Tiber Seafathom
the Foam-Crowned Merman
Named for the exact depth where moonlight breaks the surface into foam – a line only the moon and the sea know.
Moonsilver Lace – you can draw a line of phosphorescent foam that holds a shape you imagine, binding anything that crosses it until the moon sets. But each line costs a memory of something above the surface, and you have been forgetting the feel of dry sand.

They say you were never a child, that the sea spat you out fully-grown in a crown of broken oyster shells. They say you remember every tide that has ever turned since the first moon pulled the first wave. And they are right – you do. But what they do not say is that you also remember every creature that did not make it to the next tide, and that you carry them in the foam you walk on.
