[private] For a mermaid just like you; Deiti

[Deiti]

My brain is foggy as I tread water beside the victim I have claimed.  Reptilian eyes staring blankly at the subject of my hunger, but something stops the feeding.  Some inner voice tells me to look again, to see.

"Leilan," I say in a breathless whisper.  My eyes blink a multitude of times before my mind clears enough to see the golden edges of his body.  Just before he is thrashing to life and looking back at her with alien eyes, "Leilan...?" I repeat as if saying his name will quicken my mind, but it is the low gruntle noise that causes me to move.  To strike the water with my mermaid tail just as a hunk of frozen liquid attaches around it and heavies me downward.  My useless horse forelimbs work tirelessly to keep me from sinking too low.  Sapphire eyes staring up towards my destination and seeing my friend fleeing for safety of land.  A sudden sadness overcomes me as I watch helplessly -waiting for the warm waters to release me of the ice.  What have I done?

Once I am free, a few flicks of my tail and I surface with a gasp.  Panic plagues me as my eyes search for the roany stallion, my voice chokes out his name, clearing water from my lungs, "Leilan!" I turn to find him upon the rocks with just as much confusion on his face as mine, "Leilan! Are you okay?! I am so very sorry Leilan." My apology comes quickly and with good reason.  I had killed my friend... 

Swimming towards the shores, my gaze examines him.  Finding him changed, scaled and with a scar where the open wound had been.  I look into his eyes with a pleading expression of forgiveness and I see those eyes.  Their depth and color more distinct than they had been before, "Leilan... What happened to your eyes? Your skin?" I crawl onto the rocks beside him, my tail giving way to hindlimbs.  I examine him curiously, before wondering out loud, "Did... Did I do that?"  My thoughts run wild with the familiarity of the changes and I slightly wonder if Ivar had been the cause of my change, fore it had been the moment when Ivars teeth had grazed my flesh that my appearance had morphed...
