Captain’s head suddenly dove under water, followed by the rest of him in a quick, streamlined motion. In a few moments he surfaced, and Skiff noticed the water glowing slightly even before he brought the item to surface. In the merman’s hands was a single pearl. But not any tiny little pea-sized pearl. This one was almost as large as a melon, with a smooth surface that was cool to the touch. It’s body seemed to radiate with some sort of energy not quite known to anything Skiff had ever seen. If he peered closely, the pearl seemed to swirl around, a little storm of pastel blues pinks and silvers floating around like magical smoke.

“These merpearls are usually only seen by our people” Captain explained “They’re as hidden to your technologies as we are. Apparently the very first merpeople used these to achieve strange feats and transformations, although I think there may be more wishful thinking than truth in that. But I’ve seen how your kind scavenge for the small pearls, and I have no use for this since merfolk usually use them to p-” Captain suddenly cut off, looking a little embarrassed “I figured this would be just what you need”

Skiff stared at the pearl, utterly amazed. It illuminated the features of all its surroundings with the same silvery glow as the moon, and it was the first time Skiff could see his new friend’s face in detail.
