"But what have I done?" King Laufey questioned when he was fully aware that he had just destroyed not only those horrible human things, but also a little of the relationship with the youngest of his children. Loki was crying hard when two eels Green color.

"Poor cute young boy"he muttered
"What it makes such a nice boy crying like this?"The other questioned

Green eyes lifted to see both eels swimming around

"Stop"he asked, trying to sound like the prince he is
"Prince prince, we're not going to hurt you"
"We're going to help you"
"You? How could you help me? "he question with a frown
"The young prince is right we can't help him"
"But we can guide him with who can help you"
"Who?"he questioned trying not to sound so hopeful
"Hela, the witch of the sea"
"Witch of the sea"A shudder ran down his spine

His rational side told his that he couldn't trust Hela but if his father didn't support him, maybe she would, she would surely have something that would allow him to see his beloved prince was just one more time.

"Come on, boy"ordered one of the eels
"Follow us little prince, we'll take you with Hela"he said, beginning to swim

Loki looked both ways to make sure no one saw him and followed them. When they reached a part of the ocean where there was not a trace of light, more that which came from a cave and was red. Loki swimming behind the eels, in the entrance were some disgusting worms that were twisting upwards to try to take what was swimming on them, he pushed himself with greater force with his green tail of fish when one of the worms managed to take his wrist and tear out a cry of terror. He twisted and pulled up and almost fell into the cave. From a hole came a woman with white skin, long and straight black hair and green eyes, half of her body was the tentacles of an octopus, who sat on a rock that had in front of it a mirror with beauty products, like hair cream and a red lipstick.

"Then little prince, it's here because you're in love with a human, the prince that, and I do not blame you. What an example, nice! The only way to get what you want. Is to become a human yourself"
"Can you do that?"
"My dear sweet child. That's what I do. It's what I live for. To help unfortunate merfolk, like yourself. Poor souls with no one else to turn to" finished drawing to paint his lips, then turn around and surround Loki and then take it from the chin

I admit that in the past I've been a nasty
They weren't kidding when they called me
Well, a witch

The eels passed around Hela.

But you'll find that nowadays
I've mended all my ways
Repented, seen the light
And made a switch

She swim to the cauldron and open it with magic, causing a red glow to flood the room.

And I fortunately know a little magic
It's a talent that I always have possesed
And here lately, please don't laugh
I use it on behalf
Of the miserable, lonely, and depressed

"Pathetic!" he whispered to his eels.

Poor unfortunate souls, in pain, in need
This one longing to be thinner
That want wants to get the girl
And do I help them?
Yes, indeed!

The smoke figures represent the situation.

Those poor unfortunate souls
So sad, so true
They come flocking to my cauldron
Crying spells, Ursula, please!
And I help them, yes I do

Fandral and Volstagg arrived at the site and swam inland to find Loki.

Now it's happened once or twice
Someone couldn't pay the price
And I'm afraid I had to rake 'em
'Cross the coals

Yes, I've had the odd complaint
But on the whole I've been a saint
To those poor unfortunate souls

She took a pink seaweed and wrapped it around Loki.

"This is the deal, I'll make a potion that will make you human for three days"the young attempt to get away from the woman's grip "Pay attention that this is important, before the sun goes down on the third day you should have managed to make the prince fall in love with you. That is, to give you a kiss, not just any, a true love kiss. If he kisses you before nightfall on the third day, you will keep your legs but if you do not, you will become a mermaid again and belong to me"
"No! Loki!" the crab tried to interfere but the eels covered his mouth
"Have we got a deal?"
"If I become human. I'll never be with my father, brothers or sisters again"
"But you'll have your man. Life's full of tough choices, inn'nt it? Oh, and there is one more thing. We haven't discussed the subject of payment"
"But I don't have any..."
"I'm not asking much, just a token. Really, a trifle. What I want from you is, your voice"
"But without my voice, how can I..."
"You'll have your looks. Your pretty face. And don't underestimate the importance of body language, Ha!"

The men up there don't like a lot of blabber
They thing a boy who gossips is a bore
Yes, on land it's much preferred
For lords not to say a word
And after all, dear
What is idle prattle for?

"Come on"

They're not all that impressed with conversation
True gentlemen avoid it when they can
But they dote and swoon and fawn
On a lord who's withdrawn
It's he who holds his tongue
Who gets his man

Come on, you poor unfortunate soul
Go ahead, make your choice
I'm a very busy woman and I haven't got all day
It won't cost much, just your voice

You poor unfortunate soul
It's sad, but true
If you want to cross a bridge, my sweet
You've got to pay the toll
Take a gulp and take a breath
And go ahead and sign the scroll
Flotsam, Jetsam, now I've got his, boys
The boss is on a roll
This poor unfortunate soul

Loki signed the contract.

Beluga, sevruga, come winds
Of the Caspian Sea
Larynxes, glacydis, ad max
Laryngitis la voce to me

"Now sing. Keep singing!"
