For as long as he could remember, Eric had loved the sea, the way it smelled and the way it lightly sprayed on a summer day. He spent all of his time sailing or being near it, never bothering with his princely duties, especially not finding a princess like Grimsby would have wanted. All of this changed when he was out sailing with his crew when a sea storm ripped through their ship and had him sinking to the bottom of the ocean. The next time he awoke, all he remembered was a blurred vision of a redhead caressing his cheek and a voice that could have stolen the hearts of millions. After that, he became fixated on the idea of finding this mystery woman who rescued him. He avoided his man servent’s nagging to meet with women who actually existed and stop imagining the perfect woman— just when Grimsby had enough of him, they found a beautiful redhead lost on the beach, though it couldn’t be his princess, she lacked the most important thing: a voice. Throughout the next two days they grew close and he hesitantly began falling for this strange woman, forgetting his imagined savior. That is, until one night he heard the familiar tone again and fell under a deep spell, where he was a soulless shell that set off to marry Vanessa. During the wedding, his spell was broken and he saved Ariel and the entire ocean from the evil sea witch. They then got married and lived a happy life on the land, finding true bliss and love in one another. He could never have imagined a better life, and as if the gods were against him, it was stripped from him. One morning, he awoke to find his princess not beside him in bed and outside a storm raged, the sea like a wild animal. Days passed and the storm settled, though he began losing his memory of his happily ever after. He searched the relentlessly for Ariel, though his memories of her were slipping away by the day. At night, he heard a familiar song from the waters, his memories almost completely gone, but he rushed to the beach to find his true love. By the time he got there, there was nothing left to find. His memories had all left him and he stumbled upon a new princess, The Evil Queen, who he instantly fell into a deep obsession with. The second he saw her he fell into a sort of trance, though every night it would break to hear the familiar song calling to him.
