The Pirate and The Mermaid

19: An even bigger surprise

Third person POV:

Some men speechless, some gawking, but no one was as speechless, as Arthur and Luna. "What in the name of the seven seas is happening?" Luna thought. "This can't be real, I mean, I've hardly had anything to drink." Arthur thought.
"Uh, okay . . . Oye sirena, we had a deal." "Oui, where's The Heart of the Ocean?"
"Boys. The deal was that I help you get there faster then Arthur, you just needed to get me the girl."
"Vell jou didn't exactly get us here before him." "Or earlier," Francis said. "The wind and waves weren't fast enough," Antonio said.
"Well it's not my fault. Playing with magic isn't easy, and using The Heart of the Ocean is not as easy as it looks."
"The What!" Everyone was in shock, some dropped their swords, Peter came out from below deck, and hid behind Alfred and Mathew. And then, she took it out from under her coat. And now everyone was speechless, and frozen.

Luna's POV:

She caused the storm, and the slow wind. And now, with The Heart of the Ocean and the triton, all the seas are in danger. "Now I know what you're thinking princess, I did cause the storm and slow wind, but not with this necklace. No, this . . I'm saving for when you're all dead." Arthur kept looking from me, to her, he's going to want lots of explanations. "Victoria, let go of my mother and sisters and Rey." There was bright light coming from her, and then she was on deck: with boots, trousers, and her pirate coat. "No can do dearie. Oh, and funny story about me and your mother."
A snap from her finger, and then I was seeing more light . . .

45 years ago. In the third person POV:

The Blue Moon kingdom was as beautiful in the past as it is now. But the most beautiful thing in it, was it's two princesses. Regina and Victoria. "Hey Victoria, want to go help out at The Guppy's Children's Hospital. I heard they really want to see you," Regina said. "Oh, sorry, I can't. Got more studying to do. Because, you know, I'll be queen soon."
"No, you'll just be getting The Heart of the Ocean, and then you'll have to choose a suitor. And then a few months later, you'll be queen. You still have a long way to go."
"Wait, no one told me about suitors." "Oops." Just like how no one told her about suitors, she hasn't told anyone about her toying with magic. Deep down in the crypts she's tampered with magic, both bright and dark. "I don't want to marry, I can do the job of a queen all on my own . . . I guess I'll just have to get rid of those princes. Now where was that book on how to get rid of high class merpeople and royals?"
She went back down there on the eve of her birthday, and her sister was getting suspicious, luckily she's good at sneaking around.

🧜🏻‍♀️a little time skip into the throne room🧜🏻‍♀️

"A little fish told me that you've been playing around with dark magic, Victoria." "Your Grace, the laws of the kingdom state that anyone who plays with dark magic must either be put in jail, or sentence into exile." "What!" The king said nothing, and Victoria gave a death stare at the mermaid next to her. "How could you? My own sister. When we gave each other these seashell necklaces; we swore on the name of King Triton, that we wouldn't turn our backs on each other, and lie to each other." Regina said nothing.
"And that's exactly what you did to your sister." "But father, it wasn't just dark magic—"
"From the looks of all those books down there, it was mostly dark magic." Victoria opened her mouth, then shut it, she didn't know what to say. It was quiet, so quiet, that it felt like time was going by slowly. In the end, the king had to make a decision . . . the plans for tomorrow's birthday, will have to be done on Regina's birthday.

Present day (a few hours ago at the palace)

Everyone in the city was swimming in fear, in panic. The queen and her two daughters, were in the throne room with their strongest and most loyal guard. He had his strongest guards at the doors of the palace ready to fight. Except they didn't stand a chance against dark magic. "Mom, there's something we have to tell—"
Boom! (Or whatever sound the door makes when you bust it open.)
"Sisterrrr, I'm hoooome!" "You shouldn't be here, you were sentenced into exile."
"Nice to see you too. And you too girls, I'm surprised you've kept the secret about Luna from your mother this past month and three weeks." Regina would have to deal with her daughters later. Because right now, there was a killer shark in the room. "What do you want, Victoria?"
"Oh nothing much, I simply came back for what was mine. And the missing piece of the puzzle."

Luna's POV:

When I could finally see again, the first thing I saw was my aunt, with The Heart of the Ocean around her neck, and the triton in her hand. "It's nothing personal dearie, it's just that I was born first, and have been practicing and preparing my entire life to be queen." My head hurt from too much knowledge of my family's history, with both The Heart of the Ocean, and magic. "Oh, and I hate to brake it to you my oldest niece, but your time is up."
I didn't realize it until now, but my aunt did look a bit bigger, and that's just because I was on the floor. With no legs. Just my green—with a bit of gold—mermaid tail.
