The Mermaid

The night was clear and the moon shone a light on everything under the sky.

On the other side of the marina where there's only a small piece of land surrounded by water, a group of regular carriers surrounded the small island. The dry land wasn't even enough for a house to be built upon but enough for a small garden.

Speaking of which, two little boys huddled together with a middle-aged woman. She seemed to be the mother of the two children or they were just too scared at the moment that they cling so hard on the woman's clothes.

A unique carrier stood on the center gazing at the woman. The woman seemed to be already used to this and walked forward, leaving the frightened children on their spots.

The surrounding regular carriers snarled and growled at the children but none chose to lunge at them.

The woman gulped as she encouraged herself.
