[color=lightsteelblue]Artemis’ eyes widened with surprise when Darius picked her up. Alarm had started, then relaxed when she knew it was him. She glanced up at his friendly smile and let out a giggle. She hadn’t been picked up like this in years. Briefly, sorrow would flash across her face then disappear again. The memories were nothing more than a reminder of her guilt. She pushed it away and focused on the situation at hand. She clutched Darius and glanced around fearful, as if a Dark Elf would appear and steal away her happiness again.  It had been too long since she had been treated with kindness. 

Once at the river, Artemis climbed out of Darius’ arms careful and slow. She gripped the cool grass with her toes and smiled faintly at the river. [color=darkturquoise][i]Oh Darius, you silly but delightful human.. Just wait.[/i][/color] She turned to see Myra understood the scenario; the demon kept pointing to her legs then to the water. [color=orchid]”What a clever girl. Way to go, Myra.”[/color] 

Artemis then cleared her throat and glanced at them both. [color=orchid]”May I have a moment of privacy please?”[/color] When they both turned away, Artemis then stripped the bodysuit and adjusted her seashell bra. She then limped into the water and sank into it. Once submerged, her tail began to form. There was a brief moment of pain as her torso and lower body began to shift. There were a few snaps and pops, then silence. Her tail was mainly pink iridescent, but other colors weaved through it in an iridescent pattern.  She had always loved her tail. The pain didn't bother her either. She had grown used to transforming. Coupled with that and years of abuse, she had grown numb to pain.

Artemis let out a deep, relaxing sigh as her heart rate began to slow down, and her lungs began soaking in the water.  She rested her head back and her arms beside her so that her tail was hanging half out of the water. Artemis, knowing the man had never seen a mermaid before, began to snicker. Though she kept in mind he was human, she wanted to prank him just a bit. Artemis lifted her tail into the water and splashed him with it, then went back to hanging her tail out of the water. It wasn’t enough to soak him or drench him, but enough for him to turn around and see.  [color=orchid]”So, human huh?”[/color] Artemis began to laugh genuinely for the first time in years. [color=orchid]”Does Earth have anyone like me?”[/color] Artemis knew the answer would be no and was smirking. [color=orchid]”The cold doesn’t bother me, Darius, just so you know.”[/color][/color]
