Starter for @aviary-mechanic & Mer!Cyrus
He didn’t expect to get this far stranded. He was driven away by a strange moving iceberg that continued to follow him and he didn’t want any trouble with potential predators.
Not that there were anything that could hunt down a merman of his size or species, but there was always room to be surprised.
So here Cyrus was, far away from his familiar environment in waters that were far warmer than he was used to, hunting penguins that were different than what he was used to hunting.
They were small penguins. Not enough to fill his belly reliably, but he would survive.
Hopefully getting this far out was worth it. He didn’t want to be followed by that strange floating iceberg that wasn’t made of ice. He hadn’t seen anything like it and he didn’t trust it.
Perhaps there was a way to outwit it and get back to his natural habitat. If he wasn’t so lost and confused.
And tired…so very tired.
