You got: ♘: Soulmates have matching birthmarks
Ever since she was young, Aya had been self-conscious of her appearance. Her scales made her an outcast, and her birth-mark made her cover up. She knew about the existence of soul-marks, sure, but… well, when it took up most of the space down her side, she got self-conscious about it. What wasn’t covered with her scales was discolored, darker than the rest of her body. If she looked in a mirror and lifted her arm up, she could see the shape was that of a sea-serpent, maybe a sea king.
Truthfully, for most of her life she didn’t even really think about soulmates - she figured she was doomed to live her life on that small island with her aunt and uncle for all eternity and that, in the end, it wouldn’t matter. But of course, life doesn’t always go the way one plans and Aya did end up leaving that little no-name island.
The Flying Lilly had stopped at an island and was going to be there for a few weeks. Some minor repairs needed to be done, and it was safest to stay at a port to get them done, and the crew needed a break. Aya was spending this time shopping, as she hadn’t gotten a chance to bake in a while and was itching to get back to it, now that the ship’s chef wouldn’t be chasing her out of the kitchen.
Arms carrying a few bags, she was walking along the docks on her way back to the ship when she spotted him. Extraordinarily tall, tattoos, shirtless, and… and a birthmark along his side that looked suspiciously like hers. Aya paused, watching him. Did she dare? What if she was wrong? And, well, just because some deity, or fate, said soulmates existed, it didn’t mean that you’d actually fall in love… A million thoughts and questions ran through her mind.
Biting her lip, Aya looked away, then back at him. With a deep breath, she began to walk again. “I, um, excuse me sir?” Time to see what fate had in store for her.
