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.

Being the youngest daughter of the king of the seas, Triton, Ariel was always prone to rebellious behavior. Instead of attending concerts or practicing the duties of a princess, she preferred spending her time salvaging trinkets off of sunken ships and catching glimpses of humans. She wanted nothing more than for her fins to be replaced by legs so she could lead a life on land. Her father could never understand and became outraged with even the idea, driving his daughter off to visit the sea witch, Ursula. She made an offer that was impossible to refuse, Ariel would have her legs, her prince, and everything she could have ever wanted. All she had to do was have true love’s kiss before the sun set on the third day, without the use of her voice. She agreed, and was, in the end, successful when Prince Eric came to her rescue and destroyed the evil sea queen. When all was said and done, her father was finally able to see the truth and granted her her dream: legs. Her new life was spent on land, she married Prince Eric and they found themselves blissfully happy, often spending time on the beach and exploring the world and all it had to offer. Everything was perfect, until one morning when she awoke in her bed and felt a familiar emptiness, the same one she had felt when she made her original deal. Her voice was gone and outside the window of their castle, lightning shot out of the sky repeatedly and the sea howled, something only Triton could order. She knew something had to be horribly wrong, so she left Eric, rushing out to the waters and in an instant, her legs pulled together, her skin turning once again into green scales as she was dragged into the blue abyss. In the home she used to live in, mermaids and mermen alike were cheering for an unsuspecting figure that sat on her father’s throne— Ursula. There she sat, triton in hand and her necklace containing Ariel’s precious voice. She was now a slave for taking the sea witch’s happily ever after once, but she refused to succumb to her circumstance. At night, she would steal the horrid necklace and rise to the surface, her former melody echoing through the waters in hopes of luring Prince Eric to her once again to rescue her. Every single night she would attempt, returning the necklace just before dawn, hoping with every fiber of her being that he would hear her siren’s song in time to find their happily ever after and make things right.

There was always one thing that would ring true in Ursula’s mind: she belonged on the throne of the sea. Not Triton, he was lowly, no better than a sea urchin, and should be bowing to her immense power. That dream had no merit in the sea though, she was cast off as a sea witch and left with no one but Flotsom and Jetsam to keep her company. In her solitary, she became powerful in potions and dark magic, further plotting the downfall of his majesty. All of her waiting came together when the youngest daughter of Triton, Ariel, was so desperate for a way out of this world and onto the land. She had the girl lured to her and made a binding contract that gave her more power than she could have dreamed of: Ariel’s voice, and a hold over Triton for his precious child. All seemed according to plan until the girl got close to reaching her true love’s kiss time and time again. At that point, Ursula had to get involved and dragged the girl by force back into the sea and held her as leverage against the sea king. Her plans were in action once more and the sea was in an uproar, until Prince Eric returned to save his princess and seemingly destroyed the witch. She drifted down to her lair in a severely damaged state and once again was forced to plot ways she could take over the sea. Things seemed hopeless, though pathetic mermaids and mermen wandered into her cavern looking for happiness at an alarming rate. It was when a young mermaid spoke of a Wishing Well that everything changed— she had a chance to change her whole life, find her happy ending. Shifting into her human form, Vanessa, she took no time in finding the sacred Well and wishing for everything she could ever want: her rightful rule over the oceans. The next time her eyes opened, she was sitting on the throne, surrounded by merfolk alike, all bowing at their new ruler. Everything was as she wanted, and with her newfound power, she sent chaos into the world above, making the seas attack the land and once again stealing the Ariel’s voice before dragging the princess back into her clutches. Her happily ever after was complete, with the sea at her command and a charming redheaded slave who would never steal her joy again.
