<strong>Friday Night</strong><br/><br/>Far off in the distance thunder rumbled a warning to those who lived on and in the sea, a storm was approaching fast. This was no ordinary storm it happened but once a year and was known to the mer people as the storm of change. If a mer happened to out and caught in the swirling waters and flashes of lightning then they could or so legend said be granted legs. Something or someone added unknown power to this particular storm of change, and a young mermaids life was about to change forever. Mari was out swimming exploring the coral when she felt the shift in the water, the tides changing and a voice calling hauntingly over the waves<strong>" god of the ocean or whatever is calling me, my life sucks, something needs to change please"</strong>when the female surfaced to look for the voice however she couldn't see anyone.<br/><br/><strong>Saturday</strong><br/><br/>The storm hit the water and even though Mari had been careful to stow herself somewhere safe away from the dangerous pull of the water, she felt like she had to be out in it. The silver haired beauty couldn't get the hanging voice from the day before out of her head and for some reason she couldn't help but think she had heard it somewhere before. Mari dared to swim out in search of whatever it was that spoke to her, the waves heaved, the sky boomed and flickered, throwing the mermaids underwater world into chaos. Fish and creature alike were diving into caves and deeper water. All warning the female to stay away.... suddenly a single fork of lighting hit and somehow speared the depths of the water to hit Mari.<br/><br/>It froze her to the spot and then the water began to swirl around her creating a vortex of spinning water, thunder boomed echoing into the vortex and another crash of lightning hit rickoshadding light into the spinning darkness. Mari couldn't see anything , her body thrown round and round until she was completely disoriented, the light so bright she was temporarily blinded. The sound of water and thunder filling her ears and then nothingness.....<br/><br/><strong>Sunday</strong><br/><br/>Bright morning light pierced the unconsciousness mermaids eyes, she opened pale blue eyes to the sun rising, pain shot through her body and she sat up with a gasp. Mari blinked uncomprehendingly at the sight that greeted her, instead of a beautiful tail of silver scales her eyes beheld a pair of legs! Mari reached out and patted them with shock, they felt real enough! Then memories of the day before flooded her and she sat there dumbfounded the story of the old legend was true, she had been given legs! Why she had been chosen Mari couldn't say but she needed to find out where she was. The female looked around, she had been washed up on the shore, it looked familiar to her but she had never learnt land names. The mermaid decided she should explore but how did she do that? Mari gazed at her new legs in confusion.
