My Calling (AJR Metmaid Challenge)

Sapphire and teal shimmering scales lead down his waist, narrowing down to a beautiful fishlike tail. The fins at the end were long and thin. Adam wiggled his hips a little, causing a dazzling reflection of light on his shiny scales. At first he figured some huge fish had eaten his legs. But nothing that big would be in water this shallow, right? His mind could only come up with one more explanation.

Adam didn't have anything special about him. He mostly devoted his life to helping other people and the environment. When he saves a water spirit from being tangled in a fishing net, how do they repay him? By giving him a 'gift' that ends up being a major problem. How is he gonna balance the heavy secret of his new power along with his work, his family, and his friends?
