Chapter 1: Mysterious Fathoms Below
2 years later
Jack's POV
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 waiting for you
In mysterious fathoms below
From whence wayward Westerlies blow
Where Adgar is king and his merpeople sing
In mysterious fathoms below
"Isn't this great, North. Wind in my hair, Salt in the air. Great day to be out at sea." I said as I inhaled the salty air.
"Why yes. Wonderful." North said, looking a little queasy.
Today was my 18th birthday. Being the Prince of Arendelle, I decided that a day out at sea would be a perfect way to celebrate. My advisor, North, wasn't too fond of the idea.
"Jack!"
I quickly turned around to see my little sister, Felicity run over, along with Toothina, her nanny.
"Ah baby tooth." I said as I picked her up and spun her around. "You having fun on board?"
"Yeah Jack. Abby is having fun too."
Abby, my hunting dog, came from below deck. Being chased by Aster Bunnymund, the royal cook.
"Stay out of my kitchen, you dingo!"
Felicity and I laughed as Abby ran over and licked my face.
Just then Sandy, My captain of the guard came over. He was mute, so he didn't say much. But he didn't need to. He gets the job done.
He handed me a note. I quickly opened it.
Pitch has returned from his diplomatic mission from Analugha. King Eric still refuses a meeting.
I shook my head and covered my eyes with my hand. Pitch was my nosy dark humored ambassador. He did take orders very well. We almost went to war with the Southern Isles cause of him.
In fact, Pitch has been putting pressure on me to marry. He claims that if I'm not married by my 20th birthday, he would take the throne. He even tried to take the throne till I was married, but I knew I wouldn't get it back.
King Eric was in the Kingdom of Analugha. He was also a good friend. Now since I'm in charge of running my country, I figured a trade deal or an alliance would be in order. But he kept saying he couldn't come up, cause his wife, Ariel would be in danger.
"Felicity, go play with Abby."
Felicity ran off with my dog.
North walked over and read the note. "Don't worry, my boy. Eric will change his mind. Eventually."
"But what kind of danger would be here?"
"Maybe it's King Adgar. There's rumors of his wife being a mermaid." A sailor said.
"King Adgar? Who's that?" I asked
"Ah, High King of the Merpeople. I thought every sailor up this north knew that."
North just laughed. "Merpeople. Jack, don't listen to that nonsense."
"I'm telling you. It's the truth." The sailor said as he threw a fish at North. It slapped him in the face a couple time then dove back into the water.

General POV
The fish flew off the boat and dove down as fast as he could. Once he knew he was safe, he let out a sight of relief. He then swam deeper. He past some whales, and more of the ocean life.
Then suddenly a merman swam over the ledge. More of them swam with him. They swam into a tunnel. The opening of the tunnel was glowing a bright silver. At the end if the tunnel was the silvery city of Atlantis. It was much bigger then Atlantica. The merpeople swam to the throne room where a special performance was about to begin.
Mermen in uniform blew trumpets. A big merman with blond hair named Kristoff, who was the spokesperson for Atlantis swam up and cleared his throat.
"Presenting, his royal highness, High King of all the Ocean, King Adgar."
Two dolphins swam out, pulling a strong young man. He had a long dark blond hair and beard with a few strands of white hair in it. He had on a platinum colored crown and trident. He shot at the chandelier. Ice particles rained down softly onto the citizens.
"And also introducing the court composer and ambassador of Atlantica, the talented Sebastian."

Sebastian's POV
I rode out on a fish drawn carriage. I waved to the crowd as they applauded.
After King Triton was banished, I remands at the side of King Adgar. I also continued my music career. But I missed my life back in Atlantica. Watching rebel teenage girls and all.
"I'm really looking forward to this performance, Sebastian." Adgar said as I lead the fish next to him.
"Oh you flatter me, your majesty." I said. "Your two daughters will be extraordinary."
"Why yes. I'm definitely looking forward to Elsa's performance."
"Why yes. She is very talented." I rode down to the stage. "If she would actually commit herself."
I got down to the stage. Suddenly a little fish came over and whispered in my ear.
"Elsa and Anna aren't here."
I froze up. My two main performers weren't here. I knew how angry Triton can get, but Adgar?
I looked up at him. He looked confused. I shook my head.
His face went bright red. His trident glowed white.
"GIRLS!"
