Luna's POV:

Alright, I'm in a dark hooded cloak, and in my only dress that makes me look pore—which is just smooth fabric and a belt. "I'm here, now let's go." There're crypts and tunnels under the palace and the city. If you don't have a map, then who knows how long you'll be stuck there. "Here, hold this dagger in case there's danger," Aqua said. "Okay first, there's always danger out in the sea," especially where we're going. "And second, where did you get this dagger?" "From my friends, I got one for each of us." "You should not be hanging around those people, Aqua. And did you tell them where we're going?" Lagoona asked. "No, I just told them since the princes are here, we might want to keep something with us in our rooms, in case they try something un-princy like." "Alright alright, let's just go," I said.
Each kingdom and/or city in the ocean is said to have its own witch, or someone who plays with dark magic. But our kingdom, has the darkest one of all. Victoria, the witch with a bargain, and who never gives back. She was banished after using so much dark magic; no one speaks her name, and even if they do, they shutter like a fish who's not comfortable in cold water.

🧜🏻‍♀️time skip🧜🏻‍♀️

"It looks like an old wrecked up pirate ship." "They were right, her front doors are guarded by sharks," Aqua said. "Great whites at that." "Well, we should just turn back now," Lagoona said. "Well someone has cold fins," Aqua said. "I do not—"
"Quiet, we are not going back now. We've made it this far, and it's a half hour swim back." "How are we gonna get in? We can't just knock on the door and ask," Aqua said. "Well—"
"What are you doing here?"
"Ahhhh!" Three mermaids with small daggers don't stand a chance against a shark. "They talk?" I said. "Of course, how else are we supposed to frighten your people and the fish. Now what do you want?" My sisters were holding on to each other shaking, they looked like squids about to squirt out ink.
"Is that the most powerful treasure in all the ocean?" The shark asked. I didn't realize the necklace—that is being hidden in my cleavage—came out from my dress till it scared us.
"Y-yes."
"Put down your hoods." We did as told, and the shark smiled so big, we could almost see all three hundred of its teeth. "Come with me."

🧜🏻‍♀️little time skip, brought to you by a pore unfortunate soul who wants to see a pirate. Who would do and/or give, anything to see him and the land up above🧜🏻‍♀️

"Well this is a surprise," ink black hair, deep purple eyes, and a black tail with silver at the bottom of the fins. "What brings the three princesses of The Blue Moon kingdom to my home?" We were already in, and the doors were guarded outside, swimming away would get us eaten. "Don't be shy, you can hang your cloaks on those hooks over there." It was almost hard to see, her source of light were jellyfish that glow in the dark. The only other light was coming from a room at the end of a hallway downstairs. "There's only one reason you're all here. Magic." "Yes, but only one of us wants it," Lagoona said. "And who might that be?" If I didn't get this over soon, she would get annoyed or board, and hang us by our tails from those hooks. We'd be dinner for the sharks. "It's me, I need some magic." "Hmmm, well this just made my night, the oldest of the three princesses needs my help. Come with me girls." We we're heading downstairs, it's an old room: bottles in different shapes and sizes—some with liquid, some with powder—books on shelves, little treasure chests, this big pot of boiling water in the middle of the room, and many other things hanging up on the walls. "Sorry, wasn't expecting guest so late. So, what do you need from me?" My sisters looked just as nervous as me. "Well, sometimes l like spending time on land, sitting on these rocks not far from home. And a few sunsets ago, I saw something strange up ahead, it was a pirate ship; but I didn't know it was a pirate ship till I went to search for it."
"Hmmm, so you want to go on land to see this ship?" "Well I already saw the ship, I just want to—"
"She saved the captain of the ship and now she wants to see him and what it's like up on land," Aqua said. "Sorry sis, you were taking too long, she doesn't need the whole story."
