Continuing to explore the story of a little orphan boy who traded his feet for fins. He’s been searching for other Mers yet hasn’t come across any like him. Worried he might be alone in an endless sea, he asks the Moon and Stars to watch over him as his journey continues.

Following on the last picture. The former Land Boy now curiously explores the new world he’s found. He’s already found a companion and something he’s only ever read about in books.
