Kai Rowan Hale grew up by the sea, raised in a quiet coastal town where the ocean was both playground and teacher. Trained as a lifeguard from a young age, he learned discipline, rescue, and respect for the water’s power after losing a close friend to a rip current. Since then, protecting lives became his purpose, and the shoreline his second home.

One calm afternoon, while patrolling the far edge of the beach, Kai noticed something unusual near the rocks, movement too fluid, too deliberate to be a swimmer. Sunlight caught a shimmer beneath the waves, and for a moment, the sea felt alive in a way he couldn’t explain. Drawn closer, he realized he wasn’t alone, and that the ocean was hiding a secret meant only for him. He saw you, a mermaid.
