A/N: Hey Guys! I hope you like this! It will take awhile, but it will be worth it. I haven't tried to novelize anything, hopefully it turns out. R&R please!

The salty sea air misted about, to and fro underneath an overcast sky. The water was steady due to a steady wind—not exactly calm, but it wasn't incredibly wavy. Seagulls flew below the clouds, and dolphins splashed about in the water.

Out of the fog emerged a giant ship. After it had passed the dolphins came out of the water again after hiding from it's presence. With a mermaid on the bow for good luck, the sailors chanted their song:

"I'll tell you a tale of the bottomless blue,

And it's hey to the starboard, heave ho!

Look out, lad, a mermaid be waitin' for you,

In mysterious fathoms below."

A handsome young man, with ebony hair and sea-blue eyes seemed to be enjoying himself on-board, smiling,"Isn't this great? The salty sea air," as he inhaled it for himself, "the wind blowing in your face—a perfect day to be at sea!"

An older man hunched over the edge of the ship rose his head to reveal a green-tinted face, managed to say, "Oh, yes, delightf-" as he continued to be sick over the side again.

A sailor pulled on a rope to tighten it, as he did his job he spoke of the day, "A fine, strong wind and a following sea, King Triton must be in a friendly type mood," as he completed tying a knot.

The young man looked confused, then he questioned, "King Triton?" He had never heard of such a king, and if he was, he must have met him; as he was a prince to his own kingdom himself.

Another sailor pitched in, definitely old, and equally as mad collected fish from the most recent haul, throwing them on the deck. His withering voice spoke, "Why, ruler of the merpeople lad, thought every good sailor knew about him."

Grimsby scoffed, "Merpeople! Eric, pay no attention to this nautical nonsense."

As if offended, the sailor threw his hands in the air, unaware of the fish he had. "But it ain't nonsense, it's the truth," he said getting closer to Grimsby, "I'm tellin' you down in the depths of the ocean they live!" The fish in his hand slipped out, the tail smacking Grimsby's face and overboard while the sailors sang:

"In mysterious fathoms below!"

The fish, safe and sound in the water, sighed with relief, and swam into the abyss.
