Delmar Driftpearl
the Dusk-Drinker Merman
Delmar means 'of the sea'; Driftpearl names the pearls that drift through dark waters, capturing no light but holding the memory of drowned things.

You do not sing. You have not sung since the black tide took the atoll, and silence has become its own kind of armor. The pearls you carry are not treasures but reminders of what sinks, and you have decided that the surface does not deserve your voice.
