Prince Liam’s body heated up as he felt himself losing his masculinity. He could feel his lean build bubbling up and losing all of its muscles. Liam winced at the pain but knew he had to pull through for his friend. Liam tried his best to clutch his wand as hard as he could and let the spell finish until a white flash suddenly covered his vision.
Prince Oliver woke in a gasp as he rose up, his eyes now full of life again. He looked down and patted his fish tail, awed that there were no longer any bite marks that scarred his body. He looked at his arms to see that they were intact as well. Prince Oliver couldn’t believe it, he was alive again!
Oliver's tailfins flapped in excitement as the prince was delighted to feel his merman body again. Prince Oliver turned to see who had revived him and his eyes widened at what he saw.
His savior was a mermaid, and a beautiful one at that. Oliver grinned as he took an eyeful of the mermaid’s long flowing hair, her lovely breasts covered by purple seashells, her perfect curves, and her shimmering scales. Now that he thought of it, Prince Oliver noticed that the mermaid’s purple scales sort of resembled the kingdom colors of… No… It can’t be.
“Liam?!”
The mermaid recoiled at hearing that name. Oliver looked more closely to see that her body was shivering and her eyes began to water as she nodded.
“Liam… What happened to you? How did this even happen?” Oliver asked.
“It was Scarlett… She already found somebody else!” Liam babbled before she laid her hands upon her face and broke down crying.
Prince Oliver was shocked. He gave up his legs just for a chance to meet Princess Scarlett again, and now she has already found someone else. Oliver wanted more answers, but he looked at see that a wand was next to Liam’s body. It didn’t take long until Oliver put the two-and-two together and realized that Liam had paid a serious price to bring back Oliver to life.
While a gender change didn’t seem like too much of a cost on the surface. Liam would forever be unrecognizable to her friends, her family, and to any townspeople that wouldn’t immediately try to capture her for her mermadic body. If it hadn't been for her purple scales, Oliver would’ve believed she was just a natural-born mermaid with no connection to the surface. The once-human Prince of The Purpura Kingdom was now a sniffling mermaid with nobody to turn to, all except Prince Oliver.
It was then that Oliver realized that her heart was so torn apart by Scarlett’s rejection that she gave up her entire identity just to have someone by her side.
“Oh, Liam. I’m so sorry.” Oliver said as he embraced Liam’s body. He rubbed her back as he spoke gently. “I promise everything will be ok.”
Liam raised her head from her hands and glared. “What do you mean that it will all be okay? Look at me, Oliver!” She gestured to her breasts and her tail. “This isn’t who I am! My parents are going to fucking lynch me if they ever see me again. I’m forever bound to the sea. I lost my kingdom, my family, my friends, Scarlett, and-” Liam was interrupted as Prince Oliver leaned forward for a kiss.
Liam's eyes became big as saucers as she felt his lips touch hers, with her body also being embraced by Oliver’s. His muscular forest green fish tail coiling against Liam's slender purple tail. For a very brief moment, Liam wanted to push him away and scream, but then… she started to like the kiss. Oliver’s hands felt soft as they caressed her back and lightly explored her scales.
Liam couldn’t explain why she was starting to like the kiss, but it felt so good to finally have someone intimately touch her body and just let her know that she existed and that she was valid for being born in this world. It was a small bit of pleasure in a world that felt completely unknown in every other way.
Questions started to pop inside her mind. One of which was regarding her sexual orientation. As a human boy, Liam was never attracted to guys. Now here she was returning the kiss of a merprince who once only saw her as a friend not too long ago. Liam had so many questions but they were pushed aside as the two laid on the ground together and gently parted their lips.
The two looked at each other, neither saying a word as they both silently enjoyed each other’s company. Two mers under a moonlit sky.
Several minutes passed by but Liam finally managed to put together a coherent question in her mind and say it. “What do we do now?”
