It was a crisp morning by the shore. Emma stood with her children, Maya and Lucas, watching them play in the sand. She had something special to show them—something they didn’t know about the sea.
“Come here, you two,” Emma called with a smile. “I’m going to show you something magical.”
Maya and Lucas ran over, eyes wide with curiosity.
“Today, the sea will change you,” Emma whispered. “You’ll become part of it.”
Before they could react, Emma raised her hands, muttering ancient words. Suddenly, Maya felt a tingling sensation. Her legs shrank, her arms turned into flippers, and soon, she was a sleek seal, sliding easily into the water with excitement. Lucas, too, felt his body change. His legs shortened, and he became a round, black-and-white penguin.
“MOM!” Maya chirped in surprise, her new seal voice sounding odd to her.
Emma laughed softly. “Now you’ll understand the sea’s magic. Play, explore, feel the world through your new forms.”
Maya and Lucas splashed in the shallows, laughing and sliding across the sand. Maya dove under the water, and Lucas waddled beside her, both full of joy in their new, wild bodies.
Emma watched them, her heart full. “One day, you’ll remember this magic,” she thought, as the sun dipped lower, bathing them all in golden light.
