THE MYTHICAL CREATURES MEME

HOW IT WORKS:

You can either use the RNG or pick whichever creature you like.
Leave a comment with your muse. Now they are a mythical creature.
Others will tag your muse as a different or the same magical creature, or a human, or what they naturally are, or whatever they like.
If you'd prefer, all these creatures can appear human, but shift between forms.
Have fun!

[He paused, then poked his head out of the water.

Swimming in a little, he braced himself in the sand and propped his shoulders out, grinning.]

Over here, Fluttershy!

[Finally spotting him, she carefully wades over, trying to keep her balance as the waves push and pull along the shore line.

She barely reaches him before a particular wave crashes over them, and stumbles with a squeak.]

Fluttershy! [He swam up to her, pulling himself a bit on the sand to do so, and taking her hands to pull her up.] You alright?

[She coughs, sputtering a bit. Some of her hair had fallen loose from the braid and covered her face, sticking to her skin.]

Y-Yes, I'm...I'm okay...

[He breathed out a short laugh and brushed her hair back, smiling softly.]

That's good. Wouldn't want ya to hurt yourself out here.

[She blinked a little, glancing up at him when he brushed back her hair. Then she blushed.]

Mm...th-thanks...

Good. [Then he brightened a little.] Ready?

[She nodded slightly.] R-Ready.

Okay! [He swam backwards and spiraled a little into the deeper water, then popped up again.]

C'mon!

[She followed him, and when it eventually got deep enough that she couldn't stand any longer she swam over to him, trying to stay afloat.

It's a good thing she wouldn't be doing any actual swimming, because she's not very good at it.]

[He smiled and came up beside her, keeping pace.]

Alright, when you're ready just grab onto my shoulders, okay?

[The color on her cheeks darkened.] O-Okay...

[Very slowly, she reached out and grabbed on, holding on as best she could.]

[Once he felt that her hold was solid he started forward, swimming easily along the surface of the water, steadily moving away from shore in long, gradual zig-zags.]

[She gasped when he started, having to hold on tighter by wrapping her arms around him.]

Just tell me if I'm going too fast, alright? [He glanced back over his shoulder with a smile.]

[Looking at him, she smiled shyly and nodded.] O-Okay...

[He nodded, then swam out a little further ahead. As they left the close sight of the shore he started swimming straighter, following the line of land.]

[As they swam out farther, she strengthened her hold just a bit. The water was pretty deep now, well above what she was used to. As long as she was with him, though, she knew she'd be all right.]

['Course she'd be. Even as they went further out he still kept it nice and even, pacing the kicks of his fins.

Glancing up with a blink, he smiled and gestured.] Hey, look!

[She looked in the direction he indicated, and spotting the familiar signs of dolphins she smiled, relaxing a little.]

Oh wow...!

[He glanced over his shoulder with a small chuckle, slowing his swim.] Wanna say hi?

[Glancing at him, she giggled and nodded.] Y-Yeah...!

[He grinned at her response and turned out toward the fins on the horizon.]

Take a quick breath, alright? I'm not gonna dive, but calling them over will require me gettin' my head underneath. [He snickered a little.] Wouldn't want you taking a mouthful of ocean on accident.

Okay...

[She did as he said, taking a breath and holding it.]

[When she did that he slowed to a stop, then ducked his head underneath, still doing his best to keep from dunking Fluttershy as well, even with the preparatory breath.

A few noises emit from his throat, sounding extremely dolphin-like; apparently they were heard, because the fins ahead of them stop, whorl around in the ocean, and then start heading their way, with their owners occasionally porpoising out of the water.

Popping his head back out, Chris glanced around them with a smile when the pod surrounding them, chittering happily, and he laughed a bit, taking up a more easy position in the water. Two dolphins swam up to them directly and he placed his hand on one when it nosed him, and he gave Fluttershy a grin.]

Fluttershy, this is Click- [He gestured to one, then to the other.] -and Whistle.
