One:How it Started

"Only one mermaid can save you from pain..." "just pay the price and you'll have him" "give that to her and she'll grant your wish" That's how we know Ursula lives. Taking your soul, voice or whatever.. play dirty.. she isn't the one good mermaid but she has a story to tell. URSULA the bad mermaid have a story to tell. -0-0-0-
It started that one night... "Drink up! It's all on me~" lukas said. Lukas is the prince who love adventures. He travel along with his trusted 65 men. He sails from north to south using his huge ship with everything a sailor wishes to bring on sea. That night... the whole crew of Prince Lukas discovered a new island full of things that can help people in his kingdom. So they celebrated after marking the island as his. On the sail, they partied so much. They eat plenty of foods,drank as many liquors as they can, dance to the sound of the harmonica and the sea... Prince Lukas got their attention by showing them all his statue made by one of the crew. "Look everyone! This statue... does it look exactly as me?" He ask with a bit of doubt. The prince's crew stared at each other as if having a silent conversation between them. "C'mon! I can't read minds. Tell me if this statue look like me or not. I won't hurt you if you answer me. Go on." Some of the crew said that the statue looked like him and some didn't agree while the others are still having their mouth shut.
The prince let out a laughter then after awhile he tapped the shoulder of the one who made the statue. "Guess this statue doesn't look like me after all. Well, everyone let's have fun again!" After what he said, people continued the party they're having. Everyone is so engrossed to what they're doing that they didn't notice the change of mood the sea is having. From calm, it became more aggressive until a crew shouted from above the sail. "The ship is sinking! The ship is sinking!" That is followed by the sounds of bells and the crew immediately prepared the boat while the others made sure that the prince is okay and some even tried to save the ship. " Prince Lukas! Please get in the boat now! You're safer here!" The prince was about to get in the boat when he noticed that one of the crew is trapped under a collapsed sail post. He helped the crew to get out of it and told him to get in the boat. He was nearly out when the ship was eaten by a huge wave together with the prince. The rest of the crew travelled home thinking about the prince and praying for him to survive. Well, he did survive but that's another story to tell.

On the other hand, Ursula is currently looking for the ingredients she's about to use for a spell when she noticed a huge boulder shaped into what she fears the most... A human. Thinking that it really is a human, she immediately hid behind the huge corals until the human fell flat to the sea floor. It stays there for some more moments and noticing that it didn't move even a heartbeat, she swim towards it touch it with her sharp nails. After that she took a few spaces between them. Again the human didn't move. " Maybe he drowned." Then she toched it face "it's rough. Is this how humans feel like? But seeing them up there; they seem to have a soft face Maybe this one's different from them." She examine the human in front of her aome more before she decided to take it home. Bringing it her place isn't easy. It was so heavy that she almost tore her arms off. "You're so pretty. Are you alone when you went to the sea? What happened and you got yourself drowned? What... what's you name?" She touch its face once again until she noticed something written below its feet. "Why is there a stage on your foot? This might be the reason why you're so heavy." She examined the stone and saw a writing on it.

Lukas D' Von
Prince of Erenia

" So you are Lukas Di- Da- Well whatever Von. Lukas Von. Let's just remove this letter here." Then using her sharp nails, she scratch the letter off. "There now it's easier to read! Hi there Lukas Von!" Then she stretch her hands to him. After awhile, she realized that it will never respond so she take her hand back and smiled to it. After some more minutes of just staring at it; she yawned and her eyes are slowly closing. " Well I think I'll have some sleep for now. Goodnight Lukas!" Then she swim to her bed made out of corals and sea florals. "Oh! You might get cold! Here. Sorry for being rude awhile ago. Goodnight Lukas" then she goes back to her bed after giving her visitor a blanket made of soft seaweed. For many years, Ursula didn't felt alone.
