(Mumbo's P.O.V.)

I lay on my beach mat in silence. The waves lapping the shore rhythmically and the wind blowing softly on my face calms me. Then someone decided to ruin the peacefulness.

"HEY MUMBO!" Shouted Iskall.

"What~" I wined.

"Let's go for a swim!"

I thought about it. To swim, you need to take off your shirt and my wings were under it.

"No thank you."

"Come on, Mumbo, the water is nice.

He was true. The water was really tempting.

"Fine! I'll swim with my top on."

He raised an eyebrow.

"Sure."

Iskall jumped into the water and I followed right behind him. I dived into the ocean. It was calm and cool. The cool water hitting my skin was amazing. The multicolour fish and coral were sensational. I swam surprisingly fast. I went up for a breath. Then something I felt in the pit of my stomach told me something was not right. In a quarter of a second, a tentacle grabbed my ankle and pulled me down into the depths of the ocean. I was quite far from the shore, I must have swum a long way out. I held my breath while I got pulled under and under and the fish darted away from me as a thrashed under its grasp.

I was running out of breath. I could not hold on any longer. But the monster of the depths did not care, it just pulled me harder. I needed to take a breath. But the surface was so far away. My lungs were burning and were like they were on fire. I whispered goodbye to the world and took a breath of the salty seawater. And closed my eyes. Then I opened my eyes. I was perfectly fine! I took another breath. The sensation was strange but I am still alive! But I need gills to breathe underwater and I only have lungs. I felt my face and neck to make sure that was true and gasped. At the side of my neck was three slits, blowing bubbles every time I exhale. They were like ones of a fish, only larger to fit on a human. Grian's voice then squeezed inside my head.

"OOH! Seems like your body was built for a water dragon!"

"Wait! Does this mean I can't go on land anymore?"

"Nonono. You can go to both."

"Ok"

"Well, I need to go now! Bye!"

"Bye Grian"

Then his voice vanished out of my head.

The monster was still pulling me under. I emitted a low growl that shook in my throat. I lunged at the tentacle that was grasping me on the ankle. It twisted tighter and I yelped in pain. I wiggled and the monster replied with another identical tentacle, grabbing my other ankle. I hissed at it. It was very low to bedrock now, and I was getting very worried. A wracking pain went through my hands and feet. I winced at the sudden pain. The monster emitted a low, menacing laugh that pierced straight into the depths of your soul. The pain was now unbearable. It felt like someone was ripping out each of my fingers. My fingernails became sharper and my hands became webbed. I screeched and hissed as the last of my transformation ceased. I had black claws with red webbing in between my fingers.

I slashed at the pinkish flash of the monster. It writhed in pain and let go of one ankle. I bit that, taking along a chunk of flesh. I enjoyed the red blood bleeding into the water. I spat out the stray chunk. It let go of my other ankle. I darted up the surface as quickly as I could. With my webbed limbs, swimming was much easier. I burst out of the water and started to swim to shore.
