So...this is single handedly the LONGEST first chapter I have ever, and I mean EVER written! It's choppy, I think, and shitty but still I want to do this fanfiction in two chapters. But this was definitely, without a doubt, inspired by The Littlest Mermaid by Hans Christian Andersen! I found the video on Youtube and it is, without a doubt , my favorite movie. But bear with me on this first chapter! Sorry it's long or shitty, but enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own the Littlest Mermaid, that goes to Hans Christian Andersen!

"Arthur, what're you doing? Mother has been calling for you!" Arthur looked down at his youngest brother, Peter, his tail swishing lightly the pale blue mesmerizing him by throwing back the light that reached beneath the surface. His brother's bright blue eyes locked onto his emerald greens and he looked up at the surface of the water, longing to break the smooth surface of the water.

"Don't you wish to go up there sometimes?" Arthur asked dazedly as the sun danced along the surface of the water sending beams of light own in the depths, turning the water dark sapphire blue that made everything glow. His hair softly waved with the gentle water around him that seemed both still but ever moving.

"Arthur, come on!" Peter swam up grabbing his hand and yanked him down, Arthur feeling his eyes widen when he was dragged deeper in the water so suddenly, away from the sun beams and down to their mother.

He swam with him, feeling a burst of longing to go back, close to the surface, his tail swishing causing the water to stir, the dark green tail just as mesmerizing as Peter's. When they got down to their home he noted his three elder brother's were already there and waiting for him, hair ranging from red to blonde as Arthur sat, their mother sighed. Her hair was long enough it blocked the view of her breasts, slightly, but tilted her head.

"Since we're all here I shall tell you all something," She began as Arthur sat with Peter leaning forward on his elbows on his favorite rock, his pale hair softly floating.

"What is it, Mother?" Asked his eldest brother, his eyes curious as he tilted making his red hair seem to flare as it softly waved, his tail just as vibrant as his hair.

"Being as there's not many years between the five of you I will tell you together. When you turn fifteen, you may go up to the surface." Their mother said her palms pressing together as her sunshine hair, exactly like Arthur's, floated in soft tendrils in the water the color seeming to glow. Arthur, obviously, was quickly animated with a wide smile that made his eyes glitter. "Are you serious, Mother? We can go to the surface then?"

"Only when you are fifteen. You all have three years to go." His mother corrected as her second youngest smiled at her. "Now, the lot of you, go play!"

"Yes, Mother!" They all shouted happily before swimming off. Arthur was happily doing spin's, making his green tail shimmer when he moved, Allistor rolled his eyes at the youngers happy spins.

"Could you be any happier?" Allistor asked when the twins, both second oldest, snickered. Seamus and Bridget were mischievous in nature, yet were not identical seeing as Bridget was a girl so that was a plus! Dylan was slightly quieter but could be just as rambunctious when Seamus or Bridget get him going and that would sometimes annoy Arthur but when his brother's-and sister- were happy he could say he was happy along with them. Peter was annoying, deeply so, but Arthur always kept a sharp eye on him to make sure the little blonde didn't go off and aggravate sharks or something.

"Yes~" Arthur sang lightly as he laughed making Peter giggle then, with his eyes lighting up making them as bright as the sky, he smiled widely at Arthur.

"Arthur, you should sing!" Peter suggested with two fist pumps as he looked at his elder when Bridget smiled nodding happily.

"Do it, Arthur! Belt out some sweet cords!" Bridget ordered making Seamus laugh at his sister's stupid choice of words and Allistor, along with Dylan, nodded.

"Fine fine!" He sighed but felt secretly happy his elder siblings and Peter enjoyed his singing voice. It was like each sibling had something about them that was enhanced; Allistor was good with creating things with his hands; Seamus could swim faster than all of them combined, while Bridget was hands down the most breathtakingly beautiful of them all her beauty radiant like the sun; Dylan could attack with scary precision; Peter could talk a mile per minute, annoying all of them. And Arthur had the best, sweetest singing voice out of them.

Arthur then took a deep breath as he did another happy flip and, as Bridget ordered, began to sing. It was like a calm came over everything, his voice high and clear with a little undertone of something that made everything in the ocean still and hold it's breath as if listening to Arthur intently. He could hear his siblings light, tiny inhales of surprise when he began to sing the bars of the words floating through his head and let them out of his mouth with a precise rhythm that made them all smile. He laughed when Bridget gasped and broke the seemingly spine shivering beautiful moment. Even with his crystal clear singing voice Arthur had a laugh that could make you join in.

"Who wants to go and play with the seaweed and fish?" Bridget asked with a tilt before she shot forward, her ginger colored tail flashing iridescent orange at them as she sped off.

"I DO!" The other's shouted happily, Allistor's tail winking iridescent red, Seamus' dark orange, Dylan's flashing a soft orange unlike his reddish-blonde hair and Peter was gone in a flash of pale blue.

Arthur smiled as his siblings laughed happily, speeding off to their favorite play spot when Arthur looked up at the surface, now some meter's down and achingly far from that glittering surface. He ached to go up there now, back to his spot and observe the sky from the water but he heard a shout of his name making him blink gently. His brother's were shouting at him from far with Bridget threatening to kick his butt. Arthur laughed then, following the sounds of his siblings voice only to shout he didn't have a butt to kick, that only humans had a butt to kick and Bridget promptly slapped his back hard with her fin while his brother's just laughed and he grumbled in pain.

"Where are ya going, Arthur?" A head turned to look at Dylan, who was staring at Arthur curiously. His green eyes glowed happily when he looked to the surface, his green tail throwing off iridescent shades of his scales.

"To the surface." He replied in a matter of fact tone as his blonde hair waved softly, never stilling.

"You're always running off to the surface now," Dylan replied not whining but pointing it out but Arthur just rolled his eyes at his elder brother. "Besides, Mother wants us to stick close to home today, there's to be a storm."

"Don't worry! I'll be safe! I'll come home before the storm even has a chance to hit us," Arthur replied with a flap of his hand as he stared impatiently at his brother. "Is
that all? I want to go up now, before it can storm."

"Just...make sure you get back down in time." Dylan sighed out as Arthur just rolled his eyes at his brother who swam back down to their home.

Being fifteen now Arthur escaped to the surface whenever he thought he could get away with and anytime of the night or day, loving the cool air above the water and staring at those winking stars in the velvety dark sky at night only to watch clouds floating across the blue sky as the sun burned with bright rays warming his skin and tail comfortably. He swam up excitedly, his tail swishing to push him fast and he broke through the surface with a gasp of the air, throwing his hair back making water spray from the locks of hair but he enjoyed the warmth not that he was out of the rather cool pulled himself up onto his rock, the one he always sat on, leaning back feeling the warm air attack his chilled flesh and tail, shivering at the comforting sensation and he opened his eyes looking up at the sky indeed seeing the black clouds rolling in from the horizon. It looked like a bad storm, the worst of the season possibly, but he was prepared to jump down if he needed too.

After some time, mere minutes it seemed, the air grew chilled and those dark clouds were advancing with sharp winds that ruffled Arthur's hair as he frowned. The clouds were thick and dark, approaching quicker than he anticipate and he ground his teeth hard as he jumped off the water, aware of how warm it felt to him now as he began to swim further down, his hair softly waving with his movements as he pushed into the dark water, aware of the currents picking was jolted hard to the right when the current picked up and he swam down hunkering by a rock holding onto it so tight his knuckles turned white from the intensity of his grip. He stared up at the now dark sky, the storm rolling in faster than he liked as he held onto the rock. It wasn't fair! He wanted more time on the surface! He pouted with frustration, his thick brows pulling together tight as his green eyes darkened with his dissatisfaction.

He was twisting slightly prepared to swim deeper, his tail swishing already as he angled towards home when the current relaxed some when, making his eyes widen, a loud splash got his attention. There was a swarm of bubbles encasing a body! ! Arthur gasped softly when he saw it was a human male, unconscious and he wondered for a few seconds where the hell this male had come from when he noticed the bubbles escaping his loose lips.

He cried out wordlessly as he swim forward leaving bubbles in his wake as he held his arms out, swimming the few meters to the human and caught the floating male easily. They were some time away from the shore but Arthur was sure he could get him there. He dragged the human to the surface, aware of how much heavier he seemed to be and broke the surface yanking the human up getting him some air when a wave slapped over their heads.

Arthur gurgled as he gasped, taken aback when he shoved the human male up again, keeping him above the waves best he could. He began yanking him as he swam, one armed and with the heavy body, towards the shore. He gasped thickly as he moved, his tail working doubly as his arms ached with both holding the human above the waves as they came and keeping him from slipping under the water, his other arm aching with the one armed swimming. The storm came fast than they thought so Arthur couldn't have anticipated helping a human, right? Couldn't anticipate he wasn't safe? He kept swimming, however, pushing his body and holding the heavy human up above the water. He could see the shore, maybe ten more arm strokes away and he never felt such relief.

He swam, counting the strokes as he took harsh breathes the signaled he was going to give out soon as he got that sweet, beautiful tempting shore. Ten swim strokes away. Nine.

Eight. Seven. Six. Five more, oh god so close! Four! Three! Two! Yes! One! He got to the surface slapping the soaking wet male onto the sandy beach. He shoved him up far, away from the reaching sea, the foam thick from the hard waves but Arthur pushed him up until he was at a safe distance from the water. Arthur gasped as his shaking arms gave out when he crawled up beside the human. He panted hard from his tired, aching swimming when he noticed, with panic, the human wasn't breathing as he should've.

He sat up with scrambling moves, trying to remember what happened when a child nearly drowned at the humans saved him. They...They hit his chest right? Like this? He questioned himself when he pressed his right hand over the human's chest then his left over his right and began to push, little grunts leaving his lips as his brow crinkled with the effort. And then they..they pinched his nose and blew air into his mouth. He leaned down, pinching the humans nose and used his other hand to part the human's lips and, with a soft flush flooding his face, he leaned down pressing his lips to the human's blowing as much as as he could. How many times did they do it? Until the child spit up water! That's it!

So, with his thoughts coming full circle, Arthur pushed on the human's chest with the same grunts leaving his lips softly before he pinched his nose and blew air into his mouth yet again. He continued this process continuously but when he got to pushing on the human's chest for the tenth time nad leaning over to blow air in his mouth he was giving up hope until there was a gurgle and water spewed from the human's mouth. Arthur jerked back and turned the male on his side as he threw up a lot of the seawater making him concerned until the human seemed to shiver uncontrollably but remained unconscious.

Arthur then took the chance to actually look at this human. He had soft, caramel colored hair with perfectly arched brows that weren't thick like his, pale skin like milk with thick lashes resting on his wet, flushed cheeks. His chest rose and fell with his soft breathes as his lips remained parted and Arthur blinked when he noticed a cut on his cheek bone and on his neck so he reached back on his tail pulling off two scales easily and pressed the iridescent scales to the cuts, quite literally watching the wounds fade. The human's lashes fluttered a few times when he heard a chime of bells and he jerked hastily dragging himself to the water disappearing with a soft splash but swam to one of the many large rocks near this shore and hid behind it watching curiously.

"Oh my!" There was a loud voice, concerned but curious, with feet running over the surface of the sand and Arthur watched as a human male with pale hair- perhaps the palest he'd ever seen- walk to the human he'd saved and bent down. This new male was attractive, his hair pale like beige, large violet eyes and a scarf tied around his neck looking old and ratty. The human he saved groaned lightly when this new, pale haired human lifted his torso slightly to place his head in his lap. Those soft, caramel colored lashes fluttering and Arthur stared in anticipation with a baited breath.

What color would they be? Hazel? Blue like Peter's? Purple like this knew males? Gold? Amber? Brown? Green like his own? Pink? Gray? He waited eagerly when those lashes lifted halfway revealing orbs of foggy blues that made Arthur's heart shockingly stutter in his chest when he saw them and ducked away when the human's eyes shut again feeling his cheeks warm considerably and a little smile curve over his lips. Despite the human being male he had the prettiest blue eyes he'd ever truly seen, they were like the bright blue sky above him, nothing at all like Peter's, but a beautiful blue that looked as if they were made specifically for this human here. Despite thunder rolling across the sky and lightening flashing like neon signs in the dark sky.

He could hear more people joining the two human's and he took that as his cue to leave. he ducked into the water swimming down into the dark depths, his chest fluttering with a warmth that spread to his belly making it feel both nauseous and airy at the same time as he smiled to himself his cheeks becoming hot again. Those blue eyes haunted him, despite how foggy they were and it made him excited to see how they would glitter with full alertness. He smiled as he laughed swimming home, aware of how the storm was just staring but was now happy he had been there to save that human, happy he did some good.

But this feeling it was unlike anything he'd ever truly felt before. He rushed home when a small tingle of worry and fear settled into his stomach at this feeling and he wanted to be in the comfort of his mother. He hurried home with small, fast breathes leaving his lips as he sway when he crashed into someone. He jerked when he saw the long locks of sunshine blonde hair that identified his mother to him and he gripped her arms desperately.

"Mother!" He gasped sounding like a man that just got his first breath of air as he clung to her, his green eyes wide along with her own glistening jade greens.

"Arthur! Where the hell have you been?" She finally shouted as she gripped Arthur's shoulders hard before squeezing the fifteen year old to her chest hugging him tightly and moved her fingers over his soft hair. "I've been searching everywhere! You were supposed to come home at the first sign of a storm! What have you been doing?

"Mother, I...I saved a drowning human. And..And I feel..weird." Arthur stuttered out as his cheeks burned making his mother look at him curiously before her eyes turned cool.

"A human?"

"Yes! Mother, I'm scared I don't...I've never felt like this, I don't know what to do!" Arthur exclaimed with a shine to his eyes that signaled tears as he stared at his mother who's cool eyes turned compassionate and she held her son again.

"It will be alright, Arthur. This feeling will pass it's possibly just infatuation with him. Human's can be beautiful creatures, we cannot help but admire them you know? Whatever feeling you have will go away, I promise." His mother cooed softly to him and he relaxed accepting his mother's words as comfort and he rested his head on her shoulder, her floating hair tickling his cheek with the silky texture. "Let's go home, okay?"

"Okay."

As days turned to weeks Arthur couldn't help but feel anger towards his mother when this sensation in his chest flared to life whenever he thought of the drowning human that his mother said would go away. He still felt his cheeks become hot and his stomach coil strangely when he thought of the caramel hair and foggy blue eyes, the shape of his lips. He hated it yet he loved the thought he could feel this way. Him! His brother's always lamented that he would never fall in love for he wasn't passionate enough to get the attention of a mermaid or merman. But how would his brother's react if he said he was mooning over a human male? Bridget, since finding out Arthur was liking someone, supported him from day one and beat their brother's if they began to make fun of him.

"Arrrrthurrrrr~" Arthur groaned when Peter hugged him around his middle making him jerk, Bridget swimming in as her green eyes flicked between Arthur then at Peter with a gentle narrowing of her eyes. "What's wrong with you, Arthur?"

"Nothing!" Arthur snapped as Peter's eyes widened with surprise and Arthur looked at his little brother.

"Don't worry he's just mooning over a boy~" Bridget assured Peter when hurt crossed his face and he moved to his sister who held him to her chest stroking his hair softly and lovingly. Arthur decided, right then, now was the time to voice his thoughts he'd had as of late.

"I want to be human." Arthur suddenly announced making Bridget and Peter jerk hard when their eyes widened greatly at their brother's words. He dragged his eyes from the window with a look that showed how serious he was. "I want to be human."

"Why? You have a perfect life as a merman, don't you?" Peter exclaimed with confusion written on his face when his eyes met Arthur's only for the male to turn his eyes away as he clenched his jaw gently. "Arthur?"

"Arthur, is the male...is he human?" Bridget asked quietly as her eyes locked onto Arthur who looked up and nodded softly. "No, Arthur, god no! Was it the day of the storm?"

He was silent but he nodded when he straightened up suddenly making the two siblings stare at him with curiosity. "I'm going to the Sea Witch!"

"No!" Bridget and Peter screamed when Arthur swam past them quickly and was zooming from their home but the siblings were hot on his trail, Bridget's hair waving like a bright orange flag as Peter stared at Arthur with concern as they both reached out and grabbed his hands.

"Let go!" Arthur shouted shaking his arms hard to get his younger brother and elder sister off of him, his eyes narrowed softly. He glared at Bridget then at Peter shaking his arms harder. "I said let go!"

"No! Not until you get that crazy idea out of your head!" Bridget screamed as she stared at her little brother, her eyes shining with tears.

"Seriously! It's stupid, Arthur! The Sea Witch would never give a simple transformation of merman to human to an important merman like you for free! She'll take something from you!" Peter shouted desperately as he held on tight with Bridget until he began to swim and yank his arms forward.

"I said let me the hell go! " He shouted when he finally got his arms free and was barrelling forward and Peter shared a look with Bridget. Her head nodded and they took off after Arthur, hot on his tail. Literally! "Leave me alone!"

"No! Why do you want to be human and be with some stupid male you saved anyway!" Bridget shouted at him with an emotion in her eyes Arthur had never seen but he clenched his hands tightly.

"Because I love him!"

"You don't even know him!"

"What does it matter to you! You don't rule my life!"

"It matters because you're my baby brother! I can't let you do something so reckless!" Bridget screamed as she looked at Arthur as tears welled in her eyes as their eyes locked but Arthur shook his head feeling a hot sensation.

He turned swimming away from them not exactly surprised when they didn't follow him this time or scream at him some more but he did look down guiltily as he swam. He felt guilty, he felt bad, he felt like an asshole, but God this is what he wanted! His siblings never knew but each day, anytime he could get to the surface, he'd stare at the shore where he'd brought the drowning human and when he showed up he'd stand for hours and Arthur would feel a deep ache to move up to the shore and join him.

But he couldn't, he never could, for he didn't have the legs;only a tail and was a merman and the other human. He needed to be human as well if he ever had any hopes whatsoever about joining the other male. And he wanted too. God did he want too. He swam and swam as he got further and further away from home, the Sea Witch's home pretty far from his home; it was at a drop off near the edge of this sea before it dropped off into the deep ocean.

Arthur was determined to get there, he'd get there, he'd get there and he'd join that other male and he'd be happy. He took a deep breath aware of what he would be giving up by doing this; his mother, his brother's, his sister, his HOME. He knew but he still kept going. This male haunted his dreams for days, weeks, and he was ready to go by his side and get it to stop by being by him. But he knew, without his tail and fins, he wouldn't feel like the Arthur he was now but some part of him was perfectly okay with it. He swam and swam, aware of when his tail ached lightly from the swimming but he saw the alcove that would lead to the Sea Witch's den and he dove down swimming towards it.

He was taken aback when many underwater vine creatures with thorns, each more poisonous than the last possibly, lunged at him. He was able to swim and avoid each one that reached towards him until he felt tired at the edge of that horrid path. He now floated in front of the Sea Witches home and so he swam in. He looked around curiously as he moved down the entrance way when he took a gently turn entering a room that looked like it was filled with potions, ingredients and a large cauldron.

"Hehehe~ What a cute Merman I have here~" A voice cooed in his ear taking him by surprise and he jerked away from the voice to the other side of this den, lightly bumping a case. The owner of the voice was a woman, the lower half of her body was black masses of squirming black forms. She had large breasts with what looked like the top of a dress covering them thankfully; her appearance she was beautiful and not the ugly hag so many thought her to be. She had long, silky strands of brown hair with large green eyes that glowed with appreciation as she looked at Arthur.

"Are...Are you the Sea Witch?" He asked with a slight stutter as his green eyes met hers and she smiled with satisfaction when she moved across the room, the action disturbing in and of itself, before settling herself down in this grooved lounge/chair and leaned on her elbow as her fingers played with one of her floating strands of hair.

"Who's asking?" She replied as she looked at Arthur with interest, a smile curving halfway over her lips as she stared over Arthur. "What a beautiful colored tail~ I don't think I've ever seen such a beautiful, vibrant green before."

"Tha..Thank you?" Arthur sounded confused as his brows pulled together tightly staring at what he assumed was the Sea Witch.

"Oh you're welcome~" She cooed as she leaned her back against that smooth side of her sitting area; letting her bent arm dangle down, fingers barely brushing the floor as she smiled pleasantly at Arthur. "But since you have such proper manners I will introduce myself. I am Elizaveta, The Sea Witch."

Arthur stared wordlessly at her for a few moments before going to speak, genuinely surprised at how easily she gave her name. "I'm Art-"

"Arthur. I know who you are, little merman. And I know why it is you have come to me," Elizaveta gave a grieving sigh as she threw an arm over her forehead in a forlorn way. "Love is so heartbreaking isn't it? Watching your beloved from afar but unable to join him, pining until you no longer can take it! Oh! Love is a sickness I swear!"

"How do you know that?" He asked squinting when Elizaveta shot forward so fast he didn't have time to jerk away or gasp before her face was right in front of his, her hair floating in thick, silky brown locks.

"I know because I've watched and observed. And I know you long for the man of the shore but you cannot have him. It's been what? Six weeks since you've saved the poor human? No. I correct myself, it's been six weeks and four days, according to your counting." Elizaveta said as she stroked her long, black nails down his cheek and he inhaled sharply staring at her, getting lost in her words then before she pulled away. "Now tell me, darling, what do you wish from me? Anything you can give I can provide! Want blue hair? Oh! Purple irises? Green sclera? Different colored tail? Want someone blinded? Want a curse on someone? Want a cure? Come to Elizaveta the Sea Witch, the one who can provide with all! Given you can give me something in return~"

"I...I..." Arthur felt his head spinning the longer he stared and talked to this woman before she giggled, her strange black tentacle things moving for her as she moved to a case and began looking through the shelves when she smirked turning her head to look at him slightly over her shoulder.

"Yesss? What do you want, Arthur?" She cooed again as her hands sought out the items she needn't look at.

"I want to be human!" He declared as his eyes flared with determination and the Sea Witch grinned in a way that Arthur could not bring to call her Elizaveta in that moment.

"Human, hmm? I can do that! But first, you must give something to me." Elizaveta smiled as she held jars in her hands and began to dump them into her cauldron in random flares.

"Well what do you want?" He asked as he tilted his head watching with fascination as she threw in the jars at random.

She grinned that grin again making shivers run down his spine unpleasantly and she reached a hand across her cauldron and stroked down his cheek, across his jaw and down his throat. "I heard you singing, long ago with your siblings. Such a stupendous voice, so clear and crystal like~ Oh I love it to this day~! It just haunts my dreams!" She giggled then slid her hand away from Arthur's throat with a sigh. Then grinned again. "I want your tongue and voice, Arthur."

"Then how will I speak with him?" Arthur asked before he said the words he knew would seal his fate in a matter of minutes, maybe even seconds.

"Your eyes. They are beautiful enough, plus you can gesture with your hands what you want, can't you?" Elizaveta said offhandedly with a wave of her hand and Arthur sighed as he stared at the woman with disdain. But in his mind, for a brief moment, those blue irises that haunted him day in and day out, in his dreams, flashed through his minds eye so fast he couldn't keep up with it when he sucked in a breath and held his hand out.

"I'll give my voice, if you make me human." He said determinedly as the Sea Witch cackled and took his hand only for the cauldron to explode with a red sort of smoke and she scooped a vial in the cauldron and held out a small bottle with red liquid within.

"Wait until you are near the palace of that man, near the shore, to drink this. You've never walked with legs so you will have to be near the shore so you don't drown. I will tell you one thing, boy." The Sea Witch said as she looked at the blonde who stared at the bottle then looked at the woman. "If you get this prince to love you and marries you, then a part of his soul will flow into you and you will live as a human with him-die as a human. But if you cannot get him to love you and he marries another then you shall dissolve into sea foam."

"Alright." Arthur nodded strangely feeling no fear as he swam out of the Sea Witches domain and the Sea Witch smirked to herself as she settled herself back into her seat as the merman swam away.

Arthur swam up to the surface, breaking through the smooth lining with a splash and a gulp of air. He swam forward, to the shore, his mind preparing for the loss of his tail and fins as he swam closer to that sandy surface that beckoned him like a beacon. He felt both scared and excited as he swam forward and when his tail began dragging against the sea floor he dragged himself forward to the sand but splashed his tail lightly in the water, savoring the feel of moving it for one last time. He then lightly hummed, then sang belting out beautiful notes for the last time as well. He knew, knew, he'd never speak or sing again and now was the time to do so. He sang and sang, for minutes and minutes, until hits throat ached from the singing and he uncorked the small vial, lifting it to his lips and tossed it back.

He swallowed as he sat there, vial dangling from his fingers as his head head tilted back still as he looked up. Then, like a burst out of nowhere, a pain like swords sliding into his body assaulted him and he opened his mouth screaming at the pain of it until no sound, not even a scream, could come out now as he gasped. The pain went on for eternity, it felt but after some minutes, as he laid back on the sand, feeling tears rolling down his skin he went to move his tail but felt one side move. He gasped again, wondering if his tail was permanently damaged or something so he sat up fast when he noticed it was not a tail anymore. Legs! He had legs!

"Are you okay?" There was a voice making Arthur look up and he felt his eyes widen only to slowly smile. It worked.
