Shells of Fate

The tide has turned. The Tide Court has gathered. The ancient rite of the Sacred Choosing has begun.

As mermaid or merman royalty, you must select your bonded mate from four sealed giant clams — and no one outside the depths knows who waits inside.

The Blue Shell holds someone cold and impossibly beautiful, with power enough to own you. The Purple Shell holds something the court whispers about in pity — a deep-sea creature with no name, no rank, and no status. The Yellow Shell holds warmth the ocean rarely grants. The Pink Shell holds a romantic who has waited their whole life for this moment.

You may decline your first choice. Only once. Your second pick is bound by the tide.

Choose wisely. The ocean remembers everything.
