The Little Mermaid (Thorki) [Adaptation] [#Wattys2019]

Part of your world

Loki removed his sheets of seaweed with extreme care, began to take care that his green fish tail will not cause much movement of the water to avoid awakening his brothers. He swim down the hall of the palace which was almost in complete darkness, but for the small fluorescent fish that worked by swimming to provide a little light. He avoided being seen by them and passed by his sisters' room and by his father's room. He swim to descend the stairs and went through the room of the different members who work in the palace, awakening with the movement of water to a certain crustacean. He opened the heavy gold door carefully and went out. His green eyes took a while to get used to the complete darkness, finding Farandal smiling at him and moving one of his blue fins in greeting.

"Come on" Loki said, taking one of his friend's fins to swim to his hideout, where he kept his human treasures
"Where are those two going?" Volstagg asked with a frown

When they arrived at what at first sight looked like a rock near the sand, the young man looked with his green eyes around to make sure that nobody was nearby, although he doubted it considering the time, he moved a flat rock that covered the entrance where first Farandal entered and then he, making sure he is back in his place. Volstagg swims as fast as his pincers allowed him to enter through the small hole that was left before the rock covered the entrance completely. At first glance, the place was dark but the filtration of light was visible, so he continued to find something creepy. The rocky formation had the shape of shelves that were full of human objects, the young man with long wavy black hair was sitting on a smooth rock and between his hands played with a fork.

"Loki?" Asked Farandal, surprised that his friend had not said a word

Volstagg frowns.

"Maybe he's right. Maybe there is something the matter with me.
I just don't see how a world that makes such wonderful things could be bad"

Look at this stuff
Isn't it neat?

Loki places the fork in the center of a three-branched candelabrum that was close to him.

Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?
Wouldn't you think I'm the boy
The boy who has everything?
Look at this trove
Treasures untold
How many wonders can one cavern hold?
Looking around here you think

The young man with black hair rose to touch some of the liquor stores that hung, while the crab saw him astonished through glasses.

Sure, he's got everything
I've got gadgets and gizmos a-plenty
I've got whozits and whatzits galore
You want thingamabobs?

He opened a box where he had different types of screws to show them to Farandal.

I've got twenty!
But who cares?
No big deal
I want more

He left it on one of his shelves and swam to recharge his head on a rock and caress with his long fingers the same, to then propel himself and turn the rest of a musical box where he showed a couple dancing.

I wanna be where the people are
I wanna see, wanna see them dancin'
Walking around on those - what do you call 'em?

He took the blue tail that his friend offered him to move playfully.

Oh - feet!

Flippin' your fins, you don't get too far
Legs are required for jumping, dancing
Strolling along down a - what's that word again?
Street

The green-eyed young man swam up with the fish and looking forward to the moonbeam that crept through the upper part of the cave.

Up where they walk, up where they run
Up where they stay all day in the sun
Wanderin' free - wish I could be
Part of that world

Volstagg walked carefully through the shelves to get out of there, however he was reflected distorted in a bottle, which scared him and made him go back and get stuck in a teapot.

What would I give if I could live out of these waters?
What would I pay to spend a day warm on the sand?
Bet'cha on land they understand
That they don't reprimand their sons
Bright young men sick of swimmin'
Ready to stand

Loki dropped into the sand and stretched through it while Farandal was buried beside him.

I'm ready to know what the people know
Ask 'em my questions and get some answers

He lifts around backwards being followed by his friend, he takes a book and flips through it to swim to the opposite side and touch with his thin fingers on the painting of a woman holding a candle, specifically in the figure of fire.

What's a fire and why does it - what's the word?
Burn?

Volstagg turned scared locked in the teapot.

When's it my turn?
Wouldn't I love, love to explore that shore up above?
Out of the sea
Wish I could be
Part of that world

The young man swam to the hole in the cave and raised his hand hopefully to the surface, then lower it as he let himself sink into the surface, while Farandal saw him with sadness through his blue eyes. When trying to free himself Volstagg fell with everything and the container causing it he could be free and a great uproar by hitting the ground

"Volstagg!"shout looking at him with frightened green eyes "Are you okay?"

The crab shook the sand.
"What is this?"
"It's my ... my collection" explain letting out a nervous laugh and expanding his hands in an attempt to avoid seeing them
"Your collection"said almost in a sarcastic way "Your collection! When your father finds out..."
"But he will not find out"Flounder intervened immediately
"Please Volstagg"Loki asked taking it between his hands "You aren't going to say it" he practically begged him
