The Lethal Mermaid

Once upon a time, there is a magical kingdom beneath the ocean, the Atlantis.

The kingdom was full of mermaids and mermen and all the other sea creatures. King Triton, the ruler of Atlantis, had 12 daughters. They all share different types of beauty and skills but the most unique of them all is the youngest named Ariel.

Ariel has the most beautiful voice in the ocean, everyone would always be mesmerized when she sing. She was the favorite daughter of the king, and she grew up getting what she wants and always have the best thing for her.

One day, Ariel swam out of the Atlantis, exploring the ocean until she saw a wrecked ship which may have sunk years ago. Ariel swam in and found incredible things that was new to her. She collected it and ask what was it and then she knew it was from the humans.

King Triton forbid everyone to get closed to humans. If they ever encountered a human they have to sing until the humans became deaf. The king has great hatred to the humans because they killed Ariel's mother.

Setting aside the anger of her father, Ariel collected human things until she saw a ship sailing above the sea. She took a glimpse in the ship then she saw the most handsome man she can only see in her dreams, he was a prince based on his clothes and how the sailors bowed to him. With just one look, Ariel fell in love with this man.

Ariel knew that once they were seen by humans they can be killed. So she swim and find things that can lead her to this man.

Her findings got her to this witch called Ursula, she has eight black tentacles like an octopus.

Ursula knew what Ariel wants. She offered Ariel to become a human and get to know this Prince but it has a price, her voice. And a condition, if she made the prince fell in love with her and kissed her she can stay human forever but if not she will be back into a mermaid in a month and lost her voice forever.

Without thinking twice Ariel agreed on it and Ursula gave her a vile that she has to drink for her to become human.

As soon as Ariel got the vile, she hurried and swim to the shore and drink up the vile.

Ariel's tales formed into legs but she lost her voice.

Ariel was so happy she got her very own legs, she tried them by walking but she is always falling and everystep she takes is a torn on her feet.

Ariel hear some men chuckled and saw them going to her direction, she hurried and found a place to hide, she found a broken boat, she ignored the pain and quickly jump into the boat and hid.

When she ensured that the men were gone she get up and to her surprise a handsome men is looking at her.

"What are you doing here? And where are your clothes?" Asked the man which is also the prince.

Ariel didn't know anything about the human's clothes, she is completely naked. The man took of his coat and put it on Ariel's body.

Ariel was so much more in love with the prince when he carried her to the palace. She can see his dark hair blown by the ocean breeze and how his innocent eyes stare to her. She felt like she was drooling.

When they came in the palace the prince's butler was shocked at the woman he brought but also amazed at her beauty. Everyone in the palace was amazed at her there is only one problem, she cannot speak.

Ariel only uses her hands and gestures to tell them what she wants. Everyone treated her like a princess, the royal family adopted her.

All day she is with the prince, playing and discovering new things with him. Ariel was so in love she wanted more but she can't speak. She cannot say what she truly feels.
