"The stars smile, the clouds dance. The waters are peaceful, my folk are hopeful, the life force of my home is ever vibrant. My body is waiting. Oh sea goddess, where is my long awaited gift? Where is the beauty that make pearls dance around me you promised? Where is the sensational feeling?" Oceana said and Lavana repeated after her.
"Are my hopes gonna be dashed at the last minute? I wanna be the carp that leapt through the dragon gate!" Oceana said and Lavana repeated in a higher tone.
Immediately, she felt pain in her legs.
She felt her leg's bones break and her reform. Her legs became longer and fused together then continued to lengthen.
Scales started to appear starting from her waist . A large pink tail fin appeared along with fins on her thighs.
She felt like a thousand ants were eating her skin.
"This freaking hurts!" she cried.
"Save your strength. You will be developing gills soon." said Oceana.
"Will it affect my heart?" she asked in her head.
"Yup. It will." Pamela replied.
Lavana nearly fainted.
"Can I push the full transformation date?" she asked.
"Yup, but you can't push the third transformation. Might as well just do everything today." Oceana said heartlessly.
"Ah, I'm toast!"
"No, you can't be toasted. We're underwater. You can't be frozen either. It's not yet winter." said Pamela.
"You two are ganging up on me." she complained.
"Chap, you haven't met the third sis. It's better you reserve all your complaints for her." said Oceana. "Focus!" she added.
Lavana looked at her tail that was done transforming. It was purple with silver spiral designs and pink fins.
There were a few scales scattered on her belly and arms. Her ears were pointed like an elf.
Her eyes had become orange and her lips were pale blue. Her hair had reached her waist and was moving about in the water.
A pink sapphire gemstone was in the middle of her forehead.
She looked entirely different from the skinny Lavana everyone knew. Then the dreaded chest pain came.
"Don't remove your hands, chap. Keep hugging the rock." Oceana warned.
"This... is.. un... bearable!" she struggled to speak.
"Save your strength, chap. This is your last warning!" Oceana was pissed.
She felt something forming on the right side of her chest. Her chest heaved up and down as fast as her breath had become. But she dared not stop hugging the rock. Her survival depends on it.
30 minutes later.
She lay exhausted on the stream bed, exhaling slowly with her hand on her stomach. There was a blue tattoo of a scallop shell on her right shoulder.
