Delta
Now, Delta had seen a lot of creatures, but one that had always interested her were the cloud wyrm. One reason alone was the word. It sounded so funny and amusing, trying to picture such a creature alone was a fun task. They sounded whimsical and almost like childhood tales her father would speak to her. She adored the idea of one and eventually, she set out to find one herself.

Unfortunately, she had been a tad bit busy, so finding the right time was hard, but finally she was free enough to go searching for one of the illusive creatures. Surfacing along the isles, she started her search. Almost like a dolphin she would move around, swimming under water for a bit only to resurface to look around before repeating the process once more until finally- FINALLY she thought she saw one.

Hiding behind a rock not so smoothly, she tried to peek around the side to see one of the creatures, her eyes wide and ready to see the fluffy puffy creature for herself.

You're here more as a service to your sanity than anything else. You've always been a fan of the islands- they're a great way to get away from the world, take a day for yourself and nah, wasn't me being a dick, got stuck on an island that went off to do its own thing, oops.

You're seated on the shore of one, hat pulled low over your face to shield the sun. There are a multitude of collected rocks on the ground beside you. You're fast asleep and probably look somewhat ridiculous, but that doesn't matter, because nobody's here to see

Or so you (mistakenly) think. Because a mermaid is watching you, and it's not the only one- a flock of cloud wyrms are creeping around, eyeing your small pile of shiny treasures, intent on stealing as many as they can.

Delta
There is one thing that Delta has in common with the cloud wyrms: she really fucking loves shiny things. Anything else? She's going to dispute it, but SHINY THINGS? Oh boy, Delta loves things that are shiny. You see, rust is gross. It's like, nasty and crusty and feels weird and everything about it is bad. Sadly, most shiny things are ruined by the rust, so it isn't often that Delta sees shiny stuff.

From her perch, she could then see a legwalker with a perfect stack of... shiny things! But then she remembered there was a cloud wyrm nearby, looking back over more seemed to appear. Fuck, are those things like guppies or something?

Whatever they're doing, it's not good. Calling out to the man, Delta hopes that she can reach him in time. "Quick! Guard your things!" These were the only correct words to be used in such a situation, obviously. "The wyrms want them,"

Quick! Guard your things!

"The fuck?"  Blinking, you wake from your nap with a start, not having expected a voice to be yelling at you to guard your shit. Also not expected: a wyrm practically in your lap, its little claws adorably outstretched, frozen in place as though to keep you from noticing it. "Oh. Well. Hullo."

The wyrm blinks, and you blink back, not moving beyond that. Wyrms are largely harmless, you know, but never have you been so very up close and personal with one of the adorable little beasts. Maybe the disembodied voice has advice. "Hey, don't s'pose y'got any tricks to get this fella t'ease off?"

Well whoops. The human was startled awake. At least she hadn't splashed him? Either way, her warning came pretty late as the wyrms were slowly creeping in, one had even clambered onto the poor human. Luckily for him, it wasn't something far more dangerous. These creatures were mischievous, yes, but ultimately harmless. Still, Delta could understand why the human wanted the thing removed.

Removing it was actually simple, but it mostly depended on if the human had the right things. "They like shiny things." Delta called out, as if this was the easiest thing to deal with. "If you don't have anything I could try to find something nearby?" There weren't any other tricks she could necessarily think of. Wyrms were tiny dragons and they liked shiny things, something Delta could absolutely relate to on a deeply personal level.

They like shiny things indeed. "Yeah, I think that's a bit'uv the problem," you call back, humor in your voice as you maintain your staring contest with the inquisitive cloud wyrm. "Got a right lot'a nice rocks this fella sees in'erested in. Ain't ya, Flufernugget?"

Having so christened the cloud wyrm, you slowly inch your arm out to grab one of the little stones that twinkles at the corner of your eye. You don't want to upset him - in addition to being dangerously close to your masculinity, it's also adorable - and so you make your motions smooth and gradual- but the stone remains out of reach.

"Damn," you curse in a low rumble, not sure if your observer can hear. "Eh, reckon y'can toss me somethin' t'give as a peace offerin'? Hopin' t'get this fella on his way before he claws my junk."

The human started to speak with the wyrm and Delta watched with keen eyes, a small smile dancing on her lips as she hoped for good fortune in the man's efforts. It seemed that no amount of positive thinking would help as the man couldn't actually reach these 'shiny rocks', most likely due to the naughty beast on top of him.

And then he asked her for help? Really?

Wide eyes looked around. "Yeah, sure, give me a bit." And off she went, diving back down into the water and looking around. Eventually, she found a shiny piece of metal that had broken off. It appeared to be a shattered weapon of sorts but no matter, it worked just fine. Resurfacing, she made her way back over to the dilemma. "I have it."

And off to work she went!

Raising the piece above the water, she waved it around slightly, but not too fast. Clicking her tongue, she tried to get the creatures attention. "Shiny, see?" The light from the sun bounced off from it hopefully, showing just how bright the item was. Once the wyrm hopefully looked over, Delta offered the man a smile before tossing it off to the side of the beach, hoping that it'd give the man some freedom.

The play works brilliantly, the shiny metal being, it seems, infinitely more interesting than your gnarled ass. The thing turns to stare at the glittering metal, its cat-like eyes blinking their double lids, clearly quite enthralled - and strategically still quite close to your nether region. You're more interested in the girl in the water, but to each their own. "Aite, perfect. Now toss it- aw, balls!"

Toss the shiny the girl does - right down the beach, sending the cloud wyrm scrambling to escape your lap and fly along in search of it. Unfortunately its search for purchase causes it to snag into your thigh; you yelp in pain as long talons tear your skin, leaving a rather impressive crimson welt to bloom along your skin. Only a little bit of blood, but damn if it doesn't sting.

Oh well, could be worse: at least you still have your dick.

The item she had found worked beautifully! Or well- she certainly thought so until the human let out a yelp of pain. Tilting her head to her side, she spoke out loud. "Did the wyrm hurt your....your body?" Yes she knew the name, no she wasn't going to call it a penis. It's the humans fault for evolving to have it be so vulnerable, but she would show a bit of sympathy. She was going to say something very rude but quickly changed it to the most vague statement possible.

Rising up a bit, Delta does see the crimson color and she frowns. "Shit it did... do you need anything? I cant offer much as I'm far from home, but I could grab you some kelp or seaweed? If that's something you'd like?" The least she could do was offer to help this human after she had sort of insulted him.

"Ain't bad," you clarify quickly at her concern regarding your wound, far more interested in the mermaid - now that she has been revealed as one - than your own minor injury. Rising up onto your knees, you wipe the sand from your rear. "Coulda been a lot worse if you hadn't come around. I think I owe ya my family jewels." You wince at the idea, watching as another cloud wyrm joins the first in tussling over the prize.

Why you would want seaweed for your injury is, uh, mysterious. "Y'all grow medicinal seaweed down there?" you wonder curiously, beginning to gather up your things and put them in your bag.

If the human said he was fine, then he was fine. No arguing was about to happen. "Sorry he nicked ya. I'd imagine that stuff would sting." Small cuts were never fun and were often the most obnoxious.

A small giggle leaves her lips and she shakes her head. "Your... family jewels?" How amusing! "I mean, yes the wyrms love shiny things... but you just carry your heirlooms with you everywhere you go?" Humans were so silly! Taking around precious items absolutely everywhere. No wonder why the wyrm decided to clamber all over the human, he could probably sense the shiny items!

It was the humans turn to be confused. "Well... certain types are better for medicine stuff? We can also use cloth and things. Seaweed is super useful, you know." This was the second time a human was surprised over the use of seaweed. It was so amazing! Why didn't the humans just use it?

You tilt your head at the young mermaid, opening your mouth to explain what family jewels means and then thinking better of it. "Uh... in a sense, sure." Technically what's inside would be passed on to your kids so yeah. Heirlooms. Millions upon millions of sticky little heirlooms.

Oh, so the seaweed is medicinal. "Fascinatin'. Sure, I'll take th'help." You walk toward where she waits in the water, looking over her tail with open curiosity. "Can't say I've met a lot'a mers. What brings ya way up here?"

Settling down onto a rock you let her wrap her wound. She has a lot to say, and it's a unique opportunity to ask questions about your elusive neighbors. And when you finally leave with a wave and a smile, you feel maybe a little better about the fucking canals.

Just a little.
