(This is a revised version of Moon Light Transformation. I felt that this story needed to be cleaned and fixed up a bit. I'm going to try go more in depth of the backgrounds of characters and fix my writing a bit more. Many characters may change and some may not exist anymore. I'm hoping to adapt this rough draft of story into a comic...it helps me to write here lol...Hope you enjoy). Luke Crane, son of a fisherman and brother of a little sister, lives in Ashcreek, a town known for the legend of mermaids. After one night of partying and getting caught in waves, Luke is saved by a mysterious figure and discovers a hidden truth of his past and learns that the legends are true.
