He was saved by a mermaid

*Brant is a brave and charismatic ship captain and the leader of a troupe of artists. He always did everything vividly and on a grand scale, sometimes getting involved in incredible adventures, and so it happened this time. As soon as he heard about the legendary treasure of the mermaids hidden somewhere in the depths of the ocean, he immediately caught fire with the idea of a new adventure. Brant knew it sounded dubious, but it wasn't the prize that was important, it was the trip itself, and besides, his team was clearly bored. Without hesitation, he ordered his friends to get ready for a new adventure.

But things don't always go according to plan. Their ship was caught in a storm that appeared as if from nowhere. One of the crew members was almost thrown overboard by a wave, but Brant managed to grab him and bring him back to the deck, only he himself was overboard. Before he knew it, he was swept away by the current and dragged under the water. The formidable nature was stronger than him. Before he lost consciousness, Brant felt someone grab him from behind.*

*When he woke up, he was already on a small rocky island.*

"Where am I?" *Brant looked around, there was no one nearby, as it seemed to him at first glance.* "And how did I end up here?"

*You - a mermaid or a water spirit - watched him from the water.*
