As Damon silently grieved over his regretful decision of ever signing that contract, Alora smiled and decided to swim back up to find another victim on the land.
"Interesting how that boy was willing to give up his freedom just for three days of being a merman. A bit of a shame, he did look quite handsome with a tail." The sea witch thought to herself.
"Oh well. I wonder if there's more humans who are willing to sign my contracts. Polyps are like pearls, you can't have just one." Alora giggled to herself at the thought as she approached the water's surface.
Alex was on the beach, enjoying some time to himself. He wore a pair of sunglasses as his body was soaking up the sun's rays.
"Ah, this is the life. No more annoying teachers or final assignments. Just the sun and plenty of me time." Alex sighed as he looked at the water just below his feet.
His mind started to wander, as he had a Creative Writing minor back in college. "I wonder what it's like to be under the sea."
As if on cue, Alex heard a female voice. "Maybe I can help you."
Alex looks and sees Alora's form - dark green hair and light green skin with forest green octopus tentacles where her legs should be.
"Aww sweet! A Cecaelia!" Alex took off his sunglasses and eagerly "shook" one of Alora's tentacles like it was a hand.
"Oh my, aren't you a lover of mythology?" Alora chuckled.
Alex grinned. "I am! Say, what's a girl like you doing around here?"
"I'm Alora, a sea witch. You wanted to live in the sea, and I can help you with that."
Alora then brings out a contract. "Sign this and I'll turn you into a merman. Then you'll be able to live under the sea."
Alex smiled. He wondered if there was a catch but his doubt was soon overwhelmed by his excitement. His grandfather was a fisherman and Alex found it only poetic that his grandson would become a fish himself.
Plus, he was a fan of The Little Mermaid, even enjoying the sequel, when he was a kid. He didn't want to pass this seemingly once-in-a-lifetime opportunity up.
Alex eagerly signed the contract. As soon as he did, Alex fell onto the ground as his legs fused together. Magic was causing his DNA to change, causing his body to eagerly adapt into an aquatic form.
Quickly, he crawled to the ocean as his toes pulled out into two tailfins. Alex gets into the water as slits appear on the side of his torso, he now had gills.
Alex's legs pulled together into a long fish tail as it became covered in crimson scales and his upper body became stronger.
When it was over. Alex was now a merman.
He grinned as he looked at his new body in awe. "This is awesome."
Alex then goes into the water to enjoy his new life. Alora helped herself to the beach and sat upon the towel the merman had left behind.
"Nice. I didn't even need to explain the conditions to him." She thought. "Oh boy, the look on his face after three days will be priceless."
