Wake up

Eric’s eyes opened to a bright light. It hurt. His head was splitting in pain.

“Oh... what happened?”

“You fell off your boat.” A voice said “I found you and brought you here.”

Eric sat up and looked over at a rock. There sat a boy. At least he thought it was another boy. Like him, he was naked. And then Eric got a closer look...

His lower half was covered in scales.

“Who are you?”

“My name is Aria.” The other boy said.

“Aria?”

“And you are?”

“Lady Eric, son of the Duke of Kent.”

“Hello, Lady.”

“... no.. that’s... my name is Eric.”

“Pretty name, for a pretty boy.”

“Thank you... I think...”

“Aria!” A voice called out.

“Oh... it’s my father. You better hide. He doesn’t like humans.”
