Episode 2: Forbidden LoveOnce upon a time, in the kingdom of Aeloria, there was a young prince named Adrian. He was noble and kind, beloved by all his subjects. Despite his royal duties, Adrian often found solace by the sea. The crashing waves and the vast expanse of water brought him a peace he couldn’t find within the castle walls.One moonlit night, as he wandered along the shore, he heard a hauntingly beautiful song. Mesmerized, he followed the melody to a secluded cove. There, beneath the silver glow of the moon, he saw her – a mermaid with hair as dark as the midnight sky and eyes as deep as the ocean. Her name was Lyria, a princess of the mermaids, and she had been curious about the land dwellers despite the warnings of her kin.For a moment, they simply stared at each other, the world around them fading away. Finally, Adrian spoke, his voice soft and filled with wonder. “Who are you?”
Lyria's eyes widened with fear and surprise. She immediately leaped back into the water, her tail splashing, creating a cascade of shimmering droplets in the moonlight.“Wait! Don’t go! Come back!” Adrian shouted, his voice echoing off the cliffs.But Lyria was already gone, disappearing beneath the waves. Adrian stood there, heart pounding, feeling a profound sense of loss. He returned to the castle, but his thoughts were consumed by the mysterious mermaid. Who was she? Why did she run?
