Damon was indeed having the time of his life. Being a mermaid was amazing! It was simply incredible! It was like flying! Even better, he could dive out of the water and jump like a dolphin. Damon did not feel cold and breathing through his gills felt like the most natural thing in the world. He was happier than he had ever been and he thanked all the deities in the universe to have found that lamp. He wondered if he could sing enthralling songs. He tried so and indeed it was the case. It was absolutely spell-binding and a real dream come true. He was beautiful and incredibly elated. How lucky he had been to encounter this genie! Alas, even though Damon did not know it - yet - he was about to lose his safety net.
For while Damon was enjoying himself immensely, the genie had retreated into her lamp and as she waited snoozing and munching on delicacies within the magically spacious and luxurious confines of her home, she heard someone enter the room. Interesting. Because if this someone rubbed her lamp, then she would have a new master, thereby rendering Damon genie-less if he required help. He'd be stuck as a mermaid potentially forever. And the person rummaged around, seizing her lamp and brushing his or her fingers against it. The genie spiralled out, thereby sealing Damon's fate. She looked upon her new - astonished - master.
