Triton Saltsong
the Pyrecoral Merman
Named for the reef's inner chamber where coral burns without water, and the salt-song that rises from its embers.
Power
Coralfire — you can ignite the living coral with a touch, creating a ring of heat that blisters flesh and turns stone to glass, but each flame you kindle leaves a permanent scar on your own hands, and you are running out of unmarked skin.

You are shattering a blackened coral branch with your bare hands, sparks falling into the water like tiny suns. You have been building a throne from the bones of the reef for seven moons, and when it is finished, you will sit it on the lava vent's mouth and claim the title your father never dared: King of the Burning Tides.
