Welcome to this mermaid's grotto.

She asks not your name but opens her hand, guiding you towards the water.

Come with me, she says, my horse awaits to take you where ever you desire.

But as you glide upon the saddle the fire flares from the beast's nostrils.

The hooves you know were his turn to scales as he dives deep.

You cannot leave his saddle as you become his victim, entrenched in the mire that was before salty spray.

For he is Glashtyn and you his prey.

Come, I entreat you now, come and ride my words.

Take the saddle I offer.

Ride deep with me.

Ride deep and challenge my beast.
