Summary: Phil is a merman who gets captured. He falls for the ship's servant boy. (Inspired by Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides)

Prince Philip watched as his fellow Mer swam and laughed. The children were playing catch with a clam shell. The female teens combed and styled their hair, weaving pearls, shells and other treasures amongst the strands whilst the male's either watched or chased each other round the rocks. 

The elder Mer laughed and talked between themselves, watching the youngsters enjoy themselves. Philip's father, King Tritan, sat with his mother, Queen Tetania, and watched carefully. They were looking out for danger to try and protect their subjects. It wasn't every day that the Mer went to the surface.

Suddenly Philip's fiancée, Nepherae, swam over to him and smiled her beautiful smile. She was hand picked by Philip's father. She was the daughter of an old friend of the King's and had been due to marry for a long time. Philip wasn't exactly happy with the arrangement, but he had no voice in the matter of his betrothal. It was tradition.

Nepherae hauled herself up onto the rock Philip was sat on and laid down in his lap. She had long platinum blond hair, and silvery grey eyes - like a raging storm. Her smile was enchanting and her looks breath taking. However, Philip was somehow immune to her charms. "Dearest Philip, I cannot wait for the day of our marriage." She spoke sweetly, playing with the beaded necklace around Philip's neck. The middle stone was an ocean gem, something passed down from the great kings of the past. (Lion King reference!)

"Of course dear." Philip replied, although not very enthusiastically. Nepherae was about to speak again when there was a loud bang of cannon fire. Philip whipped his head to the side to see a ship come out of no where, gaining fast altitude towards them. He panicked as he saw his subjects panic in fear.

"UNDER WATER QUICKLY! GET WOMAN AND CHILDREN OUT SAFELY FIRST!" King Tritan bellowed. Philip quickly set to work guiding Nepherae and the other mermaids nearby to a safe part of the waters. Just as Philip sent a little raven haired mermaid safely go he heard a shrill shriek. 

He turned and watched in horror as shots were fired, and human beings set to work throwing nets and other harmful contractions. The Mermen were fighting back but Philip knew that if they didn't go, they'd be killed.

"RETREAT!" Phillip bellowed to his fellow Mer. They looked at him worriedly before nodding and retreating underwater.

"PHILLIP!" He heard a female scream. Phillip turned to see Nepherae caught on a net and struggling. 

"NEPHERAE! What are you doing up here?" Phillip exclaimed as he tried to set her free.

"You weren't down with everyone else so I went to see if you were okay!" She cried. Philip heard the shouts of the humans, some of them were swimming over and other's were on boats. They had weapons in their hands. "Philip, go!" Nepherae urged. Philip wouldn't give up. When he heard a shot in close range, only beside him he hissed up at the humans. Their ship had gotten dangerously close and there was little chance of escape now. "GO!" Nepherae screamed.

The nets began to lift and Nepherae screamed. Philip wouldn't give up, he hissed again and tugged hard at the ropes, grinning when they ripped under his strong grip. After a struggle, Nepherae was free and they both dived back into the water. However their victory was cut short when two humans, grabbed Philip by the tail and tied another rope. Philip thrashed around but they added a large net, completely encasing him. He was lifted out the water, still thrashing in the netting, only injuring himself further.
