There was a boy named Oscar, who liked going to the beach to relax when he got too stressed from life. He prefered going out at night, when not a lot of people visit the area. On one such ocassion, he felt curiosity to see the ocean.
After swimming deep into the ocean, he found interesting sights, such as coral reefs, varying aquatic life forms, and remains of an underwater civilization. Being a human meant he had to go back to the surface to breath a little and continue exploring later.
Each day, he was getting more curious to know what he had missed in the sea. One dight, during a full moon, he checked out the underwater ruins and found an orange, circular orb, carefully positioned at the top of a pillar.
He tried taking it back home as a souvenir, but upon reaching the surface it started to shine, enveloping him in a strange light and triggering a transformation. His skin softened, his hair grew, and his chest expanded a little. He barely had time to process what was happening to her as her legs fused into a fin and she started to feel tired.
As a mermaid, she could figure out was going on later, but first, she needed to find a good place to sleep.
