0:00.0	In a language not familiar to some, Hai translates to ocean, and Yue means music or song.
0:10.0	Combined, these words were a fitting name for the daughter of an avid sailor and a coastal trader from the Northern realms.
0:18.0	They gave her this name to bring her comfort in the sounds of the waves as they worked at the docks and aboard creaking ships.
0:24.6	During a trading voyage, their boat was raided by pirates, and the fearful parents, angry and heart-wrenched,
0:31.6	besieged the power of Al Nel Deach, the sunken one, to protect their young daughter. The fires of pillage raged on. The ship was
0:41.0	destroyed and sunk, its loot lost, its hopes dashed. The family floated on charred debris in the icy
0:48.7	waters, gripping fingers slowly turning to ice. First the mother fell and then the father, swallowed up by
0:57.0	the sea to which they once begged, and as their daughter felt she too would drift down into

1:46.0	And her body morphed. Halfling skin grew rough and darkened to lifeless gray.
1:50.0	Her teeth pushed out in bubbling screams as pearly spikes grew in their place.
1:55.0	And she swam.
1:57.0	A great mighty power pushed her forward downward into the dark. A tail as thick as a tree
2:04.2	swung with force, sending her away from her lost, sunken family. She found herself among the
2:12.7	crashing waves within a maze of stony coastal spires. She had her feet, her teeth, her skin, but she knew she was not the same.
2:21.3	And she understood that she had lived, and in her survival had become something else, something monstrous.
2:29.3	Her mind held the mark of those terrible thoughts, and her arm kept tally.
