him.
The sorcerer blinked slowly. What the hell had that been about?
“No, he’s so far away now!” cried the mermaid. She began to wriggle and squirm.
“He’ll be over in a minute. Calm down.” said Rhea before she unleashed a loud sigh.
Scott followed them toward the campfire. He had several questions that he wanted answered.
Once they arrived at their camp Rhea gently lowered the fish-tailed girl to the ground. Once Scott entered the area, the elf girl casually moved to stand in front of him. “Be careful, alright Scott?”
“What’s going on, Rhea?” asked Scott.
“Scott? What a perfectly handsome name.” murmured the mer-girl.
“Uh... Thanks?” Scott tilted his head to the side and blinked.
Rhea leaned toward him then whispered into his ear. “Try not to talk to her much right now. I trust you, but she has certain needs.”
“Needs?” asked Scott in a quiet voice. What sort of needs was she talking about?
The elf maiden sighed once more then shook her head before whispering. “Mermaids are an all-female race. They have to mate with a suitable male from a different species. They have a severe, but temporary, fetish for human males.”
“Wait... You’re telling me that she’s ...” Scott started to say.
Rhea finished for him with a whisper. “Super horny? Yes. She’ll be fine by morning. They get like this on the nights of the full moon. Consider it their mating season.”
Scott stared at the elf girl. “I don’t know if I’ve ever heard you say that word before?”
Her cheeks became flushed and she shook her head. “We can discuss my vocal habits later, OK?”
“Sure...We’ll discuss super horny later.” said Scott with a smile.
“Oh, hey... What’s with the private conversation? I might be a little jealous.” said the mermaid. She pouted cutely at Scott then fluttered her eyelashes.
In the light of the fire, the sorcerer could see that the newcomer was quite a beauty in her own right. A man without romantic attachments would probably be helpless before her overall enthusiasm.
After a few minutes passed in idle chatter, a strange event occurred. The mermaid shimmered gently in the light and her tail split apart. Slowly her split tail became two finely formed human legs. “Oh, that is so much better!”
The girl struggled to stand for a moment, and then managed the feat. “Yes! So this is what it’s like to have feet?” She wiggled her toes then giggled at them.
“You’ve never had feet before?” asked Scott curiously.
She looked at him then lowered her lashes and looked down at the ground in an approximation of shyness. “No... Never. I’ve never done a lot of interesting things before.”
“And you won’t be doing them tonight, either.” said Rhea in an authoritative tone.
Scott smirked at the girl in amusement. It was kind of cute when she marked her territory. Ever since the Ero incident, Rhea had taken much greater interest in anyone even remotely female who came close to Scott.
“That’s mean... I don’t want to keep him forever. I just want to have his babies. Is that so bad?” asked the girl with an innocent and curious expression.
Rhea snorted at her. “Not happening. How about you tell us about your people being kidnapped, instead?”
“My people? Oh! Yes, my people. Um, well the Shar-Shar invaded our Grotto and captured my sisters. They have tried it before, and failed. But they used the full moon against us this time.”
“The full moon causes you problems when defending yourselves?” asked Scott.
The mermaid nodded at him then pouted a little. “Yes, we become weak and can barely defend ourselves. If only we had a big strong man to protect us...”
Rhea rolled her eyes. “Yes, well you do not have one. Tell us more about the Shar-Shar. How strong were they?”
“Well, that’s no fun...” said the girl before looking up at Scott. He had the good sense not to reply to her, and only smiled in response.
Rhea cleared her
