"Poor, sweet child." The second voice caused her to look up at the slippery shadows that passed overhead.
Eels…
"She has a very serious problem." The first swam by, it's one glowing yellow eye eerie and almost hypnotizing.
The second followed close behind. "If only there were something we could do."
They circled around her. "But there is something." They grinned at each other leaving the statement open for question.
"Who – who are you?"
One approached from the front. "Don't be scared."
Another came over her shoulder. "We represent someone who can help you."

Together...
Forever...

"I couldn't possibly!"

"Suit yourself."
"It was only a suggestion." With a swish of its tail it sent the face of the destroyed prince towards Ariel with a resounding clatter.

He's human, you can't be together!
