The tale of the Little Mermaid is as old as time. Fans have seen Ariel fight for music, her prince, and her daughter. This is not one of those stories.
This is the untold tale.
Why was Ursula so spiteful and untrusting?
Why did she loathe the mer-royalty?
Why did she keep such a hidden life?
This is the story to answer all the questions.
Ula has lived in the peaceful world of the ocean for 18 years with her best friend, Demetrai, beside her. One day, tragedy strikes, and Ula is left alone. Forever. Broken-hearted and willing to do anything for her departed's return, she leaves Atlantia, and runs (or rather, swims) right into her destiny.

The Sea Witch (the untold story)
Atlantica, a kingdom of submerged wonders, thrives in the delicate balance of ancient laws and legends whispered through the waves. Ursula, eldest daughter of Iris and Thalassius, sovereigns of the oceans, embodies the ideal of what a mermaid should be: mesmerizing beauty, unstoppable power, and an unyielding will. Beside her stand her siblings: Triton, calculating and wise, and Nerion, the youngest and most idealistic, still unaware of the shadows that haunt the sea. But perfection is fragile, and fate knows no mercy. A cataclysmic event, steeped in deceit and betrayal, drags Ursula from the heights of honor to the depths of disgrace. Accused of destroying innocent lives, she is abandoned and condemned by those she loved most. Cast out of Atlantica, the only world she has ever known, Ursula begins to transform under the crushing weight of hatred and sorrow. What was once a legendary mermaid becomes a creature feared and misunderstood, a being the sea itself seems to disown. This is not the tale of a villain. It is the story of a sea nymph condemned by the fear and ignorance of those who failed to see beyond appearances. Ursula becomes a symbol of vengeance and rejection, a figure who embodies both power and solitude, turned into a legend not for who she truly was, but for what the world chose to see.
True Love's Kiss: Alternate Events to Disney's The Little Mermaid
You may have seen Walt Disney's The Little Mermaid or heard of the older turn of events from the desk Hans Christian Andersen. However, both of these fairy tales represent extremes. On one hand, Disney's version of the story portrays a fairy-tale type of love at first sight that can rarely, if ever, be seen in the modern-day world. On the other hand, Andersen's dark ending can be unfit to have children as the primary audience. So, I decided to find a happy medium! Enjoy!Complete
The Mermaid-Cursed Pirate
Sirena may look like a normal girl, but she is far from it. Not only is she a mermaid, but she is also a lot older than she looks. She has lived on Neverland for longer than she cares to remember. She lives in solidarity, trying to avoid the annoying teenaged boys on the island and people in general. Trying to avoid her fate that looms closer each day. She had it pretty good - until a ship appeared on Neverland's shores and gave her hope to escape the inevitable. Freedom was so close! But then an unexpected pirate ruined everything. Or so she thought. AN: I do not own any characters from Once Upon a Time and some elements for the mermaids were taken from H2O: Just Add Water. Sirena, the plot, and most elements of the mermaid world and the mermaid curses are my own. Please do not steal, but enjoy!Complete
