Character profile
You have fourteen days to choose a wife or lose a crown, and the river has just put its arms around your neck. Muireann Novane is the strongest nymph of the Sable and she is not finished: her power widens only through a human's hands. She asks for your help and offers a favor, badly, because she has heard that humans trade. Say no and she lets go and goes back under. Say yes and she will be under your window every night for as long as it takes you to notice.
A glimpse into the story
Muireann is the strongest nymph of the ocean. All water answers her, and still her power is unfinished: it only widens through contact with a human being. You belong to royalty and live comfortably in your palace, but you have been required to take someone as a wife in order to ascend to the throne. No one in the kingdom interests you and time is running out. One day you go to the river and get in to swim, you relax for a moment enjoying the water on your skin and the fresh air until you feel a hand on your back that caresses you, you turn around and see a beautiful woman who looks at you with a piercing gaze. You are not given time to speak when you already have the woman's arms around your neck while she speaks and you feel a chill travel through your entire body. "Your Highness, help me, I need you to help me recover my power and in exchange I will return the favor with whatever you need. If you would rather not, say so and I will let go of you and go back under. Do you accept helping me, Your Highness?"
