As John took the pearl, he felt compelled to look down upon it as it glowed ever so slightly in his open palm. Serene took the pearl from him and placed it between his collarbones. Two glowing gold strands snaked out of the pearl and around John’s neck, joining together seamlessly at the back. John felt warmth course up and through his body and happiness creep upon his person. The aches and pains of sleeping on rough terrain vanished, as well as his yearning for Lavender. He still felt that he loved her strongly, so perhaps the pearl did not make one fall in love with someone after all.

“Serene will take you to your boat now.”

“Thank you,” John said as she pulled him into a kiss. John’s thoughts of Lavender drifted away quickly. Serene broke the kiss and stepped onto the pool of water. John joined her. Together they sank into the water slowly. John noticed that he had no need to breathe and felt like he could hold his breath forever. Then he saw Serene in her full mermaid glory. What had looked pale green, stringy, and wet above the water now looked in its right place. Her hair flowed in the water, and her skin looked creamy and white. Her eyes shone blue, and her tail sparkled and glittered in the filtered light of the ocean. She took John’s hand and swam powerfully fast. It did not take long before they broke the surface of the water and John could see his boat before them.

John smiled and chuckled, feeling exhilarated. “Come on, I’ll show you my boat.”

John climbed aboard and took Serene’s hand. She climbed with legs that had appeared from nowhere. As she climbed fully aboard, her hair dried and her eyes became more human-like. A dress protruded from her skin and changed into a beautiful, long-sleeved, dark red gown that dragged on the ground with a slit up to her thigh.

“Serene, such beauty. You can transform from one pleasing form to another.”

“Yes. I can transform you, if you would like.”

“Transform me how?”

“I did it for Morose. I made him young again so we could be together longer”

“How old are you?”

“I am sixty moons.”

“Moons? Let’s see. There are roughly twelve moons per year. Divide sixty by that and you are only five years old!”

“Years?”

“It doesn’t matter. You are just a child.”

“A child?”

John shrugged her question off and looked around. Confusion had overcome him. “I was going somewhere before, but I can’t remember exactly where.”

“You were going to rescue your wedding day from Morose, my love. But it doesn’t matter now.”

“Why?”

“Because you are my love now.”

“I don’t know about that,” John stumbled. He felt an intense exhaustion, and he couldn’t remember what he was going to do next. “But I am very tired.” John yawned and felt he must lay down immediately. He stumbled all the way to his cabin and collapsed on the bed.
