Aristia - Peter Pan OUAT

8

Poseidon knew he was risking a lot visiting the woman who threatened his family time after time but from what he saw, he had no other choice. If he offered his soul for Ariel, he would offer his life for Arista. 

He would do anything for his daughters regardless of how often he doesn't show it.

Behind him, Sebastian kept protesting his worries. Over and over as they swam closer to the sea witches cave. "Sire, I truly must advise against this." He scrambled after his king trembling in fear as they neared.

An eel with yellow glowing eyes popped out of a hole and the lobster jumped screeching in terror. The eel narrowed his cold dead eyes on the Mer King and his advisor. 

Sebastian gulped and quickly swam up beside the King."Perhaps there is another witch or wizard we can ask. I heard of an evil queen in a nearby kingdom. Maybe she can help." He insisted desperate to convince Poseidon to leave.

Poseidon took a heavy breath. "There is not time, Sebastian. Ursula owes me a favour for allowing her to live in my seas alive."

Sebastian rushed in front of the king stopping him in his path. "But Sire-"

"Enough." The King barked. "Either you stay out here or you come with me." Poseidon swam around the lobster and Sebastian gulped in fear. Another eel popped out and Sebastian jumped before racing after his king as the eel watched the meal scurry away.

The cave was dark and watchful eyes of eels watched the Mer-King swimming into the sea witches abode. Sebastian remained close looking around warily as they enter the cave. The dark cave was illuminated by different potions and souls in bottles. Watchful eyes of Ursula's henchmen eels watched the duo and made a chill run down Sebastians shell. The dark setting contrasted to the glow from the trident in Poseidon's hand, lighting a way for them both.

"Ah, brother! I was wondering when you would reach out." The sea witch purred from her throne.

Poseidon stopped in the main room that was decorated by different bottles and potions. Some held ingredients, others held those lives of those unfortunate souls. Everyone watched the king warily. Sebastian gulped and hid behind his King.

Ursula sat on her throne that was made from stone and sea kelp. Her octopus tentacles outstretched over the arm of the throne as she slouched across it yet her eyes were on her brother. Her cheek rested in her fist narrowing her eyes curiously.

"Let me guess, another one of your daughters did something reckless and stupid?" She smirked. "I wonder where they get that trait from."

Poseidon took a heavy breath with a glare. "Enough. I allow you to live free after what you done to Ariel and Eric but I can still banish you from these seas."

Ursula's smirk vanished into a glare. "Then tell me, brother. Why are you here?" She spat.

Poseidon took a heavy breath. "My daughter was taken."

"Well I didn't do it." She scoffed.

"I wasn't blaming you." Poseidon stated crossing his arms over his chest, the trident illuminating in his hand.

Ursula's eyes flicker to the trident before back to her brother. Realization dawned and a smirk teased her lips. "You need help." She stated in amusement. "How alluring."

Poseidon glared. "You will help me or I will ensure you are banned from all seven seas."

Ursula clenched her jaw and sat up in her throne to face him. "Quite rude saying you are here asking for my help." She tilted her head.
