Snippet #2513669

A school of kahawai were unaware of being watched with a hungry gaze, the group swimming along the coast of the bay without care. Their blissful ignorance was short lived, a sudden dart of movement and blue shimmer passing by before two of the larger fish were snatched up. One fish was already in a set of powerful jaws, the other clutched in a tight grip from deceptively gentle looking hands.

The creature smiled in content as she munched away on her dinner, quickly finishing the first before biting into the second kahawai with relish. She finished off two other fish before deciding she was full, watching as the school in question swam away in a nervous flurry. The fish would become complacent in mere minutes again, living the life of simple prey.

Swimming to the surface and peeking her head out of the water, the young woman glanced around for a moment, relaxing upon seeing nothing unusual in the bay. No small vessels were out on the water, and the towns were far enough away to not be of undue concern, but not so foreign as to not show a soft glow of light in the distance. Forests and mountains dotted the landscape before the land sloped down and eventually met the shore of Golden Bay.

Approaching the beach of Golden Bay, the unusual creature made her way to a large rock protruding from the water, deciding this was a good perch for the time being. As she hoisted herself up, she revealed a shimmering, iridescent blue tail starting from her waist. Blue scales dotted her torso and covered her chest, and blue hair contrasted with her pale skin. The mermaid watched in fascination as her tail slowly began to morph into human limbs, the only sign of her tail having existed manifesting in lingering scales spotted along her skin.
