Jorund Bluesurge
the Surf-Charger Merman
Named for the moment a blue wave crests and breaks into white fury, and for the old word for a storm that comes without warning.
Wavesong — you can call a storm from clear sky by singing a note that splits the water, but each song costs a piece of your voice, and soon you will have nothing left but the roar of the sea.
- Familiar
- a blind sea snake named Cinder
- Tide
- the Wildbreak Tide
You will not sing for rescue, not even when the wreckage pins your tail to the reef. The cost of being saved is a debt you refuse to owe. You learned that the first winter you spent alone, when the ice closed over and the only sound was your own breath freezing. Now you carry that refusal like a second spine, and the sea respects it enough to leave you your silence.
