Description
Secluded on an isolated island and known only to a few of the rich and powerful, an enchanted lagoon only sees a few visitors each year. A dip in its waters undoes aging and idealizes the form of those who swim in it. Some returning patrons have lived for centuries.
However, visiting has consequences which are exacerbated by each visit. The lagoon transforms swimmers in unpredictable ways. It starts small, with perhaps an extra finger or toe on the first visit, with subsequent transformations increasing in scale. After many visits, most patrons are barely recognizable. However, most are happy to adapt to their new bodies if it means agelessness.
Jessica Alba first visited the lagoon at age 70 and was restored to her physical prime, albeit with a forked tongue. Now, over fifty years later, the Alba Twins make a point of returning every five years or so.
