Chapter 12- Getting the Trident Back
Back in the castle King Triton felt that there was no more pull on the waves anymore, so he went out of the castle to see if Morgana was still causing trouble, but she wasn't causing trouble at all. In fact King Triton didn't see Morgana at all, so he swam back inside to the castle and went up to Ariel and Darin and said, "Morgana is dead."
"Daddy, how do you know that she is dead."
"I can feel that the trident is not in her hands of evil anymore."
"King Triton, do you know where it is then?"
"No Darin I do not know where it is. That is why we must go out and search for it before anyone else takes it. Oh and lets not bring Melody along. I think lets let her sleep a little longer."
So Ariel, Darin and King Triton went out of the kingdom to search for the trident. About five hours later they decided to go back to the castle for the night and start searching for the trident again tomorrow when they were well rested.
Back with Eric, he was slowly loosing air and in about 12 hours Eric would be completely dead.
In the castle Melody woke up and found that her mom, grandfather and Darin were gone, so she went out to Darin's secret cave thinking that Darin might be there, but on the way Melody saw a strange yellow glow off in the distance, so she swam out to see what it was.
When she got there she got a big surprise to find the trident and her father lying on the ground. Melody swam up to her father and said, "Dad wake up!!"
But after about five minutes of trying to wake him, she knew something was wrong, so she swam as fast as she could back to the castle to get her grandfather, mother and Darin.
When she got there her grandfather, mother and Darin were just getting back from their search. She swam up to them and said," Grandfather help me, some how my dad has fallen down to the bottom of the ocean and is dying. There must be something you can do to help him."
"Well I could help him but I don't have my trident."
"Oh grandfather the trident is lying next to my dad."
"Well, show me the way there before it is to late."
So Darin, Ariel, Melody and King Triton hurry away to save Eric. When they finally get there King Triton hurries over and gets his trident when then Ariel says through tears, "Dad how are you going to save Eric?"
"The only way I can save him."
"You don't mean..."
"Yes, I am going to turn him into a merman."
So King Triton blasts his trident at Eric and he gets lifted up and is transformed into a merman with a navy blue tail. When the transformation was done King Triton puts him back down on the ground and then Ariel and Melody swim over to Eric to wait until he opens up his eyes.
