Ch7: Morgana's lair
Edward and Finic were on their way to tell King Triton and Prince Eric were Morgana was hiding. After being talking about a lot of things with his new friend Edward started to feel worried about his mother and sister. What if this Morgana had already won?, what if his mom and sister were already her prisoners? He didn't want to think that sort of things but they just appeared in his head. Finic seeing that Edward wasn't talking to much and didn't paying attention tried to talk to him.
"Hey Edward, are you alright? You've been quiet for the last five minutes?"
"Yeah I'm fine." Edward knew very well that he wasn't, but he didn't know if he could trust Finic, he just met that kid a few hours ago, but a part of him, very deeply knew that he could trust in Finic, he had a feeling that this yellow guppy beside him will be someday a good friend.
"Ok I'm not; I mean I'm scared of that witch, what if she already hurt my mom? or Melody? I really care about them, I know the dream of a lot of kids of my age is that its parents and siblings disappear and things like that, but I'm different of those kids. Since I have memory, my sister has been a friend and supporter, just as my parents."
"Wow I've never met someone who loved his sister that much."
"Are you kidding me? she's my oldest friend, if Morgana hurts her or my mom you can bet that I'll have some issues with her."
They finally arrived with King Triton, he was in the throne room, his expression showed worry, about Melody and about Ariel, she did it again, after 13 years she adventured to a dangerous place without telling him.
"Grandfather!"
"Edward what happened? Are you alright?"
"Yes I'm fine, but my mom is on Morgana's lair, she's now with Melody."
"And how you know about that?" King Triton asked, worried about the answer, after all Edward was Ariel's son, so he wouldn't be surprised if he did something risk too.
"Yeah… speaking about that, maybe Finic and I followed her and Flounder very carefully, in order to help them."
"So how are you two here?"
"Edward and I made a race and then he shouted very loud and they listened to him."
"There's no time to waste grandfather, prepare a carriage and be ready. I'll go and tell my dad."
"Very well Edward, and one last question, what did your mother said when she figured out that you were there?"
"Oh, she got mad, I think I will be punished or something, but this was totally worth it. Well see ya." After that, both kids started their way to Prince Eric's castle.
King Triton stayed a few moments confirming his old though, that red haired boy was without a doubt Ariel's kid, just as Melody was.


"Flounder don't keep trying, it's impossible to break the ice. You'll get hurt."
"Nonsense Melody we need to get out, I'm sure that they will come to rescue us."
"Who?"
"Well both kingdoms."
"How, Morgana has my mom, who could tell everyone we're here." said Melody depressed and defeated just answering to keep speaking with someone.
"Your brother and my son."
"Eddie...he's right?"
"Of course he is, just a little scratch, but that's all, they're telling your grandfather and your dad where Morgana is hiding."
Melody looking at Flounder, tried to make a conversation with him, after all he didn't hesitate to go with her, if he didn't do that she would be alone in that cold prison.
"So...you know my mom?"
"Yeah, I know her Melody. She's my deepest friend. We lived a lot of adventures together, you know you're just like her, rebellious and brave."
"I'm not brave Flounder, I'm selfish. I put in risk my mom and my brother because of my pursuit of answers."
"And that's what you makes you brave, maybe it wasn't your best move for that, but you followed your path, this is a distraction, this prison, we're just making time. You're smart Melody think in a plan to defeat that sea witch, I know you can."
"How do you know that? You don't even know me?"
"But I know your mom, and if there's something that she always do is find a solution to every problem. And I barely knew you."
"How?"
"I was a guest the day that everyone wants to forget, we were all so happy, I saw Ariel again after quite some time, and your grandfather was going to finally meet you, since it was announced that your mother was waiting, he became a very kind king, and trust me he can be very scary and rude sometimes, but then, everything changed." Melody changed her face in a question mood.
"Morgana appeared and then she grabbed you with her tentacle, she said that if King Triton didn't give her the trident she would feed her shark with you. Your parents were able to save you but she disappeared, after that your mom took the decision of build the wall and not allowed you to go into the sea."
Melody, who now was having tears in her eyes, finally knew that all of what her parents did was because they loved her and Edward.
"So she, she did that for me?"
"Yes Melody, she did it for you, and then for your brother too."
"Could you please tell me more about mom?"
"I would love to, but you should ask her yourself."
"I'm not sure, my time as a mermaid is almost over. I may not be able to..."
"Hey Melody, don't think like that, as I said before think of something that might help."


"Whoa, this is your home?!"
"Yup, it's big isn't?"
"You bet."
"Okay wait here, I will go and tell my dad, we will be there soon."
"Ok" Finic said while Edward was taking out his ring, becoming a human again, fortunately for him, when he was above to walk again he had his same t shirt and pants, all dry. He ran as fast as he could and went to the castle looking for his father.
"Dad! Dad, where are you?"
"Eddie, what's wrong buddy? Why are you here, is your mom alright?"
"That's why I'm here, it's a long story but all you need to know is that I know where is Morgana, we have to go now, mom's already there, and Melody too."
Eric immediately prepared a ship with some sailors and met with King Triton and Finic on the shore.
"Ok buddy you know where it is, lead us." When Eric looked that Edward was going to put on his ring, he knew that he was accepting his heritage, but still, he wanted to do something with him that he never could before because of certain reason. He had been waiting to share this moment with his son. "Hey Edward, would you like to come with me here on the ship, you might be able to learn some sailing tips from your old man."
Did he just invited to sail with him? Edward was astonished; he always wanted to hear that, so he just had one short answer. "Yes sir."
Finally Edward, Finic, Eric and Triton started their way to rescue Melody and stop Morgana for once and for all.
