Back on the surface, both Princes were distracted with the  voices of those who saved them. Wondering who they were.

Prince Eric walked into the big hall where his mother and brother sat for breakfast. A bandage wrapped around Erics head.

Philip listened as his mother spoke about Eric and this mystery girl. As he thought about the girl he saw on the beach. "She is real, I know she is, for me and for Eric" Philip said standing abruptly. The queen turned her gaze to her eldest son and said "please don't tell me you are fixated on some mystery girl as well?" Philip sighed heavily. "It's hard to explain mother" as he sunk back into his chair thinking  to the moment he met her eyes on the boat.

Philip turned to his brother and asked "How are you feeling?" Gesturing to his head. Walking up next to Eric's side. "I'm fine" he said waving off Philip. The Queen spoke before either brothers could, "have some breakfast, please?" Eric simply looked to Grimsby and asked "any sign of that girl yet? Grimsby?"

"Uh we looked Sire, there was no girl, you were lucky to have made it to shore before you passed out." "She was real she saved my life, as well  Philip was saved." Eric said determined.

"Sit down Eric" the Queen pleaded. "I'm not hungry mother" "I'm worried about you. You've not been yourself since the shipwreck"
Eric ignored the Queen asking, "have you checked the neighbouring islands yet?" "Not all of them but..." Grimsby begun before Eric interrupted. "Then I will" Philip stood up besides his brother a hand on his shoulder. "Then We will" "your not leaving this castle until you are feeling better."

Eric went to question her when she got up and walked to Eric hands on his shoulders. "May I remind you both, that a deadly shipwreck brought you  to me." "And I almost lost you  to the last one, we cannot keep tempting fate, it is to stop!" "So no more voyages" both men looked to their mother  to question against it but her tone said it was final. Eric sighed heavily and left the room.

The Queen turned to her eldest, "please look after him, a look of sadness written across her face. "I will mother" he said before following after his brother.

"All I ever wanted

Was the open sea and sky

Freedom from the life I always knew

Now, all I am is haunted As days and hours roll by

All I ever think about is you

There you are

Over me

Taking me with your song

To wild uncharted waters

Miles beyond the sea

I was darkness bound

I had almost drowned

Till you came around And you found me

Now I am on the shoreline

But I'm still lost at sea

In these wild uncharted waters Come find me

Again

All I do is wonder

Who you are And where you'll be

In my mind Your melody goes on

Stronger than the undertow The night you rescued me

Silhouetted by the rising dawn

Oh, ohoh

(ARIEL VOCALIZING)

Over you

I cannot get over you

In wild uncharted waters

Beyond where man can see

When your eyes outshine The horizon line

And you're finally real Here beside me

Now I'm right here On the shoreline

I'm right where you left me

And your voice is like

A siren that guides me

To wild uncharted waters

Alone, just you and me

And I hope you're there In the open air

There's no map or compass To guide me, no

Time may change the shoreline

But time will not change me

If it takes my life

I will finally find you again

In uncharted waters

Come find me

Again"

Philip found his brother sitting by the rocks, he sat next to him hand on his back offering the comfort they both needed.
