Chapter 3: A World Unknown

As their ship sailed to the New World far beneath the ocean waves not known to the world above was the of merpeople ruled sa pamamagitan ng King Triton the only child of the Greek God Poseidon long nakaraan he he took over his father's duties of controlling the seas and built a city of his own called Atlantica. After loosing his wife Athena years nakaraan he took every precaution to make sure his people never had contact with humans again especially his seven daughter they were all he had left of his beloved wife especially one in particular his youngest daughter Ariel not only did she look the most like her mother but she had the most beautiful voice just like hers it was something Triton treasured it was like she was still here when his daughter sang and he took every opportunity to share it with his people but lately Ariel hadn't been herself and Triton was concerned; "Has anyone seen Ariel?" No Daddy sinabi his daughter Attina his oldest "I'm sure she's fine Daddy" sinabi Aquata she's probably just out exploring you know how she is, "Yes I know I'm just worried about her that's all" We all are Daddy give her some time he nodded as much as his daughters tried to assure him nothing could stop him from worrying.
Meanwhile all alone in her grotto Ariel was feeling depressed not even her beloved human objects could cheer her she couldn't stop thinking of her beloved Prince Eric she remembered how she had saved him that faithful night dragging his unconscious body with all her strength to shore, how much she had sacrificed to be with him leaving her home, her family, and giving up her beautiful voice now she realized that she had fallen in pag-ibig to easily and now because of it she had a broken heart. Everything was so perfect Eric had been so bravo driving that ship right into Ursula he destroyed he along with all her magic spells and her father had become the Sea King and turned her into a human because he had finally understood about Eric and were about to have a real wedding when suddenly he took one glimpse over his shoulder for a moment he shook his head then looked again his face was like he was seeing a ghost when I looked in his direction I saw what he was looking at it was a girl with long blonde hair and purple eyes I thought Eric would just ignore her and get back to the wedding but he kept glancing back at her through out the ceremony.
Finally it came to the part I had been waiting for we were almost man and wife "Ariel do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband for as long as you both shall live? I do I replied happily "And do you Prince Eric take this women to be your lawfully wedded wife for as you both shall live?" Eric didn't answer the priest right away I thought that perhaps he didn't hear him but when he asked the tanong again his reply shocked me " I, I don't I'm sorry Ariel but I can't marry you I do pag-ibig but I my puso belongs to someone else" he left me standing at the alter I watched as he ran towards the strange girl I could still hear their voices " O Odette is that really you? Yes Eric it really is me "Prove it" when she kissed him and my puso broke as tried pulling myself together as he smiled at her " Your alive but how?" I was kidnapped sa pamamagitan ng an evil sorcerer named Rothbart that night my father and I were heading tahanan from leaving your kastilyo when you announced to arrange our marriage well he wanted to get even after what my father had done to him years nakaraan he placed a spell on me making turn into a sisne but I couldn't leave him because as soon as the moonlight left the lake I turned back into a sisne and if I wanted to turn back into a human I had to be on it I never stopped thinking about you and I promised myself that I would find a way back to you and with the help of my mga kaibigan Speed, Puffin, and Jean Bob we destroyed Rothbart and I have been searching for you ever since but when I heard that you were getting married I thought that if I could make you see me that you would hahaha "Shh shh its alright I'm here I'll never loose you again I pag-ibig you Odette."
As I watched them halik again I couldn't hold it in anymore I started crying angrily Daddy was about to destroy the two of them as much as my puso ached I ran towards Eric and Odette placing myself in front of them "Ariel move" No Daddy I can't let you do this, "Why are you standing up for him he chose her over you" I know but he deserves to happy no one should marry someone they don't love; I smiled at them "Please take just take me home" he lowered his trident "Huah ah very well Ariel your right Prince Eric" Yes sire, "You truly do pag-ibig this women" Yes I do he sinabi as he smiled at Odette "Then I'm afraid I must erase your memory you won't remember a thing about my daughter it is to protect my people only that you have found each other" Very well if that is what must be done but before you do may I have a word with Ariel?; Daddy hesitated for a moment but agreed Eric came over to me I was still in my wedding dress "Ariel I'm so sorry that I hurt you I..." Shh its alright go to her you two were mean't for each other; he kissed my cheek then walked back to Odette hand in hand using his Trident daddy erased their memories and he turned me back into a mermaid. Sometimes I wonder if I could ever be part of that world again feeling the sun on my, the warmth of the sand maybe someday the one thing I'm unsure of the one thing I don't know is I can ever pag-ibig again.
