Description
Haven't done this in a long time... hahaha...Here's an excerpt from Phil's story continuation of Princess Anna:
"Princess Anna's situation seemed hopeless, she was now a mermaid forever and never to be with her one true love. A concerned mermaid came to Anna and told her of a sorceress that lived on an island many leagues away, that this sorceress might be able to help Anna become human once again. Anna prepared herself and started towards the island.
Anna followed the directions that the mermaid had given her, for days she swam and had the help of dolphins that give her rides. Along the way she had to hunt for own food and shelter.
Finally she reached the island of the sorceress, she crawled onto the island beach and fell asleep.
The next morning the sorceress found the mermaid on the beach still sleeping. She saw that the fins and tail fin were tattered to shreds! The sorceress lifted up the still sleeping mermaid and carried her off to her small castle. When the sorceress reached the outside of her castle she conjured a small pool for the mermaid and layed her beside it. For many hours Anna slept and then she woke up.
Anna saw the sorceress standing over her. The sorceress introduced herself as Jana, and now the sorceress wanted to know why a mermaid would show up on her beach.
Anna explained that she was once human and in her inpatience, went to a wizard and found a way to become a mermaid permanently so she could be with her merman love, except now her man love was human. Anna asked if the spell could be broken to make her human once again. The sorceress taken aback by the tale of the mermaid tells Anna that she will try her best to break such an unbreakable spell!
For weeks Anna regained her strength and her once tattered fins grew in once again. And the sorceress read through many spell books and notes, she took this request as a challenge.
Then one day the sorceress found a possible way to break the spell, she told Anna that she needed certain items that could only be found in the sea. Anna was given a list of the items which include a gold nautilus shell, a large white pearl, neptune's gold arrow, a gold dagger, and a gold key, and directions to where to find them. These were place inside a glass bottle. Anna was also given a net to gather all these items as well when she found them.
The sorceress told Anna that her present mermaid form would not do, Jana had enough magical power to change Anna's mermaid form! She needed a more formidable form in order to survive and to ward off predators. Sorceress decided to give her a new mermaid form, that of a shark mermaid! Anna was not pleased but she understood.
Anna endured hardships finding all these items, traveling hundreds of miles, encountering other mermaid races, making friends and enemies along the way. But she finally got all the items after nearly a year!
Now she waits on the beach for the sorceress. Hoping that this will make her human once more."

She's immense for a mermaid, but her upper body and expression are very good and the details and colors are excellent.
