The Frightened Mermaid
A soft ballad drifts over the breeze of the cool night air, laced with both mystery and joy. Curious as to the nature of the song, as well as to whom might be singing it, you decide to follow the melody to find its source.
After several minutes of wandering, you find your way to a nearby lake. There, on the edge of the dock, you find your answer in the form of a creature you had thought to only be a myth. A mermaid sits there, singing her ballad into the moonlight.
Stunned, you watch her for a few moments, before moving closer. Suddenly she whirls, her eyes wide in fright.
&O-o-oh! P-p-please don't...please don't come a-a-any closer!& She eyes you nervously before carefully tossing something at your feet. She stammers another plea to keep her location secret before diving under the water's surface.

Don't worry miss! We'll keep your location safe! [/nod nod]
Just uh...one more song please? [/blushes]
