Where'd your legs go!? Wait... Where's your cock!!? (Merman)

You awake in darkness, seemingly weightless you're not sure if you're alive or not. You open your mouth and try to breath deeply, however, instead of feeling any relief from you longs something seemed to flare open on ether side of your shoulder blades.

Surprised you cross your arms and feel your sides. feeling three, very sensitive slits that follow the curve of your rips.

You feel panic rise in you as you bring your hands back to feel your fingers. Although you can still feel your individual digits there seems to be some kind of webbing between them and long nails that are so sharp you accidentally scratch yourself with them.

Feeling even more panicked you kick with your legs and find with horror that they seem to be tied together. You suddenly lose all rationality and thrash about opening your mouth in a scream, though no sound comes out. The darkness around you bears down on your mind like an enormous weight.

Eventually, having tired yourself out, you calm and flex your legs again. You couldn't even feel your legs bending at the knee. You use your new webbed hands to feel down your front starting at the head, being careful not to scratch yourself with your nails.

Hair: check

Ears: ....

Webbed like things? Okay, you're going to ignore those for now.

Eye-sockets: check

Noes: check

Mouth: check

Neck: check

Collarbone: check

Pecs: check

Abs: check

Hips: ....

You feel up and down your waist and where your hip bones should be. But you can only feel a smooth expanse descending downwards. Not really sure, you leave it aside for the moment and go to the next item on your mental checklist.

Penis: ...

You feel of and down your front but you feel nothing. You even slide your hands further down to where your knees would have been but find neither your knees nor any lose appendage that could be either your cock or your balls.

You feel the panic building inside of you again and you feel franticly up and down the smooth expanse of the tender skin which should be your groin and legs but find nothing you even reach back and feel around at where your butt should be but only find yet another smooth expanse of flesh with unfamiliar muscles flexing under your hands.

You begin to thrash again as the panic overcomes you.

Eventually you still, having tired yourself out again. You feel the slitted flesh in your sides heave from exertion much like you would have panted with your lungs. Except it felt unsettlingly wrong.

Not having the energy to panic anymore you lie un the water. Because you're still in the water, aren't you. At the bottom of the lake where you'd somehow killed the Nekt.

There's been a white dot of light that had appeared. Perhaps you had swallowed it and whatever it had been, had changed you.

Thanks to that you were still alive and somehow breathing under water. Which meant those slitted things under your arms were gills.

You shiver with unease. But trying to look at the bright side, whatever you had become had allowed you to survive through impossible odds.

You decide that being able to see your current condition will help you to come to terms with what you have become.

Treading water with your webbed hands and and flopping your useless legs behind you try to find your way towards the light. It turns out it is not as simple as you first thought. In the darkness you have lost all sense of direction and you have no air in you to help you navigate upwards. In the end you learn to distinguish the water pressure, and you begin swimming in the direction of decreasing pressure.

Light comes into view surprisingly fast and you increase your speed eagerly after that.

In the silent water you come to a stop. The only thing you can see besides the blue of the water which turns to a brownish green colour to your left, and the darkness of the water below you is the square shadow what must be a raft on the waters surface.

Seeing no danger and ignoring the raft far above you, you look down at your body.

The skin down your front seems to have turned a pale shade of grey. Your chest remains the same looking not much different from any other sculpted male chest, aside from the odd colouring. below that however stretches a single long, but muscular limb. With the same pale grey colouring. At the very end you see a tail fluke, much like what you would had seen on pictures of dolphins or whales.

There's no sign of your dick, but you see a discreet slit like opening round about where your dick should be. You reach towards the spot but stop yourself. you're not going to finger yourself to find out what it is.

Instead you tun your attention to your attention to the colouration on the back of your webbed hands and arms. You hide has turned a dark blue - almost black, with swaying green stripes that become irradecent when catching the light just right. It's rather beautiful upon a closer look, but most importantly it would camouflage you well in the CessPond.

You turn your tail a bit and find that it too is similarly marked on it's hind side and you assume that your back also has the darker colouration. As you twist year head about to try to get a look you catch sight of your hair.

It seems to have grown a bit longer. The tips are a pale blond, much like the Nekt's had been but seem to turn towards a green as it nears your scalp.

Not begin able to see much you lift your arms to see your gills agains the ribs.

They's almost invisible when closed but as they flare open a deep red is revealed like a deep wound. The sight unnerves you so badly you immediately suck them closed, whereupon you realise that you can seal them shut.

you begin you try to fel up your hind side. You have no butt to speak of anymore. You feel another whole that is a bit larger than the one on your front at the small of your back.

Higher up on your back you can feel something else, but you can't quite reach it. Trying out various portion you finally manage to reach it with one hand over your shoulder, the other hand pressing you elbow further back. It seems to be a fairly narrow protrusion attached along your spine between your shoulder blades. You can only guess that it's a dorsal fin, based on the theme of your other transformations.

You finalise your conclusion of what you have become.

A legendary mermaid- wait, no- merman!

Although not as rare as the Nekts, not much is known about this species. Whatever has been learned comes from those held in captivity, and most of such information isn't accessible to plebs like yourself.

All you know is that they are incredibly long lived and have the torso of a human and the tail of a fish. Of course there were plenty of kids tales about them but you hadn't really put much stock in those.

Unfortunate, because you were now going to have to find out for yourself about what your new life is going to be like.

Although you can't complain about still being alive, you don't really find your prospects as a merman very bright.

Getting out of the CessPond was going to be a chore since you no longer had your legs. Maybe you could use your flukes in a similar way to a seal, but you would lose a lot of your mobility (not to mention it would look pathetic), you would also be easy pickings for any adventurer or CessPool ranger who wanted to sell you on the black auction.

Maybe you could seduce an adventurer lady, or man -you think darkly as the Nekt's pert ass comes unbidden to your mind - to help you get out, but you'd be mostly ornamental until you find out where your cock has gone. Because, you refuse to believe that you'd lost it in your transformation. You definitely hadn't... right?

Anyway, you weren't sure what you would do once you were out of the CessPond maybe you would live in a lake or the sea till the end of your day. You think it would be quite difficult to establish yourself as an adventurer, even though being able to explore underwater would be a great way to find loot and lost artefact. But it wasn't for nothing that you'd never heard of a mermaid adventurers. However in some ways because it was more challenging, it might be more rewarding to become the worlds first adventurer merman.

However, before that, you needed to get out of the CessPond. Staying here for an extended period of time wasn't an option - unless you were for some reason resistent to pollutants and diseases.

Even though the waters you were in currently where exceptionally clean due to the former resident Nekt, it would quickly become polluted again. After which, you faced the same slow **** the Nekt had been doomed too. Although you could probably manage to go through more polluted areas for short stints, you may well be even more **** to them as a water dweller.

Besides, the toothless leaches wouldn't care that you were a merman now, and the squirmies posed an even greater danger to you as a water breather, not to mention what other creature dwelled in these swamps and deep waters.
