This was it

She looked out at the ocean, the water that once comforted her. There was no comfort in it now. It had taken her best friend, her only friend. And it would take her. She took across the sand. It's warmness enveloped her feet as if it hoped she would not do this.

She knew her friend was waiting for her out there somewhere. She knew everything was going to change. Her legs would become a tail. Her scarred body would be perfected. And somewhere, someone was watching. She stepped into the water.

Letting the waves pull her further out to sea, she let go of all inhibitions. She could feel the changes taking place. Her new tail, purple and blue, swung out behind her. She had done it. She had become her destiny.

This was it
