"Well good night Cyan," Triton said as he swam to his bed chambers.

"Goodnight sir" Cyan replied back as he too swam to his own sleeping chambers.

Later that morning

"Ah Urchin, care to join me for a morning swim? Triton asked.

"Of course sir," Urchin said.

"Urchin, I need you to go to the kingdom of Tohagord to escort the Princess, Aquamarine to the kingdom of Galelaria for her marriage to Prince Marlowe," Triton said.

"What about Cyan or Zulu or Valkyrie? couldn't one of them do it?" Urchin asked.

"They all have respectively declined, choosing to stay with Attina, Aquata, and Adrina" Triton replied. "So, I've chosen you to represent Atlantica, you will be traveling with Alsek representing Kingdom Glas, Bremner representing Kingdom Lympha, Adriatic representing Kingdom Mare, and Severn representing Kingdom Unda"

"How long will I be gone?" Urchin asked.

"A couple of months," Triton said.

"How will I be able to tell Ariel? When do I leave?" Urchin asked.

"As soon as possible, Ariel's strong she'll be able to handle it," Triton said.

"I'll find her and let her know straight away," Urchin said swimming off.

Urchin swam into the room that he shared with Ariel. He watched her sleep for a couple of minutes before shaking her gently, "Darling? Wake up, I need to discuss something with you"

"Hmm? Wh-What? Urchin? What's wrong?" the redhead mermaid asked sleepily.

"Your father asked me to do something very important, but I don't know what to do" Urchin asked.

"What is it that father wants you to do?" Ariel asked a little more alert.

"He has chosen me to be one of four others to escort Princess Aquamarine to Prince Marlowe of Galelaria" Urchin replied.

"How long will you be gone?" Ariel asked.

"A couple of months, at the latest" Urchin said.

"When do you leave?" Ariel asked biting her lip.

"As soon as possible my love. If you wish for me to stay, I'll decline your father" Urchin said taking her hand.

"No, it is your duty. Go, I'll be here waiting for you" Ariel said with a warm smile.

"Ariel, I don't know how long I'll be gone. What if you get tired of waiting on me?" Urchin asked worriedly.

"Urchin, honey, I'll never get tired of waiting on you. I'll wait forever if I have to"
