A few days later, Ariel gets a surprise visit from her sisters on the shore of Eric's kingdom. The girls then hit their necklaces and transform into humans and come ashore where Ariel gets them inside and into clothes before they begin to chat. "We fear someone is plotting against Adella's life. Someone or some merperson wants to assassinate her."
"Oh dear," cries Ariel. "What are the guards and kingdom doing to protect our sister?"
"Her escorts and guards have been upped and given more training," respond the sisters, "but that's it so far."
"Well," responds Ariel, "who do they think is actually going after her?"
"Legend is the King Sea Dragon is back from his slumber and attempting to wipe out mermaid kind again," responds Aquata. "But that's still only folk tale at this point, no real evidence is there to back it up so far."
Meanwhile, back in his lair, the King Sea Dragon is plotting a way to kidnap the new queen of Mermista and how he's going to kill her as well as the rest of her king. "How?" hisses the King Sea Dragon. "How do you kill a Queen and princesses with no merpeople knowing?" He lets out another hiss. "Do they still think me legend, folk tale? If so, that's my way in. Perfect. Perfect."
"Yes, your highness, no one knows you're still alive, use that to your advantage," responds his slave, the girls' old governess, Marina Del Rey.
"I plan to, you dult!" screeches the King Sea Dragon. "Now back to work!"
"Ugh, yes sir," sighs Marina.
"Not a sir!" screeches the King Sea Dragon.
"Yes your high and mightiness," sighs Marina in response. She then gets back to her tasks at hand.
A few hours later, a bottle washes up on teh shore and the sisters fetch it and read the letter. "Dear princesses, your suspicions about it being the King Sea Dragon are correct. We found some of his scales and shed teeth outside the kingdom's walls as well as found your old governess missing from her coral home not far from the destruction of Atlantica. Our scouts found her house ransacked and ruined. She struggled from what we could tell, but ended up being taken and presumably turned into a slave or killed. We don't know which yet. Sincerely, the royal guard scouts."
"Oh no," say the sisters in shock. They then burst into tears, now scared for their own lives.
"So it is true," says Ariel, "he wishes to take down our new kingdom, new monarchy, and all menfolk kind. What are we to do?"
"If only we knew," respond the sisters. "His scales are near impenetrable making him near impossible to kill."
"Then we have to find another way to get rid of him," responds Ariel. "How is anothe question entirely."
