Patrick chose the tunnel that read merchild for males. Patrick walked down the tunnel. As he did, he became shorter, younger. The blonde hair of his youth returned, his adult teeth fallout as his primary teeth painlessly regrew. His glasses fell off as clarity returned to his eyes. His pubic hair fell off as his baby fat returned. His clothes shrank to fit him, turning into clothes fit for a 6 year old.
As he walked, he smelled the sea, he saw what he thout were glass windows. However upon touching them, the felt almost gelatinous. He pushed harder, and felt nothing but sea water. Startled by this, he pulled his hand out and ran towards the end of the tunnel.
There he found a family of merpeople.
The mom was a true beauty among beauties. She was 40, but looked 30. She had a heart-shaped face, a small nose and chin. Beautiful sea green eyes and tail, freely flowing waist blond hair, and a corset made from seashells, kelp, and sponges. Her hair was decorated with smaller shells, a star fish, and a string of pearls, along with a green sea flower.
Her daughter, 18, looked similar, but with the brown hair of her father. She wore a sand dollar necklace. She had a similar but less elaborate corset.
Finally there was the Father, who's huge muscles, chiseled chin, and long braided brown bead and free flowing hair. He had multiple tribal tattoos and a shark tooth necklace.
