(F TF H Seadragon Mermaid, BE, macro)

The ship christened the Baltica cuts across the mild waves of the ocean. Most of her hull space is dedicated to filtering clean water from the ocean below, and harvesting plots of garden on the ship itself. The crew is actually quite small given the size of the immense ship, and that is because she set sail to find new land- so there is no telling how long they will be adrift for. They have an emergency eject button in the form of a magic seal that links back to their homeland- but preferably they use it once they find new land; creating a link between the two land masses to travel between instantly. They cannot simply use it to go back for resources because the rune will burn out its power if it's just out in the middle of nowhere.

Thalassa is a woman of the Baltica- beautiful though lacking any and all curves. A beanpole of a figure, but a beautiful face, vibrant seafoam green eyes and plush scarlet lips with naturally long lashes. Her body is quite fit, so you can faintly see her abs on her tight stomach and her lower back is marked with venus dimples. Thal is very tall for a woman as well. Her skin tanned a beautiful bronze and her pale brown hair almost perpetually bleached golden by the unrelenting sun. Her hair is to her mid-back and tied in two places into a loose ponytail. Normally having a woman abroad a ship for long periods of time is asking for trouble- but the Baltica is majority women including the captain, so the male sailors are actually at a disadvantage here.

Thalassa had two close friends she has made while on this voyage. Well- and the captain Mirovia; not really a friend, but still a person Thal has come to trust. There is Rheic; a muscular Adonis always flaunting his stuff trying to impress her. They had been dating a very long time ago, but they both changed quite a bit since then. Thal doesn't mind his flirting but has also made it clear she is not jumping the gun to be back in his arms after he already fucked up a chance to be together once before. Rheic is rather pale skinned and has bleach-blond hair and eyes the exact color of the afternoon sky. Then, secretly Thalassa's current lover- Tethys. Tethys is a beautiful woman, and her skin is naturally a pale brown, so it tans just a darker shade of the same brown. Her hair is a glossy black and all the way to her butt- though she is much shorter than Thal, so if you compared their hair alone; it's actually the same length. Also unlike Thal; Tethys' has a small but round bubble butt, and her chest is crowned with two huge, floppy natural K cup melons! Rather than a normal top, she usually wears a band of cloth wrapped around her chest several times, because no normal bikini can contain her boobs- they are too soft and big, they always squirm their way out! That was how Tethys knew to make a move on Thalassa- she caught her gawking at her ripe melons.

Like usual, the two snuck off from the others once their duties were taken care of and made their own fun on the ship. Thalassa skittered barefoot in the hull of the ship- the deck overhead was just iron grating so plenty of sunlight got down to the plants below. She ran among trees and shrubs elevated in planter boxes- they have special vents on the side to catch any sea water that gets in and filter the salt so the plants often end up getting automatically watered when the waves get rough. Thal looked around with a giddy smile for Tethys among the plants but did not see her. She climbed up onto the edge of the planters since the wood was dry there, and her bare feet did not make wet slapping sounds with each step, and snuck around. When she caught Tethys, she was so startled she almost slapped herself in the face with her own tits when she jumped!

"Gah! I couldn't hear you- hey! Get down from there! That is cheating!"

"Haha~ nu-uh. You never said anything about climbing being off limits!"

Tethys pouted. "I am already at a disadvantage because I can't run as fast as you because my boobs flop all over the damn place. Did you hear them cheering up there a few minutes ago, though? Wonder what that was."

Thalassa shrugged. "Caught a real big fish for dinner? Or maybe some new sort of sea creature- we are far enough out by now that we could run into anything out here. Been on the water long enough by now that it won't take much to amuse the crew."

They both hear Mirovia shout 'be careful you moron' from the deck immediately above them, and then Thal seen a brown object fly at her from above before blacking out. She woke about ten minutes later to the warmth of the sun on the deck, with the captain crouched over her and a very worried Tethys nearby.

Thalassa got up, rubbing her head and feeling a slight welt where she was hit. "What... happened?"

Mirovia sighed. "One of the fisher clods found a relic and in the same breath lost the bloody thing. Fished up an ancient glass bottle afloat on the sea and got excited thinking he had found a hint that land was near. I know the old legends of a mermaid's kiss though, and how it can turn a woman into a mermaid too- sealed often in glass bottles. I told him to be damn careful with it and we could store the relic for an emergency and no sooner than he agrees to keep it safe it slips from his hands... it fit through the grate and clocked you square in the head. Fell far enough that the bottle exploded on impact so... that's gone now."

Tethyst nodded slowly. "Well... doesn't that mean there is land near though? Because of gravity, two solid objects will be drawn to each other, waves can carry a bottle off, but for every wave that isn't pulling it out, it will naturally float back in, so they can't drift far from land."

Mirovia stood up completely from her crouch. "Aye, but Jared in the crow's nest reports nothing of note. Which is why I immediately jumped to the possibility of it being a mermaid's kiss. Because it shouldn't be able to make it out to the deep seas, and yet it has."

Thalassa chuckled, still rubbing the bump on her head where the bottle exploded. "I never took you for the superstitious type Mirovia. Though I guess we are far enough away from the known world that anything is technically possible..."

Tethys looked even more worried and motioned downward with her finger. It is now that Thal notices that all the other ship hands are struggling to not stare at her while doing their work. Thalassa looks down slowly and then shrieks in surprise when she spots something fleshy between her legs, under her skirt! Unfortunately when she tries to scramble away from it- it follows her.

"What the f-" Thal grabs it and attempts to yank it out of her skirt but is immediately hit with the sensation of herself grabbing it! It is part of her own body.

Mirovia offered her a hand to get to her feet again. "Might want to get to yer room before you prod around too much- I ordered everyone to avert their eyes but their curiosity might become stronger than their fear of me."

"W-w-what-?"

"The start of a mermaids tail, of course! The bottle broke when it hit you- so you got its contents. Don't worry 'bout it none, won't do you any harm. Tis a blessing of the seas!"

Tethys helped Thalassa scurry down to her quarters at the rear of the ship's hull- the fewer number of men's quarters are toward the nose of the ship on the opposite side. As soon as she was inside her bedroom Thal whipped down her skirt- her panties are shoved down in the back, wedged against the bottom of the fleshy tail. The tail had no definition at all except for two long and little nubs at the very end... likely where a fin would grow eventually. It is about two feet long already to have been able to poke out of her skirt. It is very soft on the surface but solid within- she can tell it has a good bit of muscle in it. Without scales or fins though, it is hard to believe it is the tail of a mermaid.

"I am turning into a mythical fish?!"

Tethys looked sympathetic. "A beautiful woman... with a fish tail! Maybe."

She said the 'maybe' part quickly, which immediately raised Thal's eyebrow, and caused her to turn to look Tethys in the eyes. "What do you mean maybe? What else could happen?"

"W-well... maybe Mirovia knows better the legends, but... if we are talking mermaids in general... they are half woman up top and half sea creature below. Not necessarily a fish. Whale, octopus, eel, jellyfish, crab... b-but there are so many fish in the sea! Surely fish outnumber everything else, so the odds of it being a half fish is a lot higher than anything else!"

Thal lowered her brows and wiggled her plump proto-tail. "Well, at least we can scratch crab off the list."

Tethys was about to mention that hermit crabs have very big tails, but decided it was better to just leave that unsaid. She snuck up on Thal standing there, because she was too busy examining and flexing her tail around. Tethys put her hands on her shoulder and stole a kiss when Thal turned to look!

"Your bottom half could turn into the grimmest creature in the sea and you'd still be more beautiful than anyone else aboard the ship."

Thal pressed her forehead into Tethys'. "I knew you'd say something like that. I am less concerned about my looks and more concerned about the fact I won't have legs anymore, and also that my body is changing without my consent or control..."

Tethys still held her by the shoulders and twirled her around, inching her toward the bed now. "We make due, if you can't walk, we can get Rheic to carry you, haha. Or just build a house with a moonpool!"

Tethys forced her back gently into the foot of the bed, forcing Thalassa to plop down onto it and then Tethys immediately crawled overtop of her on all fours. On all fours- Tethys' soft wobbly melons pulled her shirt out far enough that it brushed Thal's nipples through her shirt. Tethys kissed her twice more in succession before sitting up on her knees and untying her top to let her heavy assets flop into the open- clapping together as the jiggled into a resting position. She then dropped to all fours and squirmed her own bottom off- Thal of course was already bottomless from examining her tail. Tethys rubbed her own honey pot as she shuffled her position- putting her knees between Thal's and further down, while she bent over and gently kissed Thal's little clit, making it pulse in reply.

Thalassa squirmed a bit from an odd tension around her hips and especially lower back, and the muscles back there seemed to flex entirely on their own, and draw downward? Tethys seen the flesh of Thal's tail sliding further down the bed... it is growing longer! Tethys put a hand on the tail while still kissing and licking Thalassa's pussy, and she could feel the muscles swelling up and surging downward through the skin, twisting and coiling into the proper structure. It seemed to gain another foot before slowing to a stop. Since the change paused again, Tethys look that as the queue to pull herself forward, keeping her lower body mostly straight to press their pubic mounds together till their hard clits aligned, and then started grinding slowly together, flicking Thalassa's clit with her own! Because Tethys is much shorter, her boobs pooled in Thal's groin in this position- Tethys' head was only as high up as her lower ribs. But because she is looking up Thal's body to see her face, she noticed right away another change!

"Thal! Your tits!"

Thal was breathless from overstimulation between the tribbing and her changes at the same time, so she had no breath to speak with and only nodded weakly. It felt like an a low-amp electrical surge in her chest up through her breasts and collecting at the nipples which were immediately forced to full erection. The wave of tingling kept coming, and is shadowed immediately by a tightness and a growing heat. Her little breasts started to swell up under her shirt, getting plump and round, then started to becoming shiny and blush pink from internal pressure. By the time Tethys swept a hand up to brush the shirt up over the breasts to expose them, they had started to actually enlarge rather than simply fill out.

They started as bubbles and formed into hills. The areola became quite bumpy as the skin there tightened, but then something odd happened... they started to change color- which isn't too unusual on its own, except that they became lighter, not darker. When lactating nipples naturally darken, so they DO change color, but Thal's are becoming more pale. They started a red-brown and lost the rosen hue pigmentation to simply be a soft brown, but then continued to lighten to a powder brown, bizarrely making her nipples lighter color than her tanned skin currently is. And then they lightened even more, turning to more of a yellow- her nipples and areola turned to matte gold. Beads of sweat formed around her chest, and traced the curvature of her swelling breasts- the growth is creating a lot of heat, but unlike her tail; her breasts are mostly fat, which insulates the heat. Tethys ground their pussies together while she watched in awe as the breasts rounded out, and the sweat gathered into a small trail between the breasts and traced a shiny path down to her belly button where it pooled for now. Thalassa was still utterly breathless, and watched while panting as her breasts eclipsed more of her view of Tethys at this angle. Her breasts went from handfuls, then armfuls, then entire shirtfuls. They looked as big as Tethys' tits, except much more round! Because they were grown all at once by the magic, the muscle structure of the breasts and the skin tension were enhanced along with the fat mass, creating breasts almost the size of K cups, but with the shape and bounce of breasts that were only Cs. Once the changes once again tapered off, the skin tension of the breasts relaxed, and she started to sweat less. The skin relaxed so it was no longer pulled shiny and the breasts naturally divided themselves, half-covering her arms and they plopped to the side, so her chest still had a flat valley in the middle.

Tethys noticed have rapidly Thal's pussy is quivering and knew this micro orgasm was the verge of the greater, and pressed herself tightly against her. Their soft, plush, rubbery labia squishing together while the turgid, erect clits ground together in complete contrast. Neither noticed but as the orgasm hit, fat veins bulged at the base of Thal's clit. Their juiced mixed as their lower bodies shivered and quaked in hot, shared orgasm. Tethys almost collapsed on top of her right after, but mustered the strength to drag herself further up, squishing their breasts together and then collapsed! Of course- there is not enough room for two sets of breasts that big between their bodies- even squished as much as possible they are too big. So the result is they became squished together and then shoved out to the sides a ways. Tethys' breasts are much softer than Thal's, so they can conform to pretty much any shape big enough to fit them. Both women smiled as they caught each other- both reached up at the same time to grab into the flesh of the others' breasts bulging out their sides. They both went to sleep in Thal's bed, even though it was only the afternoon still.

Thalassa woke up to find Tethys gone, and in her place a peach on the night table- Tethys is one of the arborium's keepers, so she likely had to go tend the plants and didn't want to disturb Thal. Thal's job aboard the Baltica is as a shipwright. She repairs the ship of any wear and tear; so some days she has too much work and some days she has absolutely none. It isn't like there are any rocks to hit in the middle of nowhere, so all she has to do is general maintenance here and there. The worst part of her job is diving beside the ship when the sails are down and hacking the barnacles off the side of the hull trying to eat it. That is why she is so fit, with such a tight stomach- lots of swimming, and swimming is a full body exercise.

She sat up on the side of her bed and almost fell off it as the new weight of her huge breasts hit her for the first time. When she got up she nearly fell over again, noticing only now just how long her tail has become. It seems to have gained another foot in her sleep! It is to the floor when fully standing! Suddenly her modest cabin seems a bit more claustrophobic. It causes her to struggle a bit- especially her breasts being able to reach things before she can. When trying to brush her teeth, her boobs squish against the cold counter and partially into the sink, getting her shirt damp if the sink has been used recently. She does not have her own bathroom of course- most of the ship is dedicated to water and food. The men have one bathroom at the front, the women have one in the back- that is it. Someone needed to use the bathroom right after her, and when she opened the door the other woman almost stumbled back onto her butt in shock of the huge tits that popped out of the door. Thal's breasts actually look bigger than Tethys' when standing because they are more pert, and stay higher on her chest, which also makes them project further out, even though their mass is actually slightly less. Her shirt was also holding them still higher than that. The shirt used to fit fine, covering her torso and upper arms, but now it covers her breasts and upper arms- that is it. Her breasts are packed into her shirt so tightly that the shirt doesn't actually touch her body at all other than in the very back- so her midriff is entirely exposed and if you are shorter than her; you will be able to see the underside of her boobs, because there isn't enough fabric to wrap all the way around them.

Thalassa blushed and hurried away before the stunned woman could stutter any comments. It is night now- so it feels odd being well rested and just waking up when the sky is already black. Tethys might even have gone to sleep in her own room given how late it is, but probably not. As soon as you exit the crew cabin area you enter the giant storage hull, which smells faintly of dried reserves and a bit musty from all the wooden crates, ropes, tools and such stowed away. It is a bit intimidating to walk around in because of how many giant crates and barrels are stacked around, but they weigh so much that the ship would need to turn sideways for them to even budge- and they are all tied in place besides. Thalassa pauses and looks at her tail, lifting it a bit. Did it drag a little on the floor when she left her room? When the other changes hit it was a fast buildup and then the changes hit when the feeling reached a head, and surged into her body, then when it tapered off the changes stopped. If a change was a slow trickle though- the feeling might be too subtle for her to pick up on. She certainly does not look like a mermaid at the moment, so clearly there are plenty of changes to come. Normally she would go check if anyone is playing any games in the mess hall, but in her current state Thal knows she would just get gawked at- by men and women alike.

She walked through the storage area slowly since she had no actual destination in mind, but by the time she got to the end of the giant area her hands felt odd. It felt like someone squishing the ends of her finger inward and tugging gently on it sort of. Thalassa looked down in time to see her left ring finger's fingernail start to darken at the base, and then the nail compressed becoming more narrow, but then the darkness spread up through it as the material of the nail also thickened! Then the same happened to her index and pinky finger on the right hand, then her left thumb- it was happening to all of them eventually- by the time the first nail finished changing the last was starting. They all became small black claws! That made her furrow her brows. Mermaids are fish from the hip down... from the hip up they are human- so why would her hands change at all? Is she actually changing into a mermaid? Does anyone actually know for sure?? Now she continued onward with a bit more speed; she wanted to find Captain Mirovia to ask her about these changes. She seemed to be the only one who was familiar with the legends of the mermaid's kiss.

The next section is even larger than the last- the Arborium. She spotted Tethys on a ladder, pruning some dead growth off one of the fruit trees, but deliberately avoided going past to let her work in peace. The air was immediately fresh walking into this area of the ship, fresh, cool, and almost sweet with earthen scents. Overhead the deck was mostly just iron grates so you can see some of the starlight of the night from down here, and can tell where the moon is by where the shadows fall. It is almost hazardously dark at night down here though, because the plants hate the presence of torch or lantern flame, so artificial lighting is very minimal in this area. Once on deck there was plenty of lantern light and moonlight illuminating things, and so workers she passed paused to look at her. They were trying to be subtle about it but... yea. They aren't good at it. Everyone was expecting a tail- no one was expecting her tits to go from little mounds of chub to obese micro-planets. She felt a very subtle tingling in her tail- the feeling is actually her own muscles all very slowly tensing up in tandem, in anticipation of changes on the way. This was the build up to another burst of change, which made her search for the captain all the more hurried.

Rheic spotted her looking around hastily and took the change to run over to her. "Hey! How are you holding up? Are you okay? What..." His brain went dead for a moment, staring directly at her breasts. "What does it feel like?"

"Ah... Rheic, do you know where Mirovia is? I need to ask her something."

He shook his head. "She is at the nose of the ship scolding some dumb fuck who thought it would be funny to joke about mutiny. Well, Frank didn't think it was a joke and went straight to the captain with it."

"D-damnit... I can feel more changes coming! Everyone is going to see meee..."

Her face turned bright red. Rheic stepped to the side, though still facing her, then took her shoulders and went in for a kiss! What the- at a time like this?! Then Thalassa realized his body is blocking the line of sight of the workers at the sides of the deck. Rheic is shielding her. They deliberately avert their eyes from them kissing.

His lips over hers also helps muffle her unintentional moans as her tail now swells even larger! The base is becoming so thick that it is actually removing the inner curvature of her butt cheeks to make room, which shoves her anus forward a little bit. It already reaches the ground when fully standing, so the added length now squirms along the ground- bunching up at first and then wobbling loose. This time its size is not the only thing to change- the two little nubs now stretch out further as well at its end! When the fin segment on either side grew out they at first were shaped vaguely like knife blades. Once they became larger than a human hand, the shape started to become rounder, taking on more of a leaf shape. Rheic could not hold a kiss for that long, so he broke off and looked down at the tail growing while it was still happening. Thalassa could hold her breath a hell of a lot longer than he could, since her job requires her head under water for a good time. Usually shipwrights work in dry-docks, but they don't have that luxury in the middle of the ocean.

"What does it feel like? Like, all tingly and weird? Can you feel where the magic is coming from?"

Thal lowered her brows. "I can't feel the magic at all. All the feelings a-ah~...a-are coming from my body i-itself. The muscles stiffen and swell up, then move down and relax, over and o-ohh...ver." She flipped the end of her tail. "Oh- that is new."

They both looked at her fin, now quite large, and the upper edge where it is the thinnest now connected all the way across, uniting the two sections. The furthest edge up was thick and meaty. By the time the growth stopped this time, her tail had at least two feet of length just resting on the ground! Thalassa sighed, trying to compose her thoughts again and looked up at the starry sky above. If you look down at the rippling reflection of the moon, it looks like the ship is going so fast. But then you look at the sky and the stars barely move at all.

"Oooh, I gotta get out of here and wait for the captain to be done. Maybe I should just go back to my cabin."

"Here, let's go back to my cabin!"

"Why yours?"

"Men's cabins are at the front- closer to where the captain is right now. I can carry you there so people shouldn't gawk."

Thal grunt in mild frustration but didn't raise any complains, so Rheic scooped her up off her feet. They both squirmed a bit awkwardly so she could lift her tail up and wrap it around his arm once to make sure it isn't dragging on the ground to trip him. Thalassa knew where this was going, but her situation made her more deprived of alternatives than she would normally be. Fine, you win this time romeo.

To get to the men's cabins they pass through the water filtration plant, which is rather loud when you are walking through the middle of it. Beyond that is the weapon storage area- which hopefully they never actually need to use. The Baltica is armed with some very powerful cannons- though not many of them. Another man was coming out of his cabin and looked like he was going to faint for a moment when he seen Thalassa in Rheic's arms-or more specifically her giant tits- but after a few seconds; quickly scrambled back to what he was already doing out of fear of Rheic punching his teeth out. Once in his room, he let her down on the foot of the bed and locked the door behind him.

Thal squirmed all her limbs up onto the bed and turned to the side so she could lift her tail up and look at it closer. The tail fin sort of resembled a dolphin tail, but it was oddly thin at the very edge, so it seems like this is still not its final form. The way her tail worked right now was also more serpentine than piscine. It is relatively thin and has a lot of flexibility to it. She shivered, but not from cold- from a warmth building up on the surface, telling her another wave of changes was about to start.

"Ooh, what is it this time?"

"Changing again?"

"Yea, I think on my back?"

Obviously she cannot look at her own back, so she twisted around and pulled her shirt up in the back to see if Rheic could see what was happening. Her skin seemed to become pale and bubble up a bit in the very middle of her back. Then another shallow bump, then another and another! At first it almost looked like her skin was shedding or something, because it was getting more pale. It was not turning white though- like her areola the skin was turning golden. The growth started at two points- her upper middle back, and at the very start of her tail at her lower back. The growth of malformed skin spread faster up and down than it did outward to the sides, but it did eventually spread out too. Once it spread far enough from the point of origin the first bumps hardened even more, and the golden coloration deepened before the bump seemed to pop off partially! The surface became smooth to the point of giving the golden coloration a metallic sheen.

"A... rash?"

"The transformation is giving me a skin condition?!"

"Wait no- scales!"

Her heart jumped at that. "W-why?!"

"Because mermaids... have scales?"

"Not ABOVE the hip they don't!"

"...oh. Yea, I guess that is odd."

Thalassa groaned and squirmed quite a lot- flinching and scrunching up her back from the sensation of her skin almost literally crawling. The sections hardened into scales, dividing from her except at the root once it absorbed enough keratin to be a proper scale, and then a second wave of changes grew scales between those ones- so that they are all half-eclipsed by one another. The scales are shaped like rounded triangles; or tiny heater shields. The single bottom point is the one that hangs furthest from her, but is not sharp enough to make her hide abrasive. When the scale growth started to wrap around the base of her tail, Thal nearly jumped off the bed from the sensation reaching more tender skin- and encroaching on her privates! Rheic had to back up a bit, because her tail was thrashing around and nearly slapped him several times by accident. The scales spread to her shoulders and started to wrap around but then stopped. They barely made it onto her neck in the back only. On her lower torso they stopped at her sides. Her tail however became almost entirely wrapped in the scales except for the body of her fin, and a long triangle of flesh trailing from her crotch. Even when the change stopped Rheic kept his distance, and let her explore first, forcing himself to keep his mouth shut. Thal hooked a claw under the scales and flicked them to see how they attached to her- the flat top of the rounded triangle shape is where it grew from her actual flesh. Good thing she isn't half shark. Shark's technically don't have scales- they are mini teeth. A shark is 100% covered in teeth. When she brushes the scales downward they are so smooth it almost feels like she is slimy or wet even though she is completely dry. They are almost all gold- except for the underside of her tail. Extending from the naked patch at the very base, the underside of her tail actually has silver scales, not gold. At regular intervals, the silver scales advance a bit further up in the shape of small stripes. But again the changes are too far up- her entire backside is covered... they shouldn't go any higher than her hips. Of course that is assuming she is half fish, which she may not be.

"Great... still no idea what I am turning into or where it will stop. I shouldn't change above the hips, but I am."

Rheic gave her a sympathetic smile and stepped forward again. "Hey, it will be okay, you still look beautiful-"

Thal rolled her eyes. "Aaalright. Tethys already used those lines. This is where you move in and make out to show me you don't mind the changes?"

"Ah....w-well..." He furrowed his brow for a moment. "Wait, Tethys...?"

Thal's face immediately turned bright red. "S-shut up! Don't pry!"

"Well, it is true anyway, you do still look beautiful, so what am I supposed to do, lie and make you feel bad while doing it?"

Thal shook her tits back and forth- her shirt contained them so tightly they merely bounced from side to side. "Of course, I have these, so how could a man resist right?"

Rheic sighed, putting his hands on his hips. "Well that is a little unfair. Obviously a trap- if I say they aren't hot I am a liar, and if I agree it makes me seem like a horny ape."

"Nngh. Sorry. I am on edge because of all this, y'know? I am freaked out changing into some unknown creature and there is nothing I can do about it. I know what you are doing getting me down here anyway. The kiss, carrying me, taking me to your cabin instead of mine."

"I-I was helping you hide, and figured you would rather be with someone you know than alone in your cabin with nothing to do?"

Thal chuckled. "Right, but there are any number of ways you could have helped." She held out her clawed hands to take. "Look, I didn't say no. Just don't underestimate me Rheic- that is how you lost me last time."

He locked his fingers with hers and pushed her back, pinning her clawed hands to the bed as he got up onto her. While contained in her shirt- her tits are so large they actually press up against his chest when he is on all fours, even though she is laying on her back. He let go of her hands to gingerly take the edges of her shirt and pull it off, but it's so tight that her breasts move with the shirt. He has to shimmy it to pull only one side out first- once one boob is out the other is held loosely enough that he can pull the shirt off normally. Once outside of the constraints of fabric they no longer fill the gap between their bodies, and slosh to the sides, partially covering her arms, though they are pert enough that they cannot completely slide off her chest. This is the first time he has seen them bare at this side, and also her now golden nipples.

She blushed and looked a bit bashful. "G-go on. I haven't had that much time between all my changes to explore them much myself. I never imagined having a rack that matched Tethys'. If I had gotten them under a different context I would probably have been locked in my room fondling them for three days straight."

He grabbed her breasts but she was quick to tell him to go harder. Rheic leaned forward putting more of his weight to his hands as they sunk into the soft titty flesh. If he did this to Tethys his hands might vanish entirely into her flesh- but Thalassa's breasts are rubbery enough that they refuse to lose their form completely even under that might weight. The flesh billows up forming individual hills between his fingers and bulges out the sides; her skin becoming shiny as its pulled smoother by tension. Thal surprised him and laughed out loud when she brought her tail up and slapped his ass with her tail fin, louder than she intended to. He smirked and sat up straight to pull his shirt off and she hushed up once his muscles were on display. Rheic isn't a particularly large man, but he is built like a fortress. His pectoral muscles are large enough to probably fill a C cup. She can wedge an entire finger between his abdominal muscles. Hoisting the anchor and pulling on the ropes of the vast mast of the ship are not easy jobs, you can't do that if you aren't strong already. Even hoisting the fishing nets is heavy work because of just how much net there is, and the sheer number of things they can potentially catch. She traces the veins leading down to his crotch as he undoes his jeans to slip them off. He is pretty damn hairy down there, but since he is also blond it doesn't look like as much of a jungle as it actually is.

Rheic's dick is pretty big too, which she remembers well. Not especially large but pretty damn girthy for how long it is. He thrust in and balanced his hands on her breasts as he rode her. Thal closed her eyes and tossed her head back to enjoy the ride, her long hair fanned out across the bed around her, radiating out from her head like rays from the sun. The under layer of her hair is brown rather than the gold the rest of it is, because the sun cannot bleach those hairs. Rheic tugged down on her breasts when he thrust in, using them sort of like handles, and Thal had no complaints- it feels great to have them kneaded like bakers dough. Her pussy was immediately wet, but after a minute of thrusting into her, Rheic noticed something poking back. He looked at her pussy and noticed her clit is much larger than he remembered it being- so big that it pokes his crotch when he thrusts in! Every time he thrust in her vaginal walls contracted from the pleasure, hugging his dick, but also her clit throbbed and swelled larger! He watched it mesmerized as each thrust seemed to pump it a little larger. He was not sure if Thal already knew about it, and did not want to call attention to it at risk of ruining the moment- her eyes are closed right now so she is unaware she is changing. The pleasure of the sex is overwhelming the sensations of the change. The clit started to bend up against Rheic's crotch, parting the forest of his pubes. It looked like a chubby finger at this point! But because the angle changed; Rheic now noticed that the base of the clit had expanded as well, to consume the urethra, which means she has nowhere to pee from at the moment. The very base of the clit was pretty wide, and covered in fat veins as well. When he thrust in, the clit grinds against his body, making her shiver in pleasure every single time... but also, makes her clit still larger. It is stiff so once it gets big enough, it starts to feel like her clit is trying to shove him off- pushing against his crotch and bent at an angle it was too turgid to hold.

He reluctantly slowed down. "Uhhh... Thal?"

"Hmmmm?"

"Do you... know about this?"

She opened her eyes and immediately pulled off his dick and scrambled back, almost falling off the bed as if she could somehow run from her newest mutation. She very gently touched it, like it were some sort of alien latched onto her. Thal immediately moaned and her pussy clenched at the touch. Unlike your standard penis- this is still grown from her clit, which is generally a bit too sensitive to be touched directly like that. In its growth some of the nerves have been spaced out however, automatically adjusting the sensitivity to be a bit more manageable. She nudged it with a fingertip again and rubbed it up and down for a moment, moaning again. It clenched and throbbed quicker, and then in a surge it seemed to bulge at the base upward! When the girth increase reached the end, there was a quiet *smeck* sound as a hold opened on the tip of it and immediately burbled out some precum! Her urethra has re-connected through it- her clit is now a penis! A mermaid is always female from the hip up... but there are no rules dictating she is female from the hip down. The random sea creature she got paired with happened to be male. The womb and ovaries however are ABOVE the hip slightly, which means they cannot be removed, so Thal still has a pussy, just... a dick instead of a clit.

"Well... that is... awkward."

"Uh... do you... want to try it?"

She blushed immediately. "Really? You aren't turned off?"

"Hell no, it's still part of you, and you're still a woman. Shits hot as fuck."

She slowly scoot her way across the bed to him and pushed Rheic down this time. She aligned her new phallus with his- it is already almost the same size, though hers doesn't seem to have any visible glans, it is just a tapered pillar.

"Looks like a dork."

"How can a dick look nerdy?"

She flicked his forehead. "A dork is a whale penis, dumbass."

She rubbed the two shafts together, arching her spine back and unintentionally also arching her tail up behind her from the sensation. Both shafts slick with their shared fluids, feeling the throbbing pulses from the other in each. Her pussy was still drooling juices and warming his balls below. After only a few seconds he noticed she is now longer than he is- it is still growing! It grows in small pulses- the same that send her pleasure from the increasing tension. After a minute she pulled back and sat on her butt a moment, looking at him as if to ask if it was okay still and Rheic nodded to her to go ahead. So she slid her new penis into him slowly- though there was no trouble going in; not only is it well lubed already, but being tapered and smooth there isn't anything to catch on. Although the veins that lived in just the base of it were starting to bulge more prominently further up the shaft slowly. She got down onto all fours so her tits spread out on the middle of his body for him to grab and play with while she thrust into him. His own dick bobbed with each thrust, spitting more and more pre in its own pleasure, but she was moaning more than him still. The pre filled the crevice of his belly button and his abs and started to overflow off his sides. Thalassa has obviously never known what penetrating someone else was like, and her new sensitive pink pillar was throbbing like nuts. Her pussy fluttered in micro-orgasms. Her thrusts were stuttered because of the muscle spasms her repeated small orgasms were giving her. But Rheic knew it was something else too- her shaft was throbbing unusually hard. Like; it was growing in small spurts, not just bucking in contraction. With every thrust she got it a bit deeper, and deeper still. Bigger and bigger she grew, already bigger than he is before she even put it in! As hot as it is, and great as it felt- Rheic isn't sure how he feels knowing a woman has a larger penis than he does. And probably starting to get bigger than any normal man has. The more aggressive she thrust into him, the further up and down his body her tits rolled their soft flesh. Rheic was starting to clench his groin muscles- deliberately trying to stop himself from cumming at this point, because he at least wanted to be able to last longer than her.

Her cock became so massive his prostate was being squished regardless of how it was angled- the base of her shaft is so thick that it cannot avoid hitting his prostate. You don't need aim if you just hit everything at once. It was getting so long he could actually feel it hit a fold in his colon and bend around the curvature to dig even deeper into his body! It was starting to feel like he is being skewered! Is this what a hand puppet feels with someone's arm shoved up in them? Even through his tight abs you can easily see a huge bulge shoving up into him from within. Thalassa was starting to moan and gasp so frequently from pleasure overload that she was practically hyperventilating. She is shuddering from the orgasmic surges so violently she can barely hold herself up at all! The soft flesh of her pubic mound was starting to get bunched up a bit at the base, because the base of her cock is so wide its shoving everything else out of the way to make room! Rheic starts to unintentionally gasp as well- she is shoving so deep into him now that she is knocking the air out of him! Her dick must be monumentally enormous by now! It is STILL growing! She can't even put it all in anymore! More and more of the neon pink base is exposed outside of his butt even when she thrusts in because there isn't any room left! The veins alone at the base are almost as thick as her pinky finger, and look like a pale violet in contrast to the neon pink. So much shaft started to expose itself that she almost bent it on accident when thrusting in.

She bowed down, causing her boobs to squish forward and support her chin like a mobile pillow. The pleasure is peaking too high for her to even thrust properly, but the rapid throbs from her enormous phallus do not slow down in the least- she is beyond the point of no return, even if she did absolutely nothing the climax was already on its way, no refunds. Which was good for Rheic, because he also could not hold it in any more, for as hard as he was trying to. Rheic ended up shooting first, and his hot load coating the underside of her breasts set Thal the rest of the way and she shrieked in pleasure before erupting into him! He actually felt her shooting a full second before anything even came out- her cock is so long her cum has travel time. She has no balls, so her cum is devoid of sperm, but still white so she does have seminal vesicles, and a prostate. When she started to pull out it was like watching clows emerge from a clown car- both of them watching to see just how much of it is in there. At the base it is as thick as her arm is! Inch after inch she pulled out of him, finally getting it all out and flopped it down on his crotch. Or, starting from his crotch. Her dick is long enough to cover his entire torso up to his collar bone even as it is softening already. Looking at its soft mass slowly retracting beside his own dick is like a size comparison between a garter snake and a python. Her dick is so monstrously huge in comparison it looks like it could EAT his penis. The mass seemed to oddly vanish into her, inch by inch. The groaned as it happened, because it is retracting into an internal sheath that runs parallel to her pussy- so her vaginal passage is sort of collapsing in on itself to make room for all the cock. Once it was all packed away, it still stuck out as a chubby soft cone of flesh, which means she cannot wear panties or it will rub on the fabric and wake the beast. Rheic managed to sneak her into the men's shower and they got cleaned up together before returning to his room and she slept with him the night. Thalassa dread the raised eyebrows if anyone spots her leaving his room tomorrow morning, but, at least one other guy seen her coming last night already so the cat was already out of the bag technically. Thal isn't sure she would say they are back together just yet... she considered tonight his first re-examination since they split.

The next day Thalassa once again woke up by herself in bed, except this time it was someone else's bed, and he didn't leave her a snack. When she went to bed out of bed her heart skipped a beat when it took a bit for her legs to tingle their way fully awake. Her tail changed again while she was sleeping! It is not any longer but it is thicker- which is putting pressure on her legs at the base because they are fighting for room on her hips, which is causing her legs to have poor circulation. On top of that, there is what looks like a small, rigid dorsal fin on the back of the tail two feet down from the base, and then two feet down from that on the sides are two more fins that are more like loose flaps of skin at the moment- ruffled for being broader than their own base. The body of the tail fin is also larger now, and thinner, causing it to fan out further too, and just starting to ripple a bit. She pat herself over trying to find any other changes before lingering on her breasts, moaning softly as she squished her fingers into the fat orbs. When her nipple popped erect between her fingers though- she immediately pulled her hands off and noticed the missing change! There is a small membrane of skin between all her fingers! Her hands are becoming webbed! That's it! She NEEDS to see the captain.

Thalassa quickly scrambled to get dressed- Rheic folded her clothes neatly and left them on a chair in the corner. She had to forgo panties- Rheic could keep those as a souvenir. Thanks to how loose a skirt is, she is still able to wear one in spite of all her mutations. Her shirt still fit, but it was quite a struggle to stuff her boobs into it. It held them so high and far out that she could not see the floor almost five feet in front of herself, because her own tits blocked the view. The ladder to get to the main deck from the hull was also extremely difficult to use, because her breasts completely fill the gap between her and the ladder, so her nipples squish over every rung. Once on deck it did not take her long to find the captain at least- Mirovia is leaned against the mast with her arms crossed and eyes closed. Was probably up late into the night knocking sense into her crew.

"Captain!"

"Aye?" Mirovia opened only one eye, but then quickly the other when she seen Thal's new shape.

"You are the only one who is familiar with the legends... are you SURE I am turning into a mermaid?! I have scales, and claws and... I am growing webbed hands! Mermaids are supposed to be human from the hip up!"

"Mostly, aye. There are rarer species of mermaids though, that adopt properties above too. Yer top half should always be mostly human, no matter what. But not necessarily entirely human."

"I don't suppose there is a way to... reverse this 'blessing of the sea' y'know, if we needed to? Or I turn into some deep sea nightmare?"

"None anyone has ever recorded, no. Not to say it doesn't exist, but we certainly don't have a way. Besides, you look fine so far." She chuckled and pat her own chest. "It has given ya a bit of extra padding to boot!"

"Aha... yea. Fun, not exactly practical, so a little weird it would be part of the change, but I am not complaining."

"Nonsense! Breasts are buoyant, they will help ya float in the sea! And-" She pulled her jacket collar down to reveal several scars on her right breast. "-they're good for keeping stab wounds off yer more vital organs."

"...ouch. That must have hurt like a bitch."

She shrugged. "Not as much as me leg."

Thalassa nodded, glancing down at the captains legs. The captain wore a skirt that was longer on one side than the other- her thigh is exposed on the right side but the skirt covers to her shin on the left.

"You walk with a limp in your left leg, what happened?"

"Just a real hell of a bar brawl when I was in me mid-twenties. Doctor basically told me it would be easier for them to just replace my shin than to try and glue together the remains of me old one. So, since they were making a new metal one anyway- I had them give me an upgrade."

She brought her leg up to expose the segmented metal kneecap amid the rest of her seemingly otherwise flesh and blood leg. The kneecap had a metal loop in the middle of it, oddly. Mirovia bopped her fist against the knee, releasing a spring-lock, then hooked her finger in the loop and pulled a small gold flintlock rifle from INSIDE of her left leg! Her shin bone was replaced with a holster, to hide her gun in! She turned it to show Thal the silver-inlaid name on the side of the barrel; 'Best Foot'.

Mirovia slid the gun back into her leg. "I always put me best foot forward." And that's why you don't fuck with the captain.

Suddenly the ship violently jerked, and Mirovia ordered them to drop the anchor quickly- so whatever they hit didn't shred the entire length of the hull! Jared is up in the crow's nest and didn't say a thing. Whatever they hit isn't visible above the surface of the water. Mirovia pat Thal on the shoulder and told her it was time to put her tail to use. The captain quickly summoned the rest of the shipwrights and sent them into the brine to see what happened. Luckily the object that hit them didn't rip a very big hole- it was still a good sized hole, and the object lanced far into the ship. Had someone been down on the engine level, they may have been skewered. They worked to pack the wound on the inside to keep the water out for now while Thalassa dove into the waters on the outside with two others to start actually mending it. First they needed to remove the object from the hull.

It was nothing any of them had expected. They assumed rocks, which it generally is. Instead what they hit was wood. They are skewered on the mast of a sunken ship! Thalassa thought her tail would immediately freeze in the ocean waters once she got low enough, but it actually felt perfectly fine. Her golden scales seem to negate heat transfer. This is the first time she actually tried to use her tail, and it is a bit awkward. The tail fin at the end is great at pushing water and propelling her forward- the problem is that it is a lot longer than it is thick, making it awkward to aim. To propel her forward the tail needs to face straight backwards when she paddles it, but she keeps trying to move it like a serpent would, which... doesn't work for swimming. She isn't a water snake. Though she is not happy about having webbed hands- they definitely help, and as she uses them she can feel the webbing pulling further out, down the length of her fingers to fully fill in the gaps. Removing a mast from the Baltica was easier than stone- they did not have to move the ship itself, they can just break the mast. Salt water prevents the bacteria that would normally decay the wood- so this ship could have sat here for any number of ages, so there is no telling how recent the wreck is. The fact that SOMEONE came here before them means there must be land... relatively close, right? Thalassa noticed another change she had been completely unaware of by accident- when she first seen what lanced them, she foolishly gasped in shock... while underwater. And she is fine. She can breathe underwater and above just the same, which REALLY helped her work. Unlike the others she did not require a diving bell or to dart back to the surface every two or three minutes. She can just stay under the surface till the job is done.

It also meant she could go deeper than any other person could, without immediately risking her life. She traced the mast down to the ship- though at that depth and with the Baltica overhead, there was not much light for her to see anything with. No wonder the mast lanced them instead of just snapping like a twig- the ship below them is absolutely enormous! It must be almost as big as the Baltica itself! They folks on the distant shore must have had the same idea, but something sent them to the bottom. The sails are long gone, so any flags it may have bore are also gone. It is covered in sand and some plants that have wedged into the cracks, and the hull of the ship is starting to come apart from the bottom up- coral formations are eating the rust from the metal bolts and bands holding her together, leaving just the wood itself. She heard someone calling for her to help up at the wound in Baltica though, so Thal returned to the surface before getting any ideas about rummaging for treasure on the sunken behemoth.

Thalassa is still very much unsure of her changes, but she must admit- that repair job was a hundred times faster and easier because of them. She can stay in the water indefinitely, and swim at least twice as fast as anyone else.

As the day went on however, her tail would pulse, and send tingles into her legs, taking strength away from them and making her stumble several times. Mermaids do not have legs... she had been hoping to somehow avoid losing them, but it feels like she is quickly running out of time. Before that though, while playing a game of cards in the mess hall to pass time later like she normally would- one of the women she was playing against was quick to point out her discolored skin! Thal quickly looked and seen the same process that she had gone through before- except now at her elbows, then her forearms. The scales spread to her hands and even fingers, growing down to their tips- but did not touch the inside of her hands or arms, only the outside. The scales also got extremely small the further down her hand they went- the scales around her claws are no larger than a small bead while the scales on her tail and back are about the size of a doubloon. The scales wrapped around the sides of her neck as well, but not the front. Worryingly; Thalassa also tensed up as she felt her skin shifting as the scales advanced onto her head as well! Her ears became pointed, and their backs covered in tiny scales, and the scales encroached on the sides of her face- moving the furthest forward on her forehead, but no further. Unlike her tail- where silver scales would be; she has human flesh still. That did not stop her golden scales from being slightly interrupted by silver stripes at regular intervals up her entire body. But again her changes slowed to a stop here. They come in waves, much like the tide.

Tethys spotted her as she was leaving and quickly stole her away to ask about what all had happened to her body since they last encountered each other. Tethys still had work to be done though, so after a bit of catching up they had to divide again. Rheic was working the nets again with the other men so he is busy to. Thal just wandered the deck, letting the sun warm her as she wandered aimlessly. The next change hit her rather suddenly, because it branched first from her bones, so the sensation of the change hit her before the usual pre-sensation. She scrunched up her back again and this time felt rapid growth right in the middle of her back, between her shoulder blades! Whatever it was is shoving against the back of her shirt, which is yanking the fabric into the front of her giant boobs so hard her nipples look like they are trying to rip holes in it. The object started to move down, and she unintentionally made it move. A new limb?! On her back?! She thought maybe dorsal fin, but... they are not mobile like that- what she is growing now has a notable joint in the middle of it. With a groan she reluctantly grabbed her shirt to pull it off, but when she did it snagged on the new growth! Ah crap- the limb is growing downward, so pulling the shirt up snags on it, she can't get it off, but its smothering the new growth.

Thalassa really didn't want to, but ran to the next nearest crew mate she could find, who was thankfully another woman- the majority are female. Because the shirt is so damn tight, the other woman suggested what Thal had feared- it needed to be cut off. The woman pulled out a knife meant to flay fish- but thankfully still clean and the moment the blade touched Thal's shirt the over-pressurized garment exploded in half, holding on by the sleeves only. Her giant breasts lunged forward from being released suddenly, then bounced off each other before clapping back together loudly. More alarmingly, the woman told her that the new growth looked like a giant plucked chicken wing! But... there is only one, dead-center in her back. It did not even grow a shoulder blade because of its position- its base is cupped by what is essentially two giant knuckle joints locked to her vertebrae on the reverse side. The mono-wing grew larger and flexed automatically without Thal doing anything. She had control over it, but it was also moving on its own, making it impossible to control while it was still growing in. When it stretched out, the skin on its back stretched outward more and more every time, pulling a membrane out further and further. In roughly twelve minutes the growth finished and Thal had what looked like a dragon's wing, but... just one.

"Sea dragon."

"H-huh?"

"It must be the dorsal fin of a sea dragon- that must be what your other half is."

Thalassa is unable to move it left or right at all, but it has two joints in the 'fin' and one in the base, so she has limited up-down movement, and can extend or retract it fully. The entire wing, including the membrane is covered in her golden scales.

Thalassa groaned, cupping her hands over her nipples to cover her breasts the best she could. "How the hell am I supposed to wear shirts now?!"

The woman laughed and shrugged. "I don't think you are. Most of the crew are women anyway, and if the men get caught ogling you for long the captain will put their eyes out."

They both looked up to Jared shouting from the crows nest. "I see another ship! She is on the horizon, west north west! Another bloody ship, but she is making a bee-line the opposite way!"

They both quickly looked in the direction he gave but seen absolutely nothing. "Uh, maybe you've been up there too long Jared?"

"I ain't stir crazy woman! I see it with me down darn eyes, she is a vast vessel at that! Maybe even bigger than Baltica! It is too far out for ye to see from the damn deck. We would never catch it, but I need to report this to the captain immediately!"

Jared scrambled down from the crows nest quickly and the two women just looked at each other and laughed. "A country of giants perhaps, and all their ships are massive!"

Thal nodded, though put a bit more thought into it. "Actually the shipwreck that skewered us earlier was very large too- I mean, large enough to stop Baltica in its tracks. Jared may have actually seen something, at least someone was here before at some point. Not going to lie, the prospect of finally making landfall is exciting as hell."

"Aye, but..." She pointed straight up into the sky. "We have not seen so much as a seabird. There is zero signs of land anywhere near us still. Not even an island, never mind a new world."

True enough- if they were remotely close to a landmass at the very least they would see birds at some point. The Baltica can stay stocked and chugging along for years to come, but as you can imagine the crew would like to find land again sooner than later. The seas have been calm for quite some time, and no one was looking forward to finding out how furious the waters become in a storm this far out.

Later that evening on her way back to her quarters, Thal was walking very slow. Her legs were half asleep and not waking up now. Her tail was pushing on them, trying to grow. She was biting her lip trying to will the changes to back off for a little bit longer. She got to the base of the ladder and was immediately spotted by Rheic, but also Tethys from the opposite side. They both called to her at the same moment! Thalassa wasn't even able to reply other than to cry out in surprise as her tail throbbed in size! Their calling to her broke her concentration and her willing the changes off failed.

Rheic rushed to her side and picked her up, seeing her legs became immediately shaky. "Don't worry, you can hang out in my room."

Tethys furrowed her brows. "Uuuh, she has her own room."

"W-well I just-"

"Nnngh, got my own room Rheic. Hurry. Tethys comes too."

"R-right..."

They all rushed back to Thal's quarters- though a bit cramped with all three of them in there at once. As soon as Rheic let her down on the bed she faced the head of the bed on all fours and arched her back from the feelings. Her tail started to grow thicker, swallowing up her glutes to erase the shape of her butt! Her leg and foot joints all made dull pops as they shifted rapidly and her legs started to shrink and deform. Her tail became so enormous at the base that her anus was swallowed up by it, so her anus is now on the base of the tail and facing forward. The gap of silver scales started to close in as well, forming a loose cover over her anus- so it is only visible when flexed open. What looked like steam at first started to pore from her mouth as she panted. Her breath is actually freezing in the air, or, more accurately the air is freezing in her breath. Sea dragons can breathe ice. She flexed open the new fin on her back, surprising both guests and accidentally almost swatting the lantern off the roof. The tail thickened down its entire length- though obviously still tapered off at the end. The rigid fin toward its base grew in size, but did not change its form at all. The looser skin flap fins further down grew immensely, only getting more frilly and long, but never any thicker. They are actually somewhat translucent- though just a bit. Because of how loose and ruffled they are, they resemble a massive billowing dress, and before this session of change are complete, they become long enough to cover the remaining length of her tail from either side! The primary tail fin at the end grew large and larger, taking on similar properties- becoming ruffled and thin, but only thin in regards to their overall size- they are at least twice as thick as the side fins, and retain the solid brackets on either side, so she has full control of their movement. The side fins she cannot really move other than to flick them out or in. The side fins are also growing from one of the narrow stripes- so they are fully silver, while the fin at the end is gold. The scales do not grow on the membrane of the fin themselves, so they are matte silver and gold; lacking the metallic sheen of her dragon scales.

Thalassa's crotch was pressed into the bed under her unintentionally as her legs continued to devolve, getting shorter and shorter. There was a cramped sort of feeling at their base still where they argued with her tail for room, creating an internal pressure with no way to vent. Her tail continued to get larger and larger at the base, swallowing the entire bottom of her hips! This means her pussy is swallowed by the tail as well, and now fully facing forward! Her pubic mound seemed to swell up with help from the tail, causing her penis tip to sink in a bit better and then a single large scale grew from what used to be her clitoral hood, and covered her sunken penis! The scales came in from the sides collapsing the former strip of exposed skin. Her pussy remained exposed even when they stopped, but that is because the changes sparked unintentional arousal. When aroused, the pubic mound and especially the pussy puff up- which naturally parts the scales. If she were completely unaroused, her pussy would be completely hidden. She felt a bizarre feeling and collapsed completely onto her underside from unwanted pleasure as her vaginal walls increased in muscle mass. Her pussy needs to be strong enough to clamp shut to the point of being water-tight, even at crushing depths. To her it almost felt like someone somehow grabbing the sides of her vagina from inside of her body and massaging the path all the way back to her womb!

Thal rolled onto her back, groaning loudly as the pressure kept building in her shrinking legs! They looked like nothing more than simply the thigh joint for the hip, sat on the sides of her tail, having been pushed out to either side to make room for the tail. Her toes curled from the feeling. Thal did not notice, but Tethys and Rheic noticed that it was weird, that her legs would devolve that much, but she still has toes. Suddenly the pressure let go, firing down through what little remained of her legs and through her toes- yanking them out with it! The bones in her toes clicked in rapid fire as they got longer and longer VERY quickly! The skin of her foot was yanked up with them, creating a webbing between them which grew in thickness as her feet themselves shrank and flattened, but her toes only grew. The enlarging toe bones became less flexible, locking the joints together partially- though they did still have a little movement. Thal gasped to catch her breath and looked bewildered through the valley of her parted bare breasts to see what happened. Her legs are not gone- they transformed into large flippers! Her individual toes remained inside the flipper as the frame for it, though you could not see them on the surface- the place the toenail used to be is still marked on the surface by a small black claw, like the ones on her fingers.

"My... legs..."

Tethys quickly piped up. "W-well, you have flippers though! That means you can still move on land, just... not as easily as before."

Thal sighed. "And how do I get to the deck and back? I can't climb a ladder with flippers."

Rheic raised his hand. "Fishing net. I can hoist you from the hull to the deck using spare net, you can just lay in it like a hammock and I get a workout lifting you."

"I guess... that puts me at the mercy of someone else though. If I don't have someone waiting at the top, I can't get out."

"Everybody needs someone else at some point, its fine."

The large plate at the top of her pussy lifted up as her penis emerged a bit from all the movement around her groin. Thal blushed and flicked it, trying to make it go back in, but then glanced at the bewildered look on Tethys' face. Oh right, Tethys didn't know about that- she sort of glossed over that change when catching her up earlier.

"O-oh, yea, uh...I kind of have a penis now."

Rheic nodded. "A big one."

Tethys looked at him immediately. "You've seen it?!"

Thal's blush renewed. "W-well... okay, I don't think you two have been properly introduced. Tethys... my ex-boyfriend Rheic. And Rheic; my CURRENT lover, Tethys."

Now Rheic blushed, looking a bit stunned, and not knowing what to say at all at that point. He had no idea Thalassa was seeing anyone- and also did not think it would be a woman, let alone the one with the largest rack on the ship. If women are on the table, he has three times as much competition on the ship than he thought.

Thal looked to Tethys, sitting up a bit toward the head of the bed now that her changes settled. "I uh..." She motioned to Rheic with her head.

Tethys nodded. "Slept with him last night? Yea, kinda picked up on that."

Thal pointed to Rheic. "Well not that I am saying you are back on my good side just yet, buster... but... since we are all stuck out at sea on this ship for who the hell knows how long- how about we take the more interesting option and choose 'both'. Threesome?"

They all went silent a moment looking at each other before Rheic spoke up. "Well, uh, I would be open t-"

"Yea, he agrees. It is sex, he is literally never going to turn that down, but what about you Tethys?"

She kept glancing at Rheic and away again, unable to make eye contact. "I... guess- as long as I am on the other side of the sandwich. Kind of on the spot here..."

Tethys is bisexual, but leans toward women. It wasn't the idea of the threesome that made her hesitate but more the fact that she only knows Rheic through Thalassa- they had never interacted with one another before, which makes her nervous about the prospect of immediately jumping to sex. Thal did not mean right away- this just seemed like the time to set the ground rules since she is being ping-ponged between two lovers, but her cock started to slide out a bit more at the thought of having two at once, which now put enough out of her to have a lazy arch.

Thal- still blushing- had to squirm a bit now to roll herself over onto her underside so she could try to use her arms and flippers to actually move around. Her flippers don't have enough mobility for them to do anything when she is on her back. That flipped her lazy cock out of view, but pressed it into the bed! Her flippers cannot lift her hip very far off any surfaces, and because her bed is soft and springy, it bulges up under her between where her limbs depress it- pushing the blankets into her exposed cock. Her body went rigid, hoping it might just go away on its own but enough slid out that the tip was once again visible to Tethys from under her!

Tethys motioned to it and inched the chair she is sitting on closer to the side of the bed. "Well, looks like that thing likes your proposition. I want to see it."

Thal looked at Rheic who was doing his best to look reserved and sighed. "Might as well, here..."

She turned herself completely around so her massive tail was bend against the wall at the head of the bed, and flopped off the side onto the floor taking up all the floor space on the left of the bed. She lay her body down the bed, so she is laying propped up with her elbows at the foot of the bed and twisted her lower body to the left, so her growing phallus faced Tethys- bouncing out once released from under her. Thal motioned Rheic to her enormous tits with her eyes and squirmed a bit to jiggle them in invitation.

Tethys had not been around a phallus of any sort in a long time, so she was not sure how to handle it- it also did not help that it was still coming out, and is already as big as any cock she had ever seen. She gently took it in her hand, softly bouncing it in her palms to test its weight, and still move of it slid out. She could see Thalassa's pussy clench every time more of the cock length emerged- its sheath runs along her vaginal walls, so when it moves in or out it strokes the entire length of her vagina. It is actually impossible to penetrate her pussy properly without letting the cock out first, because they compete for space, making her pussy far too tight with the cock inside for anything to fit. The flesh of her flippers thickens as the flipper compresses- the equivalent of her curling her toes now.

Tethys seen a glistening drop of pre build on the tip of the cock as it engorged to bigger and longer sizes. Before it could drip off she bobbed forward and licked it up- the cock slid out almost three inches in a strong throb from her tongue. She gently took it into her mouth, holding a bit more with one hand, and placing another hand a bit further down to try and steady all of the length as she sucked on the end. More and more cock kept coming, forcing her to space her hands out more and more on the shaft. Pale violet veins bulged along its surface as it started to actually fill up now, causing it to become stiff and support its own weight better. Tethys loved the salty taste of the slick pre on her tongue, and as her own arousal built she became braver, loosening her throat and trying to take in more cock. It is tapered, so in spite of its immense length- you can fit at least a little bit of it into just about anything.

Rheic on the other hand had dropped his drawers and started to thrust into the wall of cleavage at the foot of the bed! Thal playfully kissed the fat veins coalescing at his own groin when he thrust forward into her. Her torso was compressing the breasts into the bed just enough to hold them steady against the fabric, but still loose enough that every thrust sent them into a jiggling fit. Each boob was almost three times the size of her head, so there was more than enough cleavage for his dick to get completely lost in. He held her head gently with his hands, running his fingers through her long hair as he tit-fucked her. Rheic also looked over her shimmering silver and gold tail, thinking it looked pretty damn hot too. Not something he ever would have thought he would find attractive before- but it is. Thanks to the immense size of the tail- his girlfriend's body overall is large enough to fill half of the entire room just on its own, and that alone was kinda hot. That is a lot of woman.

Tethys was really pushing her limits trying to swallow as much cock as possible. She pulled up her own shirt and pulled down her pants, placing her feet up on the bed on either side of Thalassa's dick at its base. With one hand she fingered herself just under the length of the shaft, and leaned far back in the chair pushing it back onto only two legs so she could rest a length of dick through the valley of her own pendulous breasts before swallowing the rest into her mouth and filling her throat. You could easily see the bulge of penis in her throat as she bobbed on it and worked her other hand on as much shaft as she could cover.

Thal's cleavage started to shimmer with Rheic's precum, making her tits even smoother and shinier than they are by default. It also made the set slapping of his crotch against her tits all the louder and more obscene. Thalassa grinned as she felt his glans flaring tight, ready to bust a nut. She breathed out a stream of frozen air on his groin making him shiver, but also making his muscles contract suddenly which started him over the edge into an orgasm! Thal bounced on the bed so she could yank her elbows closer together, compressing her tits and trapping his dick in her cleavage so he could not pull back! Rheic burst several thick ropes of cum into her tight cleavage before popping out as he collapsed to the floor onto his knees to catch his breath.

Thalassa was getting close too- the fat veins in her cock throbbed in size trying to stuff more blood into the member than could be fit. The urethra swelled taught and bulged out on its underside as well, in anticipation. The penis is so far down Tethys' throat it feels like it is sliding between her lungs at this point on the way to her stomach. And she sort of loves that. It forces her neck to be straight and it practically skewering her, and she found that it oddly turns her on. Her head and throat is literally being held still, as commanded by a cock. Like she was a human condom, utterly stuffed with phallic meat. The urethra yanked wide and a ripple of stiffness fired up the shaft just before the wave of cum! It was good the cum erupted already halfway down Tethys' throat, otherwise she may have choked on the sheer volume each stream had. Tethys had to hold her breath, each stream fattened the shaft enough to completely seal her windpipe during the blast. Her stomach started to feel heavy from all the liquid weight by the time the orgasm ended. The shaft immediately became soft and slid out from lack of stability, but took a half minute before it actually started to slide back inside of Thal.

Thalassa still looked at her hungrily. "We aren't done yet~"

"H-huh?"

Tethys only brought herself to a minor orgasm- Thal wasn't going to let that go. Thalassa caught her off-guard bringing her fin under the chair and knocking Tethys off it, toward her on the bed. Thal caught her and lifted the short woman up, and getting into an upright sitting position herself with her legs off the side of the bed. She looked at their groins carefully, aligned the stiff little nub of Tethys' clit with the urethral opening on her now squishy, fat dick head still peeking out, and dropped her down onto her lap! The urethra on Thal's dick swallowed Tethys' clit and squished the soft flesh out against her pussy! Tethys let out several high pitched squeaks of pleasure, not ready to be hit by so much so fast. All Thal needed to do was rock her hip slightly to send electric pleasure jolts through Tethys like this. She hugged the smaller woman tightly and their huge breasts squished together, bulging out the sides. Their stiff nipples jousted with one another between the wall of flesh. Tethys noticed only a moment before Thal kissed her deeply- Thalassa's lips have turned glossy black, to match her claws.

Being kissed, tit-smushed, and having her clit literally devoured by a giant soft dick while their plump labia squish together like pillows of moist flesh completely overloaded Tethys. Thal rolled over, swapping positions to pin Tethys to the bed and that was it for the shorter woman. She bucked, squishing the plump soft tip of Thal's penis against her pussy and then her entire body shivered and trembled as her pussy squirt. The muscle spasms and pleasure were so strong they erased all other sensation and motor control from her body, completely incapacitating Tethys.

Tethys just lay on the bed panting with a stunned look on her face. Her extremely long black hair is disheveled and fanned across almost the entire bed under her. Thalassa climbed off with a grin, breaking the strands of juice connecting their vulva still. What used to be her clitoral hood now functions as the hinge on the large plate at the top of her pussy- and closes it over the exposed head of her penis to hide it away again. Her pussy will hide itself away as well- once her labia deflate a bit the scales will naturally close back together and hide her slit from view.

"Ahhh~!" Thal bowed her head, hovering a hand over it while the other held her up off the bed.

Tethys was still too dazed to react but Rheic stood up in attention. "What is it? More changes?"

"Yeh-aah! Y-yes." Her arm pulsed as well, causing her to look at it. "How muh-haa! How much am I going to chaaange?! When does it s-s-stop!"

She shrieked when the sensation actually spiked suddenly enough to inflict pain, and two horns erupted from over her temples! The horns seemed to grow fast and stop short, but then surge out again. Every surge of growth added a new layer to the horn, creating a slight ridge every so often, making the horns ribbed. They grew at an upward and back angle- growing out, arching inward, and then hooking back out slightly at the tips! Her horns are a sort of golden brown in color- or a dark sandy tone. The growth of bone out from her skull was a bizarre sensation and pretty good feeling, but the growth also forced the skin at the base to yank further open which created a sharp stringing feeling which was not nice. There was only a thin line of blood at the base of the horn and most ended up smearing off onto the horn itself as it slid out- the base quickly stretched the skin so far that blood could not escape, and then her continued changes simply re-routed the veins to not have a break in the first place. By the time they stopped, her horns are just shy of two feet long. Because of their angle, she can probably still lay on her back in bed without impaling the bed. They were not quite done yet though. As soon as the primary horns stopped growing a branch formed at the base that grew curled tightly around the base of the primary horns! The second set divided off the top of the first set, curled to the bottom, then formed a large loop back forward and stopped with either point sticking out from her face at the top of her cheeks and bottom of her eyes- they are just large enough that Thalassa can see the points in the corner of her own vision.

The color change of her lips also advanced into her mouth and inhabited her genitals now! The entire inside of her mouth turned grey-red, including her tongue, which also became a bit longer and pointed on the end. Her outer labia and the soft tissue between scales on her entire pubic mound turned to matte black, though her vagina itself remained neon pink. The hood under the plate scale also became black, but when the coloration touched her cock it was greatly diffused; the base of her cock became grey-pink, and became dappled after a foot and a half of shaft, transitioning back to its original pink at the latter half.

She hugged her own torso as if to somehow protect her limbs from the changes, but her arms made some alarming snapping sounds as the bones shifted. Her forearm started to spread out horizontally, which remaining just as thick vertically. This also forced her wrist and hand to become wider as well! Luckily the changes did not seem to go too far before stopping, but it did result in her forearms and hands becoming more paddle-like... like pseudo flippers. They cannot regress into true flippers, because a mermaid's top half must always be majority human, regardless of the second species.

Thalassa started to squirm violently. "AH! T-t-tingles! Eve-hah-everywhere! Aaah~"

Her entire body started to glow! Tethys inched her way off the bed, a bit afraid of what was happening. It looked like Thal had somehow hit a magical critical-mass and was about to explode. Her squirming continued and her cries continued to raise in pitch till suddenly she hiccupped and the glow erupted from her body! It dissipated quickly into the air and Thal immediately became still, dazed, and confused. The sensation just abruptly ended.

Rheic waited a few moments before speaking up. "I uh... I think that is it."

Tethys nodded. "That must be the end of your changes. You're a complete Seadragon Mermaid."

And so Thalassa's new life began. She had the equipment to pleasure and be pleasured by either gender fully and a lover in waiting on either end of the Baltica. The captain had the net-lift set up by the ladder to the main deck so Thal can be hoisted up, since she cannot climb ladders without legs. She is quite slow on land, essentially using her flippers to flop from one place to the next, but her scales at least slide easily on just about any surface and protect her lower body from any harm from objects on the ground. When in the water however, she is just a jet- she can swim faster than Baltica can move, and the engines in Baltica are the size of a house. The huge retractable fin on her back really helps a lot to hold her steady- which was her main problem when her changes were just starting. When extended, it forces the water to flow parallel to the rest of her and cuts the sea like a knife. Her hands act like paddle's and her huge tail fin once fully spread shoves a massive amount of water out from behind her, propelling her forward like a torpedo. The rippling side fins have very limited usefulness- if she tenses their base so they billow out, they help her come to a faster stop... that is about it. They certainly look beautiful though- like a giant billowing silver dress skirt. The rigid fin on the back of the tail serves the same purpose as her wing-like dorsal fin; it keeps the tail steady against the tide around her, keeping her straight as she swims without wasting effort consciously doing it. Her flippers tread water too, but are pretty limited; their primary use is to help her move on land, without hindering her in the water.

Life was pretty good- people came to rely on her and the entire crew started to respect her more for her ability to out swim anyone. From repairing the ship which is her default job, to untangling fishing net that is still cast, or investigating shadows in the water to make sure it isn't a hidden rock. With two lovers and a new 'tool' to use in the bedroom, she had plenty to keep her entertained outside of work too. It was exhausting satisfying both Tethys and Rheic, but fulfilling too. The only issue she seen now is... well, they were only partially right when they assumed she was done. It is true; Thalassa did not change any more than she already did. But every day she wakes up... she is a couple of inches bigger. It was hard to notice at first since her long body already trails off the end of the bed, unable to fit entirely on it, but after a week she was having to coil the extra length around the bed. Then she had to start squirming through smaller doorways, because she is starting to get wider than they allow. Tethy's hand now fit inside of hers like a baby holding hands with its mother! Though her breasts remained the same size in regards to her body- they are now large enough overall that Thalassa can actually pin Rheic to his bed with a single tit- smothering his entire torso with just one!

Worse still, by the second week she was having problems moving about. It took two strong men to lift her from the hull to the deck, then three, four, and five! Lifting her was like trying to reel in a young blue whale, or fish a buss out of the ocean. And still she grew. Every time she went to sleep she got a little bit bigger... but she can't just not sleep! Mirovia finally had to allow her to sleep on deck- making a space in her own captain's cabin for Thalassa. It wasn't even about the sheer number of men required to lift her out of the hull- she is now too heavy for the net itself to hold, it will just rip out from under her. She can just barely slither through the door of her own cabin anyway, and had to get rid of all her furniture to be able to squish her body into it. Mirovia's cabin was enormous compared to any other, so there was room enough there. No bed could brace her weight, so Thal had to sleep on a mattress on the floor with no frame under it.

Unfortunately this also gave Thalassa a view of the captain no one else was permitted to see. She quickly brushed aside concerns of the crew about finding land and how long they were willing to go out before hitting their emergency eject button. The answer was always- they will find land before they need to think about using the warm magic, and to not worry about it. Baltica has its own orchard, massive garden and water filtration systems. They were not going to run out of resources- ever. The sea itself provided the meat. The odds of a storm swallowing them up is also very slim given just how enormous the ship is- you'd need tornado strength winds to knock it over. But when the captain was in her cabin her expression immediately darkens. No, they won't run out of resources, or topple to an angry storm. They will go insane. They will die of boredom, go stir crazy, or just become outright insane from the mere concept of being trapped on the ship with no salvation and no prospect of change, ever.

More weeks went by, and still Thalassa grew slowly with every night's sleep. She was very drowsy now all the time from trying to force herself to stay awake to at least delay the growth in hopes it just stops. The captain unfortunately had no choice but to kick her out one day. Thalassa was so large that she could no longer fit through the double-doors to the captain's quarters... they broke the door frame to get her out. Now she has to sleep under a series of blankets on the deck out in the open, because it is the only place she fits! It is hard to sneak in sex with either Rheic or Tethys, since she can't leave the deck- the only time they can do it is when everyone else goes to sleep. At this size, Tethys can only suck on the very end of her cock and even then it almost gives her lock-jaw trying to fit it in her mouth. The dick itself is many times larger than Tethys' entire body! You'd need to stack around five Tethys on top of one another to equal the mass of Thal's dork. Her pussy is so large Rheic could squeeze his entire body inside of it! One nipple overfills his entire mouth, and one single boob is large enough to entirely burry his entire body under- she could suffocate him under a single boob by accident if she wasn't careful. On the other hand, he can also ride in her cleavage and be in a pool of soft jiggly flesh. Unfortunately his penis is so small compared to Thal that sucking him off is like sucking on the end of a pencil. But still she grew. An adult sea dragon is big enough to swallow ships whole.

Everyone was glad she was around when they got tangled up in another wreck. It happened twice more in the following months, which is a lot given how they don't appear to be near literally any landmarks. Jared claimed to see several more titan ships far on the horizon too, and many people thought he was nuts for months, but after four months one finally passed close enough that someone other than just Jared seen it, to finally prove he wasn't just nuts. They were always going in a different direction and roughly the same speed as they are if not faster though- so by the time Baltica changes course the other ship would be gone, so they were never able to signal to the other ship to try and make contact. Still, the fact that there is traffic on this part of the ocean quickly became the hope everyone clung to.

After five months, Thalassa had to leave the Baltica. Obviously she cannot simply swim off- she has to stay with the ship but... she has grown so titanic at this point that she cannot safely be on its deck. She might break through the deck, and she is so heavy that she is actually able to shift the entire ship with her movement. Oddly she is able to be sustained on exactly the same amount of food she has always eaten, but... she still has to sleep with the fishes now. When she is resting or sleeping entirely, she rolls the fishing net around herself so she doesn't divide from Baltica. Now her side of the ship is the new gathering hub for everyone. Whenever people gather to talk or play games, they go to her at the side of the ship. When alone- Thal is so gigantic that her penis cannot possibly fit into anything- she can penetrate and completely fill Tethys with a single nipple! Tethys rides her boobs to get off! Those thumps on the hull during the night? Yea, that is Thal's dork rubbing against it to get off. Rheic frotts with her sometimes still too, but the best he can do at their size difference is get naked and full-body hug the base of her monumental shaft. The bulging veins at the base of the gigantic cock alone are thicker than his own dick. Tethys' large breasts are like soft marbles compared to Thal.

There are a few times, always at night that Thalassa also seen lights in the waters. She is always in the water now, so she ends up being the only one who can see it, so she sort of gave up on telling anyone else about it other than Tethys and Rheic at risk of them thinking she is nuts like they had Jared. Whatever is creating the light is some sort of creature- because the moment she dunks her head under to actually see it, it immediately darts away and kills the light. It started to appear fairly frequently, and seemed to be trying to come up to the ship- likely has never encountered a boat so it's trying to figure out what it is. Thal is too big though, every time she moves to get a good look at it, she spooks it off. And the ship sightings gradually got more frequent, giving people a bit of hope. The captain prepared blanks for the cannons at the front and attempted to use the sound and flash to try and signal the other ships on two different occasions but they did not seem to notice- or just didn't care. It seems doubtful that they would not have heard it, but they don't stop anyway. The sea floor around here started to become predictable, going from fairly shallow to abysmally deep over and over- the ocean floor marked with equally spaced bottomless holes. They seemed to encounter shipwrecks more frequently too.

After almost seven months of being fully transformed like this, and a year and a half of being out at sea, the Baltica got skewered yet again, great. Was the same as last time too- it was yet again the mast of a ship hidden just below the surface. This time it was not one but two wrecks, from the look of it they may have collided with one another- both of them absolute titans among ships. Thalassa has had a feeling of growing unease ever since seeing the captains repressed concerns. Something seemed very wrong. As always, she helped the crew repair the ship and made the task a hundred times faster- but when they went to lift anchor Thalassa told them to go without her, she would catch up before Baltica was able to lose her. They did it, but Mirovia did not like that one bit. She doesn't want to lose a single person- especially not the most blessed person on board. Mirovia leaned over the side of the ship waiting nervously for Thalassa to re-surface. She has been under the entire time- she must be trying to scrounge the shipwreck for loot, but she is so large she cannot fit inside of the ship, so she either smashes it open or only scavenges the surface.

Once Baltica was out of the way, much more light was able to touch the wreck and Thal could actually look around. No- these two ships had not rammed into one another, one has been down here for eons more than the other. The ships look very similar though- they both came from the same place. She rummaged around inside as far as her arm could reach- since that is all she can fit inside of the ship in spite of it being enormous itself. She found some very interesting things, and was so deep in thought about that, that she barely acknowledged the crab she seen in the corner of her vision. It took her brain a moment to process it. She is gigantic- a crab should look like a spec of dust to her. She turned and then slammed her tail forward to launch herself back just in time to dodge its giant pincer! The crab is the size of a small house! It has one lance-like little pincer and one crushing arm nearly the size of its entire body. She also noted that there are no eye stalks or visible mouth on the crab... this isn't a crab, it is some sort of sea monster. It thrust its giant claw forward again and it split into four clawed sections- each segment lined with a million teeth, with a long tongue thrashing around in the middle! Thalassa noticed six soulless black eyes on the top of the 'pincer', indicating that the large arm is in fact the creature's head. Thalassa quickly darted away, very glad that a creature like that is doomed to walk the floor of the ocean- it cannot swim after her.

Mirovia was sweating bullets staring off the side of Baltica and breathed a sigh of relief as she seen the surface ripple in an arrow shape heading straight for them- Thal below the surface swimming so fast that she is stirring the ocean. Thalassa erupted from the waters beside the ship, but then placed her hand on the ship, causing Baltica to lurch; her hand was holding it back.

"Captain! We need to turn around, immediately. This is a doomed voyage."

"Thalassa, I assure ya whatever yer concerns are, Baltica is well equipped to deal with-"

"No, it isn't. I don't even know how we fail but I know we will!"

Mirovia quickly bopped her knee and drew Best Foot, pointing the rifle at Thal. "Let go of me ship Thalassa. Believe what you will, but don't ya dare poison me crew with your fear."

Thalassa held up a rifle of her own and pointed it right back at the captain! Of course due to her size- Thal was holding the rifle with only two fingers.

Mirovia narrowed her eyes. "Where did you get a flintlock?"

Thalassa turned it sideways so she could see the algae encrusted engraving of the name 'Best Foot' on the barrel before tossing it down onto the deck at her feet. "From your dead body."

The name of the wreck she just emerged from, is the Baltica. The ship next to it? Baltica. All the ships they have been spotting on the horizon are all large ships like theirs because it literally IS their ship. Every ship and wreck they have encountered has been THEIR OWN SHIP! The salt water dissolves bone, so everyone's remains have been absent from the wrecks... except the captain's leg is partially metal, which does not corrode the same way. The huge holes they keep passing over in the ocean... they are all the SAME hole. They have been sailing over the same area of the sea over and over for Gods only know how long. They haven't moved an inch! And that is why they will die here. The captain immediately authorized use of the recall spell to teleport back to the land. They now knew for a fact that they were going to die- because they have encountered their own corpse! The recall did nothing. Their side of the spell looked perfectly fine, and obviously they have not used it already to be able to burn it out... the only reason it would do this is... the OTHER half of the spell burned out.

Thalassa shook her head. "How? How could they neglect it so much that they would let it completely age out?"

Mirovia shook her head, pacing around just outside her quarters' door. "Not enough time has even passed for it to burn out like that without having been used. I think that is the very problem we face now."

"What do you mean?"

"All the ships ya seen were in different state of rot, aye? That means they did not sink at the same time- yet they are all this very ship. Physically, Baltica isn't moving at all, we haven't moved an inch. Whenever we appear to be moving, it is not our physical location that changes, but rather our position on the timeline. We are sailing through time, not space."

The navigator beside her started chewing his thumbnail. "Which means it doesn't matter if we turn the ship around, our location isn't going to change. The spell doesn't connect because it's linked to a different time than the one we are currently in. So then what the hell do we do? Are we just... doomed?"

The captain just shook her head and continued to pace. It certainly seemed like they were all fucked. The only thing that made Thalassa still wonder is... dragon bone won't dissolve like humans, but of all the wrecks she has encountered- her own remains are absent. At the very least that means that this particular instance of the Baltica is different from the ones that sank, which means it still has hope. Thalassa sunk below to try and guide the ship using the ocean floor as a better navigation- trying to see where the land repeats itself to see if there is perhaps a gap in the loop they can get out from. What she found is perhaps just as good- a woman swam out from a colorful mountain of coral, and float in her direct path trying to get Thal's attention.

When she approached Thal started to realize it was a sea creature that simply resembled a woman. Her skin is a soft blue, but she is enshrouded in neon blue drapes! Where arms would be are instead two curtains of translucent neon blue flesh and look like she is wearing a cloak. Her head has another curtain of flesh resembling a veil. Because both the veil and her head itself are translucent, she can see what appears to be an eye in the middle. It is actually a diffused-red nucleus; the creature's core. Instead of feet, it trailed four long frilly tendrils from its hips... it is a jellyfish mermaid.

"It is good to finally see your ship."

"Baltica? Do you know of us? Who are you?"

"We have met before, at roughly this very moment, but every other time we have met- your ship has been destroyed. I am a Venus- there is seven of us in total scattered across the world, it is we who created the mermaids originally. When you encountered me before, I offered the blessing of a mermaid so that you do not drown, but by that time your ship has already been destroyed by another, malicious mermaid- Ural. You are the only one of your crew who managed to find me before drowning so you have been the lone survive time and again. The last time we met however- you let yourself die. You told me to instead place the blessing I would have bestowed on you, into a bottle. Because the bottle is a mortal object, it succumbed to the distortion of time, and found its way to you long before you get to me."

Thalassa's eyes went wide when she remembered the light trying to get to the ship that kept getting scared off by her! That must have been Ural- trying to attack the ship!

"So I killed myself in the future to save myself in the past. We broke the cycle... but we are still stuck in this location."

"Long ago this world had a different name, and was entirely different in shape than what you know of today. One day the world was turned inside-out by an enormous volcanic eruption on the other side of the world which spewed up the molten core onto the surface, burning away the old world and cooling into an entirely new one. What had formerly been the surface was then pushed away and buried, swallowed into a hole opposite of the eruption."

"...the hole in the ocean we keep passing over."

"Precisely. The entire world collapsed in at this point, which causes time itself to be malformed and bent, following the hole into the abyss. You already have what you need to escape it- simply swim out."

"Huh?"

"Cut the engines in your ship, and swim it to your destination. You are a seadragon mermaid, a magical being- time does not have the same influence over you as it does anyone else, it can't trap you in the loop. The Baltica cannot escape under its own power, but it can escape under yours. Go, leave this wretched place. I alone am meant to watch over the eye of the abyss."

Thalassa rushed to the surface to tell the captain, who quickly ordered the engines be turned off. Thalassa had them let down the fishing nets on either side and used them to hold on to, positioning herself below the ship and held it onto her backside before using her giant tail to slam water away behind her, hard enough to churn the sand up from the ocean floor in a cloud behind them! So, all the other Baltica wrecks were caused by a mermaid named Ural. She must live in the abyss- since Baltica keeps passing over the void over and over she had countless opportunities to strike, no reason to rush.

They came up on the void one last time. Once they pass it this time, they will actually be out of it and back into open waters. The entire crew was on hand looking out at the waters, holding their breath. Thalassa swam full speed ahead, even though she was starting to get tired- she was determined to not stop till they were out. She slowed suddenly when she seen a pale light in the abyss, rising up. A giant of a woman- though still only half the size of Thal emerged from the dark below. She has black hair that must trail nearly twenty feet down, like a black ribbon following behind her. Her eyes are a source of the light- they glow a pale yellow so brightly you cannot see if she has iris or pupils. In addition to that she has absolutely enormous breasts that oddly lack nipples or areola, and are instead covered in bioluminescent spots that create even more light than her eyes do. Before Thal could look her over further, Ural shot forward, swimming straight at them! Her fish half is very bulbous and covered with maroon colored scales that are shaped like spikes- like the skin of a pineapple.

Thal let go of the ship ready to defend herself. Ural hissed at her- knowing she was about to remove her favorite prey from the time loop. Ural has been feeding on the same ship over and over for some time now. When she approached, Ural straightened her human torso and spread what looked at first like her pussy, except it is absolutely gargantuan and lined entirely with crooked needle-like teeth, it's a vertical mouth! She is an Angler Fish Mermaid! Her clit is instead a narrow penis that lashes around aroused by the prospect of a fresh meal like a tongue. Its surface is covered with randomly placed hard knobs of flesh. Below the shaft on the roof of the vaginal maw is an enormous sack filled with at least dozens of softball sized testicles! Female Anglerfish absorb males- keeping their testicles for their own use. Since there aren't likely many other Angler mermaids around... the balls she currently has are the mutated testicles stolen from the drown crew of the Baltica.

The flew at Thal with the vaginal maw at the fore of her round lower body and bit into her arm! Thalassa punched her with her other arm and knocked the wretched mermaid off. Her blood spread in the water like a drop of food coloring in a glass. The holes Ural's teeth left are comparatively tiny, but numerous. Thalassa swam up and dove up out of the water in an arch to avoid the next bite, and also secretly signaling to the crew above water who have been waiting for this. Ural was trying to get to Thal's throat, knowing she was in for an extremely long fight otherwise. Thal lifted her top half out of the water to try and prevent Ural from reaching it. Ural quickly lunged out of the water, too vicious to think the situation over properly and weight the risks. Thalassa lifted her tail under Ural as she left the water and then took a deep breath and blasted her own onto Thal's tail with a pillar of ice elemental energy! Thal used a seadragon's ice breath and froze Ural's body, because she is not only mostly water, she is covered in water. Thal held up the frozen mermaid beside the ship.

Mirovia snapped her fingers with a smile. "Back to Hell with ya, demon."

The Baltica fired its cannon directly into Ural's frozen body and burst it into a cloud of ice shards and gore- turned to chum to feed the sharks. The deity known as Venus turned women into mermaids- but a mermaid's kiss can also create a new mermaid, so not all mermaid have encountered the Venus. Ural had been created by another- an example of power falling into the wrong hands. Or perhaps she was a more normal woman once, and simply became twisted by spending time in the void of the abyss.

All Thalassa knew or cared about was getting the Baltica out of its loop. She passed the hole in the world and kept going, kept swimming no matter how tired she became. Thalassa finally stopped swimming and rest, and the Baltica turned its engines back on to instead drag her for a bit- as they spotted green on the horizon. Tree covered hills in the distance. A new land! The captain checked the teleportation runes and they were once again glowing with charge, indicating the time period on both ends of the spell are aligned. They had already been so close to the end of their voyage already- trapped just out of reach. Thalassa had a feeling they would like her hand constructing a base on the other side, since she herself is many times larger than most buildings, but for now, she rests.
