The
temple filled with a turquoise light and a strange figure
appeared, and although he is nothing at all like Kyron, he
too is a hybrid deity, which always sounds strange to
describe and yet seems perfectly harmonious to the eye on
encounter. This God has the head and arms of a human
but his lower torso tapers into a fish tail, not a mermaid
but a merman.
'...I have never seen such a deity
before though assume he could choose legs if he so wished.
But why you wonder, because the tail seems so fitting? He
has long flowing pale yellow flaxen hair, quite sharp
featured, turquoise coloured eyes, and tiny ears.
“I am a minor God of the seas. I stay
amongst the coral reefs. Mortals are greedy and destroy
them. Coral should be under the sea and not hacked into
pieces." He seemed to float as if in water, but it
was turquoise light and when he spoke his voice was
fierce. He looks ferocious, as unlike a pretty mermaid
image as you can possibly imagine. "Much is happening
to those who destroy coral, to stop them. It gives me
pleasure to know this trade will cease and I thank you for
honouring me today. I give you the gift of severity
against those who practice cruel trades.”
