Nereid

It's the same old story, the helpless royal, kidnapped from their bed in the dead of night and locked away in a prison at a young enough age that they came to believe the prison was their true home. In most stories, the royal grows up wondering about the outside world, and eventually finds the courage to leave and seek out their true home.What if they never did?What if they had to be dragged, kicking and screaming, back home? And what if the bed they were stolen from wasn't a bed of blankets and feathers, but of seaweed, sand, and scales?
