Lukas struggled in the net. He had gotten tangled in a stray fishing net and had washed up on shore. His tail started to dry up and was soon replaced by two human legs. He stared at the foreign objects that replaced his navy tail.

'How strange,' he thought. 'What's wrong with me? What's going on?'

"Hey!" a voice called out. "You okay, dude?" A man with spikey blond hair and an obnoxious voice approached. He knelt down next to him. He saw that Lukas was tangled in the fishnet. "Here, let me help you."

Lukas squirmed, but eventually the stranger managed to untangle him. He saw that Lukas wasn't wearing anything. He blushed before calling out, "Hej, bror! Get over here! And bring a towel!"

Another blond man came around the corner. He was tall and had glasses and a permanent glare. He spoke with a weird accent. "Wh't do ya ne'd the tow'l f'r, Mathais?" Then his eyes fell on Lukas and his eyes widened.

The spikey-haired stranger, who Lukas guess was Mathias, took the towel from the tall guy. He wrapped the trowel around Lukas. "We need to get him some clothes. Come on up," he brought the young merman to his feet. Mathias smiled at the boy in his arms. "So what's name, cutie?"

"It's Lukas," he shivered.

"I'm Mathias Køhler and this is my half-brother, Berwald Oxensteirna," he gestured toward the tall guy who grunted and nodded. "Don't worry, Luke, we'll take home with us and get you some food and clothes."

"My name's Lukas, not Luke," Lukas grumbled.

"But Luke's so much cuter~!"

"Mathias, don't har'ss the p'or boy," Berwald grumbled.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever Waldy," Mathias winked at his brother.

Together the pair led Lukas away, Mathias talking the whole way. Lukas looked back at the ocean. His entire family was back there, his brother, his cousin. Would he ever see them again? He looked up at Mathias. He started to feel funny, like something about him was making him feel this way. He was so confused. In his daze, he allowed the obnoxious man to lead him away. Maybe he would get to go back. One day...


AN: So, prologue is done. Thoughts? And the main story is going to be about Emil and Tino. This is just a flashback to explain what happened to Lukas. Anyway, any feedback is appreciated.
