Agilenano - News: The Best Men’s Rain Jackets to Keep You Dry and Stylish Under Any Circumstance

With spring and summer right around the corner (fingers crossed), now is the best time to pick up a proper men’s rain jacket. The worst time? When it’s already pouring and you have to make it from your car to the office. To make things easy, we’ve rounded up the most stylish, water-resistant and all-around best men’s rain jackets that will keep you dry and looking fly. Depending on the weather report and your planned activity, you may need to invest in more than one raincoat. Live in an area that is particularly partial to frequent downpours? A classic trench for formal events and a more rugged utility jacket for weekend hikes should be staples in your closet. Want to be prepared for the occasional light summer storm? A breathable and lightweight rain jacket is your best bet. What about when you’re traveling and aren’t quite sure what the forecast has in store? We’ve included packable options that fit easily into a backpack or suitcase and are a great all-purpose jacket. Whatever you plan to get up in the wide, wet world, whether it’s commuting to the office or hitting the trails, SPY has found a raincoat for you. Just don’t forget an umbrella and rain boots as well.    1. Columbia Men’s Watertight II Waterproof, Breathable Rain Jacket BEST OVERALL For most people for most situations, Columbia’s Watertight II Rain Jacket will get the job done. The jacket is lightweight, packable enough to easily fit into a backpack and features elastic pulls on the waist and hood so you can adjust the jacket to you. The plastic on the outside keeps the rain out and nylon keeps you comfortable on the inside, while zippered pockets keep your valuables out of the direct rain. The only downside is this jacket is quite thin, so it won’t keep you warm on its own on a cold wet day and it can soak more easily in heavy rain than heavier-duty rain jackets. But that has an upside too in that this jacket is great to layer under and perfect for those warmer, wetter days. Overall, as long as you’re not out in heavy rain for more than a few minutes, this jacket will fit the bill. Buy: Columbia Men's Watertight II Waterproof, Breathable Rain Jacket $35.99    2. Levi’s Men’s Rubberized Rain Parka Jacket RUNNER UP If you want to guarantee that water won’t get into your jacket, a fully rubberized option might be better. Levi’s Rubberized Rain Parka Jacket is remarkably cheap for a fully rubberized jacket and it doesn’t hurt that it’s stylish as heck. While the rubber keeps the rain off the jacket, the zipper and button dual front enclosure guarantee nothing’s coming in the front. And if that all sounds like the jacket is going to just seal in the heat, it’s all good: This jacket is also machine washable for those times. Buy: Levi's Men's Rubberized Rain Parka Jacket $89.99    3. Tommy Hilfiger Men’s Waterproof Breathable Hooded Jacket BEST BUDGET What could we say about Tommy Hilfiger that you don’t already know? The company makes solid, classy clothing at a price point most people can afford. At that price point though, you shouldn’t expect this jacket to be fully waterproof. The shell is 100% nylon, so it’s more water resistant than waterproof. But if you just need a basic rain jacket for short commutes and day-to-day errands, Tommy Hilfiger’s jacket will keep you dry from point A to point B without breaking the bank. Buy: Tommy Hilfiger Waterproof Hooded Jacket $39.99    4. The North Face Men’s Venture 2 Waterpoof Rain Jacket BEST VARIETY The North Face just makes great outdoor products in general and it’s rain jacket is as good as you would expect. One undervalued bonus of being a leading manufacturer of outerwear is the sheer variety you can offer while still maintaining quality. Amazon alone offers 40 different colors for this style, but the jackets all offer the same quality protection in the end. This jacket features a durable water-repellent coating to stop rain from seeping through, and adjustable cuffs and a cinch cord on the waist for a customized fit. Yup, no matter which color suits you, The North Face has got your back, and it’ll keep it dry. Buy: The North Face Men’s Venture 2 Waterpoof Rain Jacket $118.74    5. SaphiRose Rain Poncho Jacket BEST PONCHO If you’ve never given the tried-and-true poncho a shot, now’s your chance. Though they won’t hold up on a seriously windy day, rain ponchos are basically a giant piece of plastic with a hood and hole for your head that can go on top of anything. Combine that with the fact that you can stuff these things in a pocket, and you can begin to see how having a cheap poncho in your backpack isn’t such a bad idea. As far as ponchos go, SaphiRose’s Rain Poncho Jacket took the basic concept and added a little extra value in the form of a front zipper, heat-sealed seams, a pocket and an adjustable hood. For $20, throw it in your car or side backpack pocket for a rainy day. It’s humble, but it just might surprise you with how much rain it keeps out. Buy: Rain Ponchi Jacket $19.99    6. Arc’teryx Zeta SL Jacket Men’s QUALITY PICK The term high-end gets thrown around a lot when researching the best men’s rain jackets, but Arc’teryx’s Zeta SL Jacket is the real deal. Mountain climbers wear this stuff for a reason. This jacket is designed to be super light for those long outdoor treks, but the Gore-Tex keeps you windproof, waterproof and comfortable at the same time. There are more expensive rain jackets out there, including from Arc-teryx, but this is the price point where you’ll start to see diminishing returns because you don’t need a jacket much more technically sophisticated than this. If you’re looking for a reliable, durable rain jacket to get you through the next decade, Arc’teryx is among the safest bets. Buy: Arc'teryx Zeta SL Jacket Men's $299.00    7. Helly Hansen Workwear Men’s Woodland Raincoat BEST LONG RAINCOAT Helly Hansen’s Workwear Men’s Woodland Raincoat is the definition of a no-frills raincoat. If you just want as much coverage as possible while spending as little as possible, this is the longest raincoat we could find that didn’t cost hundreds of dollars. Buy: Helly Hansen Workwear Men's Woodland Rain Coat $80.00    8. L.L. Bean Men’s Trail Model Rain Jacket BEST FOR THE OUTDOORS Do you go hiking, but it’s really just for the craft beers afterward? Perhaps there’s that cute girl from Bumble who picked Mountains over Beaches, and you need to try and look the part? This option from L.L. Bean is a can’t miss if you’ve said “yes” to any of the questions above. It’s no surprise that one of the best men’s rain jackets comes from L.L. Bean, as the company makes some of the world’s best outdoor apparel, and has for a century. This men’s rain jacket is packable, comes in colors that would help the Park Rangers find you after you take a tumble, and actually will keep you quite dry and comfortable. Wear it with chinos, alpine boots and a thermal long sleeve to hike (even if it’s just through Brooklyn), or with faded jeans and vans to the corner deli. Buy: L.L. Bean Men's Trail Model Rain Jacket $99.00    9. Suit Supply Navy Raincoat BEST FOR THE OFFICE This simple, chic navy option is a no-brainer for day-to-day office use. Early fall, early spring, great as a layer when it’s not raining, you can find plenty of uses for this well-cut option from reasonably priced brand Suit Supply. To shake things up, wear it with a sharp charcoal double-breasted suit, chocolate brown double monk straps, an ice blue shirt and purple tie on Monday, then with jeans, sharp leather sneakers, and a long sleeve knit polo on Friday. Buy: Suit Supply Navy Raincoat $399.00    10. Barbour Classic Bedale Waxed Cotton Jacket BEST PREP STAPLE Barbour has been a classic prep staple for years. The classic olive coloring and the corduroy collar has been used with jeans, with suits, with business casual and to run around to the corner store. It comes along with a certain look that’s not very fashion-forward, but it certainly has a classic air to it. If you find yourself frequently airing on the side of classic instead of flashy, this is the pick for you. Buy: Barbour Classic Bedale Waxed Cotton Jacket $385.00    11. Showers Pass Double Century Bike Jacket BEST FOR CYCLING Training doesn’t stop just because the weather decides not to cooperate. Keep yourself dry and highly visible with the Showers Pass Double Century Bike Jacket. Made with a waterproof and breathable membrane, the sealed seams help to keep water out and keep cyclists dry for miles. Designed specifically with bikers in mind, the jacket has elongated sleeves to ensure that wrists stay covered and protected even when reaching for handlebars. Four vented sections and a two-way zipper helps to keep riders cool when temperatures begin to rise. We also like that the jacket is packable, making it easy to store on your bike and be ready for inclement weather. Buy: Showers Pass Double Century Bike Jacket $179.00    12. REI Co-op Rainier Rain Jacket BEST SIZE RANGE It’s always nice to have options when purchasing a new piece of clothing and the REI Co-op Rainier Rain Jacket has plenty, including multiple color options and a wide size range. The affordable jacket is an excellent basic that can be worn on the hiking trail or while running to catch a bus. Windproof up to 60 mph and designed with sealed seams for waterproof protection, the jacket has several smart features, including a three-piece detachable hood and a drawcord hem and cuffs to keep out wind and snow. Armpit vents provide airflow when temperatures begin to rise and we also like that the jacket can be packed away into the left pocket for a convenient travel option. Buy: REI Co-op Rainier Rain Jacket $26.83 - $89.95    13. Patagonia Torrentshell 3L Jacket LONG LASTING For a jacket that will keep you dry through several rainy seasons, there’s the Patagonia Torrentshell 3L Jacket. The highly durable, three-layer jacket provides waterproof protection with a microfleece-lined neck for added warmth and comfort.

The packable jacket includes several smart and convenient features, including hip and wrist cuffs to keep cold air out, internal storm flaps, and a two-way adjustable hood with a laminated storm visor for extreme downpours. We also like that Patagonia makes a product you can feel good about wearing. The outside of the jacket is made with post-consumer recycled materials and is crafted in a Fair Trade-certified sewing facility. Buy: Patagonia Torrentshell 3L Jacket $149.00    14. The ReNew Storm Jacket MADE FROM RECYCLED MATERIALS For a stylish and minimalist approach to practical outerwear, we like Everlane’s ReNew Storm Jacket.

Available in three color options, the fully seam-sealed jacket has a magnetic closure storm flap and hood adjustment toggles to keep water out. An interior zippered pocket keeps personal items safe and dry while the two-way zipper pocket makes it easy to let air flow when temperatures rise. Buy: The ReNew Storm Jacket $51.00    15.

Available in three colors and five sizes, the breathable jacket is 4 inches lower in the back with an open slit for added comfort and coverage. Rated for temperatures down to 23 degrees F, the jacket comes with an adjustable hood that includes an extended brim. Hook and loop cuffs help to keep rain and wind out. Reflective details make wearers more visible and the jacket can be packed into the hood for added convenience.

Below the waves

Character: Eyrian

Words: 5657

The weather had cleared up, Eyrian could tell from the sunlight filtering down through the waves. The seas had been rough for the last couple of days: the aftermath of the storm that had brought him here. Whether the danger had passed completely he couldn’t quite tell from down here, so he decided a trip to the surface was in order. He got up from the rock he’d been sitting on and started making his way up, still a bit awkward in his movements. Melenna had told him it would take a while until he’d be able to utilise his tail properly, and until then he should be stretching the muscles as much as he could. It wasn’t until yesterday that he’d started to get enough feeling to actually attempt to swim. She’d also told him not to go too far from the settlement – but didn’t going up technically mean staying in the same place? On land it would. The ocean wasn’t that deep here anyway.

It was strange, observing the water surface from down below, as if the waves were inverted. He’d seen it before, of course, with how many times he’d landed in the water over the years, but never this clearly. His eyes must have adjusted to better see underwater. He wondered what else had changed.

The tail was the most obvious, of course. Moving it hurt, a dull pain like a bruise, but he knew it would be getting better soon. It already felt a lot better than it had during the last couple of days. Although he’d seen many colour variations, his tail had a greenish hue, its scales reflecting the light now that he was getting closer to the surface. The scales reached up to his waist, then gradually changed into skin that looked the same as before but felt tougher, like a shark’s.

Another thing that was hard to miss were the gills on both sides of his neck. So far he’d tried his best to ignore them. Every now and then he could feel them flare, something that made him feel uneasy when aware of it. He definitely hadn’t dared to touch them yet, even though he was curious about how they worked.

Eyrian hesitated before breaking the surface: would he still be able to breathe air? He’d seen merfolk on land before – but they had been transformed into their human form. They’d had legs, he didn’t. In his experience most fish didn’t last long on land. Was he even a fish? He wasn’t sure. There was only one way to find out, he thought while taking a deep breath.

The first thing he realised when breaching the surface was how loud it was. Not that there was much to hear: only the sound of the wind and the rolling waves, but during the last couple of days he had gotten used to the way sounds were muted underwater. Although they could speak, their voices did not carry far, so most of the time he was surrounded by silence. He had heard the merfolk make high pitched sounds or clicking noises to get each other’s attention, but he wasn’t sure what all of them meant.

Now the waves sounded deafening, sensations overwhelming him as he glanced around him. The world was bright, but he didn’t seem to be seeing clearly, like there was a film over his eyes. A wave washed over him as he struggled to stay afloat, reflexively trying to kick his tail as if it were legs, his arms flailing. He gasped for air but something seemed to be blocking the airflow, and he started flailing even harder. A panic started to settle in: he needed to stay afloat, no matter what. He needed to get back to the ship.

As if matters weren’t bad enough, something started pulling him under water. He struggled even harder to escape from the thing gripping his waist from behind, but it wasn’t planning to let go. He was pulled beneath the surface, still flailing and gasping for air.

It took him a while to realise he could breathe again, and wasn’t drowning at all. Remembering where he was, he stopped struggling. The grip around his waist was released and someone brushed against him while swimming past. He opened his eyes and looked straight into Melenna’s worried face.

“Please don’t try to drown yourself,” she sighed, an undertone of relief in her voice.

He looked up at the surface above them, the sun as bright as it was before. But for Eyrian, a moment ago it hadn’t been. It had been overcast, the waves tall and dark, topped with white foam. He had been alone and desperate to stay alive, just as he had been a few days ago. He now realised it had just been his mind playing tricks on him, playing into his fears.

“I wasn’t trying to,” he said sheepishly.

“Good.”

Eyrian looked up again, feeling the warm sunlight on his face.

“I just wanted to have a look on the surface.”

“Oh, is that what it was,” she teased. “Being able to stay afloat would surely help.”

“Then teach me.”

“You should first learn to swim properly,” she smiled, circling around him.

He copied her circle pattern, chasing after her – a bit less gracefully than he’d wanted.

“Come on, just a little peek,” he pleaded.

“If you can keep up, perhaps,” she laughed, suddenly twirling around and diving down.

Eyrian, finally having built up some speed, drifted off to the side before he could manage to change direction and follow. It was obvious she was leading him away from the surface.

She started swimming in big curves, then turned to watch him as he followed. She made it look so easy and graceful, her whole body moving in unison, changing direction with minimal effort. His own form must look awkward, he knew. He hadn’t quite mastered the correct rhythm yet, which meant he kept drifting to one side and having to correct his course constantly. And what for Melenna looked like wide arcs, for him felt like sharper turns than he could manage.

“You have to use your entire body,” she advised, swimming back towards him.

She circled around and came up underneath him, gently putting her hands on his waist.

“Right now you’re only moving your tail, keeping this–” she gently squeezed him “–still, which means you have to use your upper body to correct yourself. That will cost a lot of effort, and slow you down. Using your whole body is more efficient and faster – and a lot better for your back. Just look at the way a fish moves. Or a snake, if a land animal is more familiar to you.”

“I think I’ve seen more fish than snakes,” Eyrian smiled. “I’ve been on the sea for a while.”

“I bet most of those fish weren’t swimming anymore, though.”

Eyrian thought of the markets, baskets of dried fish piling high.

“…I suppose you’re right.”

Eyrian tried to change his movements according to the advice she’d given him, a bit nervous about her hands still around his waist. It took some effort, but in the end he was able to move in a way that was at least an approximation of what she’d shown him.

“Better,” she nodded. “Now follow me.”

He felt a jab of disappointment as she let go of him.

They repeated the pattern – a little more smoothly this time. Then they moved on to a different exercise, picking up the pace a little. He followed her absentmindedly, thinking back to his adventure on the surface. Perhaps she was right, and he wasn’t ready to go back there yet: he hadn’t expected to react in the way he did. Perhaps last week’s events had had a bigger impact than he’d thought. A lot had happened after all.

*

He’d been aboard a trade vessel, having secured passage back to Algiers, when they’d been caught in a storm. There were many storms during this time of year, but few of them were as bad as this one. A ship killer, he’d call it. He’d faced a few of them in his day – with varying results, he had to admit – but the ship had always gotten through it. The merchant captain had not been as lucky, although he could hardly be blamed for this. He had tried his hardest to prepare the ship. The crew had struck the sails to not let the wind rip them to shreds – or worse, take down the whole mast with them. Everything out on the deck had been secured to keep it from moving. All they had to do now was hold on tight and wait it out.

The rain started suddenly, like they had sailed straight into a waterfall, immediately drenching everyone out on the deck. Then the wind picked up, whistling eerie melodies as it swept past the rigging and turned the rain into tiny daggers pelting their faces. It had become dark, even though it was only mid-day, and the waves grasped at the deck with icy fingers. The wind and the ocean seemed to fight for control of the ship, both pulling on it, making the wood groan beneath their feet.

While he was working to fasten a line an enormous wave impacted onto the deck, knocking Eyrian off his feet. He tumbled across the deck, his shoulder impacting on something hard along the way. Before he could manage to grab a hold of something the wave spit him out on the other side, dragging him into the churning chaos below. The waves tossed him around, making him lose all sense of direction. Only sporadically he found his way to the surface to gasp for air, only to end up with a mouthful of saltwater instead. Staying afloat was a battle, and one he was losing quickly. If only he could manage to find his way back to the ship. He managed to kick off his boots to stop them from weighing him down. As a wave lifted him up he could suddenly see the ship, a distance away from him. It was only a glimpse, before the wall of water separated them again, but Eyrian could tell she was not doing well. She was at an angle as if capsized, her port side already taken by the waves. One or two lifeboats were drifting beside her, Eyrian did not think they would last long in this weather. Still he attempted to make his way over. What other option did he have? He just needed to find something to hold onto.

The elements disagreed with him on the matter. The waves tossed him around, pulled him under and spit him out again like he was their plaything, and once again he had lost his bearing. He swallowed another gulp of sea water and fought to stay afloat, having no breath left to curse at the waves. He surfaced and desperately looked around, seeing nothing but water. He turned just in time to see the enormous wave that crashed into him. It was like hitting a wall, knocking the breath out of his lungs. He felt a strong current dragging him down. It was too strong to fight against, or perhaps he simply had no fight left. As he sank deeper, the world around him went dark.

He did not expect to wake up, but he did. For a moment he wondered if he was dead, since he felt strangely light, as if he was floating. The pain when he tried to sit up made him believe otherwise. He felt sore all over, but his legs hurt the most. The entire lower half of his body felt like it was on fire, but at the same time strangely numb. When he stirred someone approached him, a pretty face appearing above his; long, dark hair fanning out around her. She told him he was safe, but that he needed to rest.

He did not remember much of the first three days, spending most of it drifting in and out of sleep. A plant-like material was wrapped around his body and he could hardly move, even if he’d wanted to. Sometimes the young woman was at his bedside, sometimes an older woman. He knew that something wasn’t right, but at that point couldn’t quite wrap his head around what it was.

The next day he had felt better, like he’d finally had a decent night of sleep. He took in his surroundings and finally realised what was off: he was under water, lying on the sand in what appeared to be a home crudely constructed out of planks and cloth. He’d started to panic, trying to break free from whatever was wrapped around him, but soon had to give up because it hurt too much. The older woman entered and approached him, quickly followed by the younger one, who carried something in her arms. Eyrian could see them clearly for the first time and recognised them by their colourful fish tails: they were merfolk, a species he had encountered before during his travels. He also knew of the myths being told about them, and slowly his mind started to connect the dots.

“No worry, you are safe,” the older woman spoke.

She had a thick accent, but not one he could place.

“I am Lorina, this is Melenna.”

“Did you… save me?”

The woman nodded. She then removed some of the wrapping, checked underneath it and nodded again. Eyrian wanted to look, he wanted to see with his own eyes what he suspected had been done, but still couldn’t find the strength to sit up.

“Stay,” the old woman commanded, pushing him down again. “Rest.”

She then left, while Melenna approached him. He could now see she was carrying more of the strange vines. He assumed it must be some kind of seaweed they used to treat him.

“You must excuse the sage; she does not speak your language very well,” she explained while setting the bundle down.

“It seems like you do,” he observed.

“I’ve spent some time ashore.”

“Really?”

“Yes. Before my apprenticeship with the sage.”

She carefully started unwrapping him. Eyrian couldn’t see what she was doing, so he instead took the time to study her more closely. She was pretty, with long, dark hair that was tied up behind her head, but a small strand had come loose and floated in front of her face. She brushed it aside. Her skin was darker than his, contrasting with the pinkish-orange hue of her tail, its colour reminding him of salmon. The tailfin had a darker colour, as did two smaller fins on her thighs and a bigger one down her back. They swayed slowly as she was working.

“Can I see it?” he asked.

“What?”

“The tail – mine, I mean,” he added for clarification.

She seemed surprised, her hands pausing.

“You’ve figured it out.”

She studied his face, a mix of curiosity and caution on her own.

“Most people freak out when we tell them. They’re confused, or scared. They scream. You seem so… calm.”

“I’m very tired,” Eyrian shrugged. “I’m sure it’ll sink in soon.”

He laid back down, resting his head on the sand.

“I’ve also met your kind before. It helps.”

“You have?”

Eyrian nodded.

“When you’ve sailed as much as I have, you tend to see many strange things. Things others assume are just fantasies, tall tales shared while enjoying a drink.”

“Hmm, I see. And would you say that belongs in that category?”

She nodded to her left, where, not far from him, something was leaning against the rock. Something metallic.

“Pretty sure that wasn’t on you when I brought you here. And yet it was in your hand as soon as we were getting started. How? I don’t think you were even conscious at the time.”

Eyrian glared at his sword, that had somehow managed to follow him here. It was never going to leave him alone, was it?

“The sage said it was magic,” Melenna continued when he said nothing. “That you were magic.”

He scoffed.

“I wouldn’t go that far…”

“Tell me about it,” she said, leaning in.

Eyrian said nothing, just looked at the gills on her neck, now very close to him, as they softly flared. Only then he realised he must have those too, and a feeling of discomfort came over him. He felt the urge to run, to get the hell out of here as quickly as possible, but could still barely move.

“Tell me, and I’ll help you sit up,” Melenna bargained, watching him struggle. “So you can look.”

He briefly glanced at the sword, the seaweed covering him, and back to her, and realised he had no other option than to stay.

“Fine.”

*

The sword hadn’t moved from its spot in the sage’s workspace. He had no reason to take it with him – and also no scabbard. And even if he did, it would only be in his way while swimming anyway. He didn’t need it.

Melenna observed him from a distance, while he traversed the route she’d set out for what felt like the hundredth time. Around the rocks, under the old shipwreck’s mast, up and over the ship’s deck, and back around.

“You’re getting better!” she encouraged him.

Eyrian knew she was right: the turns were getting easier to take with each try, but he still felt like she was mocking him somehow. The last couple of days he’d felt like a child that still had to learn everything about the world. Unsure about his movements, unsure about his purpose. What exactly was he supposed to do here? Sure, he was still alive – and then what? Was he supposed to stay here, live underwater from now on? Or could he leave? He knew merfolk could take a human form – this was how he’d met them in the first place – but he was also aware this could take years to master. If they were even willing to teach it to a humanborn.

That was what they called him, he’d learned. Some members of the school looked at him with distrusting eyes, not yet sure about this stranger’s intentions. Which was only fair, since he wasn’t either. He’d only been introduced to a handful of them – Melenna’s friends, he supposed – but the entire school seemed to know about him. He wondered how often they would take in humans, and if there were any here now.

“Not at the moment,” Melenna said when he asked her about it, “but there have been some in the past. The sage has performed the ceremony three times in her life. For me, you were the first.”

“Really? I’m flattered,” Eyrian grinned, seizing the opportunity to take a break from his laps.

“So, how was it?” he asked, floating up to her. “Is it difficult? How does it work?”

She thought for a moment.

“It’s a complicated process, it’s hard to explain – what do you remember about it?”

Eyrian shrugged.

“Nothing at all? You sure?”

She looked at him questioningly, then shook her head.

“Perhaps it’s for the best. You were drowning, after all.”

“I’m already remembering more than I’d like,” Eyrian admitted. “From before. I don’t think I want to know.”

“I understand. I know I’ll never be able to forget about it – I suppose that’s a good thing.”

“Why? Are you supposed to perform it on your own next time?”

“Most likely. We don’t take in humans that often and the sage is getting weaker. This ceremony took a toll on her, even if she’s too proud to admit it.”

“I see…”

An awkward silence hung between them as neither of them knew what to say.

“Why don’t we give the surface another try?” Melenna suggested. “You seem to have gotten the hang of this.”

“I thought you’d never ask,” Eyrian grinned.

She looked up, observing the waves in the distance above them.

“Not here, though. The water’s too rough because of the current. But I know a place where it’s calmer.”

He followed her back in the direction of the settlement. It was hidden between the rocks, with houses built out of seaweed and what appeared to be parts of sunken ships. Planks, crates, rope, sailcloth – there was even a cannon sitting on the main square, which seemed to be used mostly by the children to play on. Their parents were nearby, going about their business for the day. Some seemed to be trading, others were crafting things out of seaweed or shells. From what Eyrian could tell, the people here used both local products and things scavenged or traded from the land. He knew Melenna had spent time on the land before, probably for those purposes. He imagined it to be a risky task, getting what you wanted while trying to avoid suspicion. A lot of humans couldn’t be trusted – he’d had his own experiences in that area.

A little while past the settlement Eyrian spotted another shipwreck. It was only a fishing vessel, smaller and a lot more recent than the wreck he’d just spent an hour swimming circles around. That one was old, almost entirely taken by algae and barnacles. This one, he estimated, couldn’t have been down here for more than a year or so. All ropes, sails and flags had been stripped from her mast; her deck was empty. He suspected the hold of the ship had received a similar treatment. The merfolk had picked it clean, claiming everything that could be of use.

He wondered if that would be happening to his ship right now. Surely they must have seen it go down, and if they hadn’t, they should have found it by now. The question was: what exactly would they find? The ship had taken quite a beating – Eyrian had no idea about the state the wreck would be in.

“The ship – my ship – is it far from here?” he asked, speeding up to swim alongside Melenna.

“I’m not sure where it is – I was a bit preoccupied at the time,” she smiled while gesturing in his direction.

Then her face turned serious.

“I’ll have to ask around. We could go see it if you want, but only if you’re ready.”

Eyrian considered the offer.

“What do you think happened to the rest of the crew?”

She averted her gaze.

“I’m not sure. When things like this happen, we do what we can. There’s an island nearby, but bringing humans there is not without risk. We try, but we can only carry one at a time. Keeping their heads above water is hard work, especially in weather like this. Without a doubt a lot of them will have drowned. The sea is simply too rough.”

Eyrian stayed quiet for a bit. He had only been aboard for one voyage, and didn’t feel like he’d really been part of the crew yet, but he’d known many of them by name. These were good men and they’d deserved better.

“Why me?” he asked after a while.

He stopped swimming, floating still in the water, waiting until Melenna turned around.

“You had an entire crew to choose from. Why me?”

“Because the goddess wanted it so.”

“The goddess?”

“Her name is Danala. She rules over all life in the oceans.”

For a brief moment, Eyrian felt like he was back in his home town, being lectured on the gods and how they played a part in every aspect of their lives. Back then, their water goddess, Dragha, was the only one he’d been even remotely interested in. She did whatever she pleased, unpredictable like the ocean itself. And most importantly: in all his years she’d never tried to bother him, as if they’d had a mutual understanding. He did not like the implications being made here at all.

“And this… goddess told you to save me? Did she appear to you?”

Melenna shook her head.

“That is not her way. She brought you to us on the current.”

“The current?”

Eyrian had to try his hardest not to laugh. Not out of disrespect, but from relief.

“The current is just a current,” he said. “Not everything is a sign from higher powers.”

“If that is what you choose to believe,” she shrugged. “I wouldn’t expect a human to understand.”

She was right: he didn’t understand. He never had. How could people put their faith into beings they only knew from stories, have their lives guided by them – even fight wars over them? Even if they were real – and he highly doubted that – they were so far removed from the everyday world, how could they possibly know what it was like to be a human? How dare they involve themselves in their lives, push them in a direction they thought was best? If this had indeed been the interference of a goddess – whatever her name may be – he considered this the end of whatever agreement they’d had so far.

“Whether you believe in her or not,” Melenna continued, “in bringing you to us she may have saved the lives of some of your crew.”

“What do you mean?”

“At the time, we did not know your ship was in trouble. During storms like this we prefer to stay near the ocean floor, where the weather can least affect us. Only after you arrived some of us went to inspect the surface. Otherwise we wouldn’t have known.”

“Only a minute ago you told me you didn’t know whether they’d survived.”

“I don’t know the exact numbers, no. But some did, and without you that number would have been zero.”

Eyrian thought for a moment.

“Why didn’t you take me to that island as well?”

“There was no time. You had lost consciousness, and from that point there is only a small window to do what needs to be done. Dragging you back to the surface would have taken too long. Our options were to turn you or to let you die.”

“But surely taking me to the surface would have been the quickest option? You told me yourself that it’s a long and complicated process.”

“You humans are so ungrateful to be alive,” Melenna sighed.

“I’m not ungrateful, I’m just confused! I don’t know how these things work!”

He paused to take a breath.

“Of course I’m grateful – I owe you my life. But this is also very strange, and I’m just trying to understand.”

Melenna observed him for a moment, as if deciding whether to interpret this as an apology, then sighed.

“As soon as the ceremony starts, you are protected,” she explained. “Which means you won’t drown until it’s finished. But when it’s started, it has to be completed. If we stop, you will die. If we wait too long, you will die. If we do it incorrectly… – you get it.”

Eyrian nodded. Even though he was unfamiliar with this particular type of magic, he knew how dangerous magic could be. You didn’t want to leave any loose ends.

“In that case I’m glad it went well,” he grinned. “I like being alive.”

“Good. Don’t make me regret this.”

Melenna smiled sweetly and continued on her way.

While Eyrian could detect no sign of ill intent in either her voice or her face, he knew he’d just been threatened, and he had no doubt she would make good on that threat. He wasn’t sure why she seemed to dislike him so much – okay, he was being a little difficult, but what else could be expected from a human going through this? From his point of view he was doing incredibly well, all things considered.

When they’d reached the surface, Melenna circled back to come face to face with him. After his last attempt, Eyrian felt a little nervous, even though he knew there was no real reason to. He couldn’t drown, it would be alright.

“Are you ready?”

He nodded.

“Alright. As you know, merfolk can adapt their bodies to live on the land as well as in the water. The most obvious way – a full transformation – is quite demanding, but there are other, smaller changes that can be just as useful – and a lot easier to manage. As you experienced this morning, right now your body is optimised for being underwater. You’re using your gills to breathe while your nose is closed off. You can also switch, meaning your nose will open and your gills will close off. It can be tricky to find the right muscles to do it at first. The most important thing to remember is that when in this form, you have to consciously switch to breathing through your nose. If you’re not paying attention, or asleep, your body will automatically switch back to using your gills – yes, even if you’re human and used to breathing through your nose.”

She paused for a moment, looking him in the eye.

“What I’m saying is: don’t fall asleep on the beach – it’s not great.”

“Speaking from experience?” he grinned.

“Perhaps.”

She gestured towards the surface.

“When you have legs, it works the opposite way – so don’t fall asleep in the water. But you won’t have to worry about that for a long time.”

“How long, do you think?”

“Couple of years, give or take. Transforming is more difficult to learn for humans.”

“Really? You would think it’d be easier.”

She raised an eyebrow.

“Who do you think can manage shapeshifting faster: someone who has been capable of it their whole life, or someone who only just got the ability?”

“When you put it that way…”

“It’s not about the legs. It’s about knowing what to do to trigger a transformation – and how to maintain it. Even after you’ve managed to change, keeping your legs will be challenging at first. You’ll most likely revert as soon as a bit of water splashes you.”

“Sounds wonderful…” Eyrian sighed.

“Being a humanborn is not all bad,” Melenna smiled. “Once you’ve mastered the transformation, you’ll be able to stay away from the water for longer periods of time. Merfolk in human form have to keep their skin hydrated, humanborns do not. Sure, it’ll be uncomfortable for a while, but it will pass.”

“So, in theory I could go back to living as I did before without issue?”

Melenna stared at him for a while, with a look he couldn’t quite decipher, then sighed.

“…Yes. But I would advise sticking to the coast and avoiding dry areas.”

“Good to know – that there’s options, I mean. I don’t expect to be going anywhere anytime soon. Guess you’re stuck with me,” he grinned.

Melenna cocked her head.

“I think you’re the one stuck with me. And you have a lot to learn, so you’d better be prepared to swim in circles all week.”

“I’m used to training all day,” Eyrian shrugged. “But don’t you have anything better to do? You’re supposed to be assisting the sage, right? Do you even have time to babysit me?”

She lifted her chin.

“I’ll manage. Now do you want to see the surface or not?”

*

It felt good to finally feel the breeze on his face again. It was late: the sun almost touched the horizon, but in the end he’d managed to change his way of breathing. During the process he’d inhaled more water than he’d wanted, no doubt to Melenna’s entertainment.

While he drank in the view – the clouds; the sunset; the island she’d mentioned in the distance to the west – he noticed she was looking at him. He looked back, locking eyes with her, determined to not look away until she did. She kept her eyes on him, a piercing look, as if trying to find out what was going on in his head. Her eyes were dark, appearing almost black, and reflected the last rays of sunlight playing on the waves. He felt as if he could look into those eyes forever.

He flinched as a thin, translucent membrane slid in front of her eyes and then retracted. It had only lasted a split second, but it had been enough for him to lose his focus.

She grinned at him, raising an eyebrow as if to say “I win”.

“Cheater,” he muttered under his breath.

“It’s not cheating if you can do it too.”

Eyrian moved in closer.

“Really? Show me again.”

She blinked again, more slowly this time. Unlike a regular blink, this third eyelid moved horizontally across her eye, while she maintained eye contact.

“That’s really creepy,” he said, eyes still fixated on hers. “I love it.”

He attempted to imitate her, but judging from the amused look on her face he was pretty certain he was just blinking.

“They close reflexively when in contact with water,” she explained.

“That’s pretty ne–”

A splash hit him in the face.

“See?”

Eyrian spit out some water.

“…Thanks.”

He noticed his sight had become a bit blurry. He blinked and it was gone.

“I imagine it takes some practice,” Melenna said and splashed him again.

“Stop it!”

He rubbed his eyes.

“I don’t think this is making me see any clearer.”

“Not up here, no. But underwater they do. Just try to open them and you’ll see what I mean.”

“I think I have a pretty good idea of what it’ll look like. I’m used to human eyes, remember? They do not like saltwater very much.”

“How impractical.”

Eyrian shrugged.

“We can’t all be perfect.”

The sun had disappeared behind the horizon, the clouds were slowly losing their pink glow.

“We should head back before we lose the light,” Melenna said.

“Can we come back up here tomorrow?”

“…Sure. After you’re done swimming your laps,” she grinned, before gracefully diving beneath the waves.

Eyrian cast a last look at the island in the distance and followed.
