On the coasts of Ireland, there lived a beautiful lass — a fisherman's daughter, who dearly loved the sea. From afar, a selkie king — a man who could shift his form and become a human, or a seal — watched her, and came to love her, and in turn she fell in love with him. But they were separated by the lands of their birth — one could not live in water, lest she drown, and one could not live on land, lest he die.
When they met, each proclaimed they would prefer to die than to live apart, and each abhorred the thought of losing their lover. The lass had an idea — to speak with her grandmother, who had lived long beside the ocean, to see if there was some spell or magic charm that could allow them to live together. Her grandmother spoke of her own mother, who had herself been a selkie, and buried her sealskin beneath a tree. Anyone who wore it could themselves become a selkie.
The lass found the spot it had been buried, and dug up the magnificent sealskin cloak. After donning it, she was able to transform into a seal herself, and thus join her beloved in the ocean.
