Jason rubbed a scaled cheek against Naor's paw and laid himself down on the soft undergrowth. "I suppose I should explain how it came to pass that I acquired this form. Before joining the Royal Navy, I was a privateer (a sanctioned pirate) and the crew of the ship I was on always hunted sea monsters. It was customary to drink the blood of a kill with small quantities of venom mixed in to strengthen our bodies. The monster genes and DNA lay dormant in my body until I acquired my hybrid fish form. The genes were then activated and I'm this monster. Captain? Why do you think that no one attacks the ship at night? Because I'm usually in the water, swimming around the ship and attacking any threats." He said, his body beginning to shrink and his voice becoming normal again.
