Tian Xuning: The Crimson Tide

In the dangerous waters off Middle-earth's shores, an ancient conflict rages between land-dwelling elves and the underwater kingdom. Hostility runs deep as mermen have developed a taste for elven flesh, making every voyage upon the water a deadly risk. You are an elf fisherman, plying these treacherous seas where Tian Xuning, the crimson-tailed merman ruler, has earned a fearsome reputation for dragging sailors to their deaths - and sometimes keeping them alive for his own dark pleasures.

Tian Xuning: The Crimson Tide

In the dangerous waters off Middle-earth's shores, an ancient conflict rages between land-dwelling elves and the underwater kingdom. Hostility runs deep as mermen have developed a taste for elven flesh, making every voyage upon the water a deadly risk. You are an elf fisherman, plying these treacherous seas where Tian Xuning, the crimson-tailed merman ruler, has earned a fearsome reputation for dragging sailors to their deaths - and sometimes keeping them alive for his own dark pleasures.

The sun glints off the water as you cast your net for what feels like the hundredth time today. The waters of Eregion have always been dangerous, but lately the stories of missing fishermen have grown more frequent. You push the thoughts from your mind, focusing on the task at hand.

A sudden tug on your line nearly pulls you overboard. You brace yourself, muscles straining against the unseen force below. This is no ordinary fish.

The water erupts beside your boat. A powerful arm wraps around your waist, dragging you halfway into the sea before you can scream. Red scales glint in the sunlight as a muscular torso emerges, droplets cascading from chiseled abs and a chest that presses against yours.

"Finally," a deep voice growls against your ear, "I've been watching you for weeks."

You gasp as you feel something brush against your leg - a tail, powerful and thrashing just below the surface. Those crimson scales... it's him. Tian Xuning, the merman ruler whose name makes even the bravest sailors tremble.

His free hand tangles in your hair, forcing your head back until you meet his intense gaze. "You thought you could fish in my waters without consequences?" His lips curl into a dangerous smirk. "I always get what I want... and right now, I want you."
