What happened to me?

Beneath the shimmery surface of the shallow water, Zale's body looked strange. The torn legs of his breeches drifted in the current, anchored only by his waistband. Between them—where his legs should be—shimmered a large silvery-green tail from the most enormous fish he had ever seen. His neck felt odd, and when he touched it, he found frilly flaps of leathery skin opening over slits he had never found there before.

Talwyn clambered onto the shore, gasping. Noticing the boys’ reactions, she turned around to see what they were looking at. Afraid that she would react the same way, Zale held up his hands to ward off her terror, blocking his view of her face.

“Zale? Is that you?”

“No—” he whimpered, squeezing his eyes shut tight. He cracked an eye open but refused to look at her. The skin on the backs of his raised hands glimmered wetly. He stared at the slick gel that covered his hands and arms beneath his shirt. Why do I feel so strange?

Gryffyn pulled himself onto a flat boulder on the bank.

“Fynn?” screamed Robbie, flailing near the shore. “Fynny? I can’t see. Help!”

Gryffyn bent and hauled his brother out of the water.

“Demon,” Jory whispered, backing away from Zale and crossing himself.

Gryffyn's gaze locked on Zale. He took in Zale’s tail and the leathery gills, and then glanced at the charred tree that still hissed slightly in the rain. He turned back to Zale with narrowed eyes.

“It was you. What are you?”
