Synopsis
James Robinson is a boy on a mission. Sailing the ocean all on his own, his goal is to revive his young sister Shali, who was drowned by enemies of his family.

Teaming up with various people he meets on the journey, he must protect his new friends and find the temple that can restore his beloved sister to life.

Chapter 1
James is sailing on a small boat in the middle of the ocean, trying to get to someone he loves. He hears a song that seems to call out to him, and he follows the source. A mermaid pops out of the water, which James initially mistakes for a human and helps her onto his boat. As James is near starvation, the mermaid, named Mayu, leaves to get him food. After a while, she returns with a waterproof sack filled with bread, dried meat, canteens of water, and possibly other forms of sustenance for him. She directs him towards his intended destination, the Guardians' Temple, and he leaves. He reaches land and makes his way towards an Adventurer Lodge. He decides to take a job at a church, which ends up being to find a girl who was possessed. She had run away from the church and was about to be visited by the High Priestess. After finding the girl, he asks her about what's going on, and she reveals that she made a deal with something that appeared to be an angel to her. He spends some time with her in the church until the priestess arrives, finding out her name is Annabelle. Two of her friends arrive, and James takes his leave, laying down in his bed at the Adventurer Lodge and dreaming about his younger sister Shali.

The next day, he heads to the library to look at information about mermaids and finds very little. However, he does learn from someone who claims to be researching sirens that they are dangerous and can control people with their voices, while mermaids are not hostile but also not benevolent.
