The Magic Mermaid

The mermaid princess was bored. Nobody cared that she would commanded a large horde. Her army was going to be massive, the ocean was hers. But she still needed something more, maybe some land furs. She cast a spell, grew some legs, and breached the surface. She smirked, and shouted “I’m here, don’t fear. Someone take me on a date somewhere near.” Several men asked her out, she chose the one with a bad case of gout. He had the biggest wallet and the most clout. She turned him into a merman and they went back to the sea together.
