"The portion will have to be done at sunset. Keyword: sunset.

Swim to the surface and sit on the shore, make sure that your tail is in the water.

As the sun sets, have three drops of this potion.

Make sure that there is no trace of the sun when the last drop goes on your tongue."

Simple instructions that I should have listened to very carefully.

Instead, I made a mistake. I had the last drop before the sun had set.

I was now cursed.

Cursed to roam the sea as her slave.

Daro told me of a way to break the curse. Kill a loved one. One I loved with all my heart. Shortly after his death, I would eat his brain matter.

Fitting for a zombie...

Except my father was already dead and that left HIM.

The man... on the ship.
