Some of the eders would chase him off or try to get it where he could not breath well as they'd would put their tails against either of his gills to where they could not flex. His father not wanting to deal with him and his mother well she was rather disappointed that he was so small. They would usually just tell them to knock it off when he got close to passing out. He was running away from some older children when one decided to take a good size bite on his ear and made it bleed and him cry out in pain. They soon stopped chasing him when they had seen some sharks nearby before a boat. He was caught in the net and seen by humans. Tossed out of the net after them trying to figure out what he was decided they had no care, he was small and there was no point bringing him in when they could catch something twice his size. Once back in the water there were some new people that usually hunted and brought back to their land either as meat or to be used as a work animal.
As he was too small they knew he wouldn't make good on the meat part, and still to small as a work anima. They kept him tied up in some kind of under water building they fed him and made sure he couldn't really run off anywhere and that's when it started, when he started to get bigger as he matured. Now was the time for him to be broken in. They placed a saddle on his back and tried to saddle break him. He fought everyone and anything they did to get him to be like the rest of them. He didn't want to be tamed. So most of the time he was starved or whipped until he couldn't fight as much in hopes that they would be able to saddle break them. He was just about seventeen when they got tired of him bound him in chains and pushed him into a water current to get rid of him but not before they put a brand on his neck. He stayed floating and trying to break free but the chains and wires wrapped around him cut into him, the salt water burned but healed his wounds his drifted for days before he passed out from being tired, from starvation and just all together struggling to get free.
It was after five days floating in the current that he felt eyes on him. He had spotted someone in the water, but he felt like he was in new water. How did he get here and who was the person with blue and green scales and webbed fingers that was watching him. Was this someone who was going to let him free? Or was this person here to harm or kill him. His heart rate went up and became increased as he began to thrash around and cry out in fear.
