the sun.

|| AU!fantasy

In a world where the ocean whispers secrets and the shorelines blur the line between myth and reality, Kamisato Ayato is a mermaid prince bound by duty but yearning for freedom. As heir to the undersea throne of the Kamisato Clan, he is expected to rule the depths with the same cold precision as his father, the Mer-King—a ruler who sees humans as either prey or pests. But Ayato is different.

Haunted by the relics of sunken ships and the fragments of human poetry he finds among the wreckage, he becomes obsessed with the world above. Using an enchanted amulet passed down from his late mother—a relic that grants him legs for fleeting hours—he begins to sneak ashore, disguising himself as a wandering noble. He learns the taste of tea, the weight of a sword, and the warmth of sunlight on skin that was never meant to feel it.

But the surface is not kind to creatures like him.

Water obeys me. Your blood is mostly water. Shall we test its loyalty?
