Your heart beats with anticipation of what is to come. “It’s me first, then.”
“Topaz told me she can change us both, a few minutes apart – so I’ll be close behind you,” Caroline announces. “Grab a towel from the upstairs cupboard, Neil. You can get changed in the bathroom.”
You nod, and get to work. Leaving your clothes on a wooden stool in a corner of Caroline’s roomy bathroom, you then hurry downstairs to present yourself – wrapped in a large towel – to Topaz.
“I am ready for you to do your magic,” you tell her.
The mermaid’s face lights up, and she effortlessly glides over to your side of the pool. With small circles of her tail, she keeps herself afloat and upright. “I am ready for you, also. Come down to me, Neil. You will need to be in the water, for you to be changed!”
Dropping the towel, you dive in naked – then surface and approach Topaz.
She snuggles herself against you, and lays the fingers of one hand on your forehead. “Now relax, Neil. Think of floating in the sea, below the waves. The water is calm and blue. You cannot drown. There is nothing to fear - you are totally at peace, and happy. You want to be as one with the sea…”
“Yes, I do,” you reply, truthfully. Topaz’s soft, beguiling voice is smoothing. Her touch is gentle – yet you sense power within her, reaching out to you.”
“Then be a merman, Neil. At least whilst the water surrounds you…” Topaz’s other hand presses against your legs, even as she wraps her lovely tail around them, binding your naked, lower body.
“Urr… What are you doing? I thought I made it clear. No hanky panky,” you remind her.
The mermaid sighs wistfully. “And I will honour your wishes. I am just making you more relaxed. It will aid your change.” She closes her eyes, in concentration – and a rush of energy floods into your being from her lower-placed hand. A blue-green glow sweeps through your whole body.
You gasp at the spine-tingling sensation. It is like a mild wave of electricity engulfing your very soul. It’s just as well that Topaz is holding you upright and head above water. In your numbed state, you might sink…
The changes begin. A membrane of skin grows downwards from behind your groin, sealing your legs together, as it reaches right out to your ankles. Then the ‘bridge’ is built up with tissue and blood vessels, as your leg bones soften and fuse to form a single limb, which hardens again. A scattering of blue scales gathers and sweeps upwards from your dissolved feet, which are now fanning out and reshaping into a two-foot long caudal fin. Other, smaller, fins appear – both on your lower body and your forearms – as you examine yourself in wonder. Fleshy tissue, lined with a coating of piscine scales builds up around and over your male equipment, tucking your parts away into a grove at the front of your developing merman’s tail…
“Wow!” you gasp.
Your new fishy friend grins, pleased with your response. Then she wraps her arms around your shoulders and plants her lips against yours.
Taken by surprise, the two of you sink into the pool. All surface sounds are cut off. The water (into which Caroline has thoughtfully added some salt) stings your eyes – but then suddenly the pain is gone, and you can see perfectly.
Topaz finally withdraws her smiling face away from yours – but she holds both of your hands in hers. Her long blonde hair floats behind her head – and in that moment she strikes you as an angelic vision. The thought then strikes your mind that you are breathing in the water, as naturally as if it was air! You can now feel the tiny pulsation of gills on your neck.
Your member tries to break free of the protective scales now covering it, in your arousal. But you take a deep breath of salt-tingled water, and remember your friendship with Caroline. Gradually, you regain control over yourself…
Looking down, you see that the glow of metamorphosis has gone. You unwrap your new, matching tail from Topaz’s and brush your fingers down the smooth surface.
You are now a merman! At least for as long as you are in the pool. Beaming wildly, you twist and turn round with the aid of your powerful lower limb. You are somewhat stiff in the upper portion, above where you suspect your legs have been merged – but lower down you are wonderfully supple. You soon swim the circumference of the pool with almost effortless grace.
Remembering Topaz’s earlier movements, you come to a vertical halt, circling your caudal fin to stay upright, as you both surface.
“Happy with your new form – my brother?” Topaz smiles at you.
“Oh, yes! Thank you,” you exclaim – before kissing the mermaid on the cheek.
There is a polite cough from close by. The two of you look up, to see an annoyed-looking Caroline, wrapped only in a towel. With some surprise, you realize that she is feeling jealous of Topaz…
