Prompt from Guest: Could you do next Little Mermaid 2 AU where Melody has magical sea
related powers. And when she runs away from home and meets Morgana. She realizes that Melody
has magic and decides to teach her. Just simple friendship and hurt / comfort.
…
Melody never thought this would happen.
She didn't know her Mother hated the sea that much… she didn't mean to flood the ballroom.
It was the one and only time her mother had ever scared her.
Grabbing her bag filled with the necessities, Melody used her duvets as a make-shift rope, and climbed down from her balcony, stealing the row-boat in the hope that she could get as far away as possible.
She didn't know how long she drifted along the water for, but it was long enough for her food supplies to start running out.
"Hello there."
Melody yelped in surprise as a woman's head popped up over the side, grey hair sticking up wildly in all directions.
"What are you doing out here all by yourself?"
Melody kept her eyes on the woman, trying to ignore the fact that tentacles were now peeking over the side of the boat, "I'm just… relaxing."
"In the cold?" The woman gave her a kindly smile, "How about I get you some food? It looks like you're almost out."
"Ummmm- "
"- And maybe you should come back to mine. It's a lot warmer there."
Before Melody could answer, something seemed to grab her boat, and they were on the move.
…..
Normally, she wouldn't take food from a stranger… but when they arrived at the ice cavern, which was surprisingly warm, she found that she was absolutely starving, almost shoving it all in her mouth.
"Well I guess I don't need to ask you how it tastes." The woman beamed, "My name is Morgana… and you, are little Melody."
Melody frowned and nodded, "How do you- "
"- not important." Morgana waved her hand in dismissal, "I just need to know why you were out there all alone?"
The story all came spilling out, and Morgana looked more and more distressed with every word.
"I-I don't know what to say." Morgana sighed, "It's terrible that someone as powerful as you is treated like that. I was treated like that when I first found out about my powers you know."
"You were?"
Morgana nodded seriously, "Oh yes… much like you, all I needed was someone to understand me and teach me." And then, as though she was coming to a revelation in her mind, she clicked her fingers, "Why don't I teach you some tricks? Just something to get you started?"
Well, what could Melody do except say yes.
And so, for the next few months, Melody learnt how to channel the sea, making large waves, water tornados, and even freezing the water slightly if needed.
She would have been happy to stay there for the rest of her life.
If it weren't for the mermaid attack.
…
"What do we do?"
Morgana sighed wearily, "I don't think there's anything I can do. I'm Ursula's sister… it comes with a bad reputation unfortunately."
"But that's…. wrong!" Melody protested, "So wrong."
"… I know. But we have the perfect weapon against them."
Melody glanced over at Morgana, frowning as the woman waved her hand, the sea water swirling all around it.
"You know what to do child."
Even the mermaids couldn't stand against the force of the wave that Melody was able to control.
