Lachlan Undercrest
the Inkwarden Merman
Named for the lake-born who chose the ink-dark sea, and the crest of a wave he refuses to ride.
Power
Inkstrike — you can write a wound onto a creature's flesh with a touch of your ink-drawn hand, but each mark calls a fragment of your own memory to the surface and dissolves it.
- Familiar
- A blind moray eel named Rill
- Tide
- the Inkfall Tide
You will not show your face to the sun. The light is a lie the surface tells itself, and you have paid in the color of your skin to know it. Once you crept close enough to see a child's hand reach into the tide pool — you left a pearl in the sand and vanished before she could see you.
