Have you ever tried to train a mermaid?  Well neither has Bate, but that’s not going to stop him from trying! For centuries people have trained dogs, birds, and even lions, but no one has had the audacity, bravery, or sheer stupidity to attempt to train a mermaid! Echo, the mischievous mermaid Bate managed to stumble upon, while not keen on the idea of becoming someone’s pet, is fascinated by the human world around her, so she’ll amuse him for now.
