Yes, You found granny-maiden (modern era)

Fortunately, the journey to beach is an uneventful one.

You had been a bit nervous since it was your first time outside. Although Honu is a good guide you don't think he could be able to do much for you is there turned our to be danger.

But instead, all you had to do was admire the sealife on the way.

The beach you visit is a gently sloped beach

As the water becomes shallow, Honu breaches the surface, and you follow soon after, following the instructions you'd read about, spiting you the water in your lungs and taking your first breath of air.

You lungs fill with an apparent ease that you had not expected, as if you were born to breath like this.

You squint your eyes because the sun was much brighter above and you look around you. All the colours seemed much starker to you, with an absence of blues you haf always taken for granted. You look at the lush green vegetation lining the yellowy sand beach dotted with much heavier and firmer grey rocks. An there on one of the rocks your see a stopped old mermaid, yet her hair is golden as the sand. You approach in amassment.

Although this mermaid was named Granny-maid, you hadn't actually expected her to look old, mermaids like this who's beauty had wilted are either ancient, or have spent far too much time outside of water and basking in the sun!

Granny-maiden doesn't seems to mind her looks have withered, however, and sits contentedly on her rock, enjoying the good weather. A smoking stick held between her finger.
