Savior Of The Seven Kingdoms Chapter 1
10 Years Old:
Life without a wife and mother was difficult for Thomas and Ariel Curry was a trial, but they made it work.
As Ariel got older things began to slowly change for her. From the beginning Thomas would always constantly tell Ariel story's about her mother and the kingdom she hailed from. The very kingdom that Ariel is meant to rule one day to unite the worlds of land and sea together in unity. That's a hell of a lot to carry on one child's shoulders. That's not the only thing either.
With each year that passed more and more of Ariel's Atlantean genes came out. When she was ten years old things came to a head while on a school fieldtrip to the Boston Aquarium in Massachusetts.
"All life came from the sea, so if we want to understand ourselves, we just journey to where we began."
The fourth grade class was currently in a section of the Aquarium that housed an environmental replica of a coral reef habitat with a large variety of alternate species living inside. The majority of students are gathered around the tour guide with other people visiting the place meandering around them.
Continuing, the Tour Guide said "No, today, we have better maps of Mars than we do the sea floor."
The Tour Guide began to move around other areas of the exhibit to show the students. Most tagged along while some others chose to stay put.
Ariel is one of them.
Ariel is standing very close to the glass though not quite pressed up against it. A small group of fish are congregated here somehow communicating to her mind to mind where she can understand them by using telepathy.
Waving at them, Ariel said "Bye, fishy. Bye." She cocked her head listening to them. "My name is Ariel. What's yours?" Each of the fish gave Ariel their names. It was hard to understand since they all spoke at the same time. So she tried again. "You guys hungry?" Yes, the fish are very hungry. They won't get fed till later in the day. "Me, too."
Most unfortunate that this unusual conversation is drawing some unwanted attention.
Two boys in Ariel's class have noticed her interaction with the fish. These two, in particular, have been bullying her for years. It's no secret that Ariel likes talking to fish. These are simply two kids who take great enjoyment in making fun of her for it.
Mike, the more aggressive of the two, said "Check it out. Ariel is talking to the fish. Who do you think you are? The Little Mermaid?"
As a matter of fact, Ariel was named after the Little Mermaid when she was born. The movie was playing on the television at the time. Thomas saw it and suggested the name saying the name fit because the main character is a princess of the seas like her. Atlanna agreed it was a fine suitable name for her to bear in life.
But Ariel isn't about to tell them that. Not by a long shot.
"Such a freak, Ariel," scowled Ben, slamming her back into the glass.
The fish there started to swim erratically wanting to help her, but not even close to being strong enough to do so.
"Stop," said Ariel, squirming to break free from their grip on her.
"What are you gonna do about it, freak," taunted Mike, laughing in amusement.
"Stop it! Don't," cried Ariel.
"Freak," repeated Mike, not stopping.
"Let me go," begged Ariel.
No one else in the room is stepping up to help Ariel. This definitely clashed with what's occurring within the tank.
Bang!
Inside the tank, the lemon shark living there had charged the glass bringing everything going in in the room to a grinding halt. At first, everyone assumed it was merely an accident that the shark ran into the glass by accident. They're soon proven wrong about this.
The lemon shark swam in for a second go this time slamming into the glass window much harder than the first time, aiming for the two boys tormenting Ariel. It's intent on getting to and doing worse to them than they were to Ariel.
People are hastily backing away from the glass windows, beginning to panic, not knowing what's going on or even causing this erratic behavior.
The third time the lemon shark smacked into the glass a large crack is created from the impact yet it didn't break. Every person screamed, shrinking as far away from the glass as physically possible, and are literally pressing on the walls at the rear of the room in order to keep away from the rampaging shark. The lemon shark bit and pushed on the glass in frustration that it couldn't get out.
Ariel sought to rectify that.
She brought a hand upwards lying her palm flat on the window center over the lemon sharks nose. Ariel sent out soothing waves to the shark asking it to be still. Within a few seconds, the lemon shark calmed down, relaxing.
This isn't the only side effect to what Ariel has just done.
People gasped in a mixture of awe, astonishment, and fear of what they are bear witnessing to. Eyes shut Ariel turned to face the gathered crowd. Ariel then opened her eyes for all to see. Ariel's light brown eyes color has transformed into gold.
Each and every animal in that tank has zeroed in on Ariel. Drawn into coming to her aide in Ariel's time of need, a united front.
The crowd murmured anxiously, beyond nervous watching this.
Looking back and forth between her oceanic friends and the crowd in front of her Ariel smiled.
Needless to say those bullies never once harassed her following this incident.
All good news for Ariel.
Authors Note:
Hope you guys all liked this one! ;D
Now that the movie is available for purchase on ITunes the updates should come more regularly. That is I really want them to.
Do any of you think Ariel should have the same power Audrina has in Heart Of Atlantis? I'm kind of going back and forth on that.
