Karas, Algis and Damon reached the pod per se and Damon could see that life seemed quite good for these merpeople. All were young and bursting with youth. In fact, no children were present. But all seemed very intent upon expressing their love through touching. Caresses, in fact. Many had fish tails but other sported marine mammal appendages too, like dolphin, manatees or porpoises. Whales, even. Of course, all fitted for size. Damon was introduced and all were delighted to see a newcomer. Yet all agreed "Damon" was no proper name for a merman and as Damon had been transformed, well, all said that an appropriate name would be Glaucus. Damon accepted it, even if the action made him feel a tad uncomfortable. But the sex afterwards certainly compensated for this name-changing. Touching the perky boobs or big breasts of female mercreatures felt very satisfying indeed. The mermen was so attractive too! Damon had never felt any homosexual desires as a human but now... Wow! He dimly wondered if this was because he was now a merman and it was normal for them, or because everyone here was seemingly gifted with mandatory good looks, all males included.
Then a mermaid proposed to bask in the shallows and on the beach and all cheered at the idea. Damon, now Glaucus, followed his new pod and he laid down under the sun upon the pale yellow sand, inhaling the wonderful scent of pine in the very nearby forest. Glaucus felt in paradise, in this Mediterranean landscape. Yes, this was paradise indeed! He moved his tail lazily into the wonderfully sweet-smelling sand, then raising it up so it caught the beams of the hot sun shinning in the skies. He started snoozing, happy to indulge in this incredible environment, relaxing and making him feel like this was like a summer vacation which would be ever-lasting.
Alas, a shriek was heard, snapping him brutally out of his reverie. A shriek of terror. In the turmoil that followed, Glaucus just heard shouts, panicked cries and splashes. He yelled too as he felt seized by the tail and pulled upwards. He twisted around to see who had captured him and he screamed all the more.
