Lehuoh Changes
Without opening his eyes, Lehuoh stood up and wandered out into the cold night. He stood on the frozen surface of the small lake. The air was crisp and still, and a thousand stars twinkled in the black sky. The silver moon shone brightly down on his beautiful face. Suddenly the ice began to crack. Never opening his eyes, Lehuoh plunged into the dark, icy waters. Down, down he went, further and further toward the bottom.
The baby turtle spread its powerful legs and kicked, and down the pair sped. Swiftly they glided toward the bottom of what now seemed to be an immense sea. Finally Lehuoh saw the bottom. The turtle glided gracefully down to it; Lehuoh let go and stood in the sand.
Lehuoh jerked once and lost consciousness. His body went limp as a cloud of blood formed in the water around his crotch. His body began to float upwards.
In one great gulp Aru swallowed everything, and a large smile formed on his face. Then his whole body began to shake uncontrollably. His little hands and feet were now becoming powerful, orange pincers. Hard, orange shell formed where pink flesh once was. Two long antenna shot out of the top of his head. Two crusty orange legs exploded out of his sides as he fell to the sea floor. Aru scampered about the sand on six ancient, orange legs. His crusty, orange body shook violently and his broad, hard tail dragged in the sand.
