Waves crash against the rocky shore as you make your way across the secluded Californian beach. The sun has dipped below the horizon, casting an otherworldly glow across the landscape. You spot the small, rocky island not too far from the coast, its jagged cliffs rising ominously from the water. The island is strangely uninhabited, as if the life on this world had forsaken it. Curiosity pulls you in, and you decide to swim towards it.
The water is colder than you expected, chilling you to the bone. Yet there is a strange warmth that seeps through as you near the island. As you step onto the shore, a sudden sensation sweeps over you, like the island itself is alive and taking notice. You look around, seeing nothing but rocks and echoes of past, untold stories.
Suddenly, you feel a pulling force, almost like an invisible hand guiding you deeper inland. You collapse to your knees, a sharp pain shooting through your legs. You cry out in alarm as your legs begin to fuse together, your flesh knitting itself into smooth, violet scales. Bones crack and reset, reshaping into a powerful tail, complete with a gleaming fin at the end. Smaller fins sprout near your torso, adjusted perfectly for underwater navigation.
"What... what is happening to me?!" you scream, but your voice is swallowed by the roaring winds.
Your skin starts to change color, bleaching itself to a deep violet with a pale white underbelly. A sudden elongation of your form makes you glance at your reflection in a pool of water. A lean, athletic body now replaces your previously human figure. You grip your neck as three gill slits form on each side, allowing you to take sharp breaths both in and out of water.
Your fingers tingle, nails sharpening into retractable claws. Sharp fins sprout from your elbows, and with terror, you feel your nose shrinking away, leaving only your nostrils. Your scream catches in your throat as your teeth lengthen into sharp rows of fangs, made for tearing through flesh. An eerie light appears on your forehead, a lure for the unwary.
"Dad... Mom... HELP!" you shout, but even as you say the words, they lose meaning. Were those names real? Did they ever exist?
Memories flash before your darkening eyes, now turning to pure black. You no longer see the beach or the island; you see the ancient seas off the coast of Greece. Parents, gentle and loving, guiding you through your childhood in Sirenum Scopuli. Their whispers resonate within the depths of your mind.
"You are meant for greatness, Ares."
"Never forget who you are, my son."
Then, the tragic day. Odysseus, the so-called hero, muttering darkly, "Exterminate these creatures before they prey on more humans."
You remember the agony, the sight of your parents' tails being severed, their desperate cries as they sunk, unable to swim without their tails. Your own survival, hiding, waiting. Your rage, festering over millennia.
You shake your head, but these thoughts—alien yet familiar—embed themselves deep. Unshakable. Irremovable.
A voice cuts through the haze: "There, my love." A siren, beautiful and predatory, swims up to you, mirroring your newfound form. Her voice sings to your soul, and you remember her. Your mate.
"Glaukos, you're finally awake."
You step towards her, no longer confused, forgetting any life before her. "I've had the strangest dream," you murmur. "I was... human."
She smiles, caressing your face. "Just a dream, my dearest. Now, let's hunt."
Your children join, their laughter filling the nights.
You swim through the waters, your song haunting and beautiful. A vessel nears, drawn by a false sense of calm. The humans gaze at you, mesmerized by your siren song, unaware of the looming danger.
Their voices, desperate, reach your ears. "Who are you? Help us!"
But their cries are meaningless. You are ancient and primal, a predator of the sea. "Humans call me Glaukos," you say, "But to my kind, I am a hunter."
Your family surrounds the men, ready to feed. They are your pride, your joy, your reason for existing.
The memories of human life dissolve like mist. This island is your home, and these waters, your hunting grounds. Here, you live timelessly, forever bound to your siren nature. You spare none, for you remember Odysseus' lessons too well: humans are the true monsters, and you, you are merely reclaiming the ocean from their barbaric clutches.

Prompt: Write the POV transformation story of the male human turning into a siren (a mythological man-eating mermaid) male, complete with body changes (his human legs fusing to become a mermaid tail with a fish fin at the end (as well as small fins by the sides close to his torso), his skin bleaching itself to be violet in color with a white underbelly (chest and belly), his body becoming lean and athletic, three gill slits forming on each side of his neck (to allow him to breathe underwater in addition to air), his fingernails sharpening into claw-like nails (which can retract to avoid scratching other sirens), sharp fins growing from his elbow, his hair lengthening to reach his shoulders, his human ears turning into fins in their place, his human nose shrinking away to leave only his nostrils, his human teeth growing and sharpening into a predator's rows of teeth/fangs, an anglerfish-like lure growing on his forehead (to aid him in seeing in the fog and in the dark), his human eyes darkening to be completely black in color, etc), voice change, supernatural powers gain (gaining him the ability to make hypnotic and hauntingly alluring/melodious voices/songs to attract his victims, the ability to shapeshift to resemble his victims' loved ones or desired love to attract his victims (only the upper half of his body like the torso, arms, and head can shapeshift, so he usually hides his tail behind any object (rocks, etc) or under water) to attract victims, immortality so he cannot die from age nor diseases/viruses (since he is an immortal creature who had lived since during 40th century BC), and other powers to fit his species as a siren), age change, and mind/mental changes (with the reader's personalities and memories being completely replaced with a male siren's personality and memories, despite the reader's best efforts of fighting his/her new personality and memories, making the reader completely forget he was a human being, even completely forgetting that the transformation that just occurred seconds ago, and only remembered ever being a male siren, realizing that he had always been a siren and never a human to begin with, and realizing that he was daydreaming about being a human a moment ago before he awoken to his true self (a siren)). The transformation is permanent (meaning it is forever) and is completely irreversible. The story is that the human reader is taking a stroll on a Californian beach and found a nearby rocky island surrounded by cliffs and rocks that was strangely not inhabited by any humans or other animals, so he takes a swim and goes to the island, only to feel the island (which actually closely resembles Sirenum Scopuli, a mythical island off the coast of Greece that was filled with sirens where the sirens lived and lured sailors to their deaths) literally changing him through a spell, causing his whole transformation into a siren to occur. After the physical transformation, which is terrifying to the human, the mind/mental change occurs, making him terrified of losing himself to the creature he is transforming into (he doesn't want to turn into a monster, let alone a creature that has eaten humans according to mythology); however, something in the human's, now the siren's, mind tells him that he is simply waking up from his false human life, which was not real and was only the dream that the siren himself had, before he started snapping out of it. After all that, he realized that he had always been a siren (which he realized, by now, are not monsters) since his birth (as a siren, his true self) in the seas off the coast of Greece during 40th century BC, having remembered being loved/cherished by his kindly/gentle parents, who were also sirens, before, when he was a teenager, this parents and the other sirens were tragically killed in Sirenum Scopuli during 8th century BC by the Greek "hero" Odysseus, king of Ithaca, who (along with Odysseus's crewmates), are not heroes to the sirens and they are viewed by the sirens as villains (especially Odysseus himself, who had a prejudice against sirens), since they didn't spare the male siren's family or the other sirens (despite the sirens' plead) and Odysseus (who believed that sirens should not live due to his fears of humans being preyed on by sirens, which the sirens never did until humans like Odysseus started killing the sirens), and his crewmates, had cut off his family's tails (as well as tails of the many other sirens) before dumping his family to the ocean to drown (since they couldn't swim without their tails), with few remaining sirens, including the male siren himself, having survived the genocide, and since then, the male siren has become avengeful for his parent's deaths against humans, who he sees are barbaric due to what they did to his parents and the many other sirens. Since then, the male siren has migrated to that island (the one where he dreamed of his false "human" life) that is located off the coast of California, where he since had company with his siren wife (which he genuinely loves and cares for) and his siren children (which he also genuinely loves and cares for, even playing with them and protecting them against harm), and he and his loving/cherished family had always been together devouring humans who either came to their island or got too close to their island, even to modern times in the 21st century (2024-2025). He is truly happy about his current life with his siren family, with a loving wife and playful children, and is happy to have never been human to begin with (since he knows that humans are barbaric monsters, and he is happy to know that he has snapped out of his human dream and back to his reality), with he and his family always having hunted human sailors who either came to his family's island or got to close to the island. There should be quotes from the characters in this story, from the human himself (as well as his siren self), as well as quotes from the siren male's family, and also include the quotes from the siren male's flashbacks (including quotes of those of his parents, as well as quotes of those of Odysseus and his crewmates, and quotes of those of the human prey/victims hunted by the male siren and his family), so we know what they're saying and what they're thinking (even including a name for the siren male once the transformation is over). Also, it is a POV reader story, so it should not be in an author's point of view (my, I, mine, etc), and it should be from the point of view of the reader (you, your, etc).
