Ashley drank the potion contained within a purple-hued, translucent glass bottle.

The potion tasted rather unpleasant and strong, like salt water. But as soon as she'd become accustomed to it, the second and third swallowed went much more easily.

The little quilava wiped her mouth and immediately felt her limbs stretching out in front of her. In her mouth, rows of incredibly shark teeth began to extend. She found herself sudden able to detect scents with alarming accuracy and distance.

A large tail shot out from behind her, startling her as the fin began to fan out at the end. As her arms and legs finished drawing, sharp claws formed on both her hands and her feet. Fins formed on her head and back, and she was suddenly incredibly knowledgeable about water navigation and longing for another day at the beach.

She smiled a toothy grin at me, and I smiled back. She didn't even need to ask. I took her hand and before it we found ourselves on the seashore, looking out on a beautiful, blue ocean.

"Thank you so much, Mom," Ashley said happily, hugging me close.

I smiled and kissed her on the head "I hope you enjoy it, sweetie."

I sat down in the sand and continued reading my book as Ashley ran along the shore, preparing for the greatest swim of her life!

Yeah, I decided to go for another fire-to-water motif on this one. It's been a very, very, VERY long times since I've tried to draw an anthro shark, so I wanted to give it another go. =)

Wow! We're finally on the home stretch here, and let me tell you, I'll be taking a very well-deserved break once this is said and done...

...Though I'll probably just continue catching up on commissions. ^^;

Anyway, I want to thank everyone who has taken part in this so far and I hope you guys have all been enjoying this!
