"my venom made it a bit stingy for a while but your body will heal it up on its own for a few days. dont worry about it."

"venom?"

"yeah, to claim you as my own."

"will i turn?"

"from what granny said, it depends on your blood. since you were casted away from the sea, you had lived among humans all your life. we dont know who your real parents are but apparently you got more human blood than that of the mer-folk. only certain characteristics remain of your kind in you, like your toenails and your inner physique."

"what do you mean?" i was still awestruck by what i see in the mirror. i was literally glowing. not bright glowing but radiating. my eyes turned cerulean blue and my nails as well. i havent noticed before since i was distracted by the pain in my butt but now that i was under the bright light, i looked like a doll. i couldnt find any more specific to describe it but as such.

"i mean you could still have your tail if you want to but it might be abrupt and would not last long

"i mean you could still have your tail if you want to but it might be abrupt and would not last long. for the other stuff, well see if it really will occur."

"the what, arius? its my body, please do tell." i was so stunned by what hes talking about as well as my appearance that everything that hes been spouting out made no sense. but seeing is believing is what they said, well, here i am blue eyed.

"nhu, did you know that some sea creature bears children even though theyre male? well apparently youre kind bears the same unique trait since your kind was not in abundance in population. that is based on what granny said."

"you mean..."

"just maybe... we still dont know if we could but if ever so... well be happy if not, well still be happy, right?"

i hugged arius. i dont know how would i ever known about this if it were not for him. im actually a mer-folk. thats why my voice resonates to people. thats why i felt so alone which was i really was. i dont know if i have anyone like me in this place but whatever happened i dont want arius to get away from me. he tagged me. he claimed me. hes mine. my own.

 my own
