Disclaimer I do not own the Disney version of the little Mermaid or Hans Christian Anderson's The Little Mermaid. This is just a story for fun.
The next day a carriage arrived at the castle. A young women wearing a blue robe got out and entered the castle and went to the ballroom. James, Ariel, and Eric were altered about the arrival.
"Now we will find out the truth. This women will us everything." Said James as they made their way to the ballroom.
Unbeknownst to them Crystallina was fallowing them.
The women's back was turned towards the group as they entered the ballroom. The women turned around revealing herself to be a young beautiful women with brown hair.
"Princess Mariah! You were the girl from the temple?" Asked James shocked.
"Indeed it was. I found you passed out on the beach and tended to some of your wounds, before going to get help for you." Said Mariah.
"Then truly you must be my true love! You are the one I will marry!" Exclaimed James as he stepped forward and kissed Mariah on the lips.
There was the sound shoes hitting the floor rapidly. Ariel turned and saw Crystallina running away with tears in her eyes.
"I'll tend to her." Said Ariel as she ran off after Crystallina.
"Who was that?" Asked Mariah.
"Just a mute ship wrecked girl that had a fondness towards me." Said James.
"James that girl, loves you! I believe she is a mermaid who has taken great lengths to be with you." Said Eric.
"A mermaid?" Asked Mariah.
"It's nothing. Forget about, your the one, who saved me." Said James.
"I must...confess something, when I found you it looked like some of your wounds were already tended to. As to how you ended up on the shore is a mystery, but as I attended to your wounds I saw a head sticking out of the ocean. It resembled a women with blond hair. As quickly as I saw it, it vanished. I did see the flicker of a large blue fishtail before it vanished into the water." Said Mariah.
"What...dose this mean?" Asked James in confusion.
"Brother I believe Crystallina was the one to rescue from the ocean and drag you to shore. You should go to her." Said Eric.
"I...need time to think. This...is so much to take in." Said James as he sat down and starred at the floor.
Ariel found Crystallina standing at the edge of the beach talking to an older mermaid and merman. Several young mermaids were behind them. Ariel crouched behind a rock and watched them.
"Daughter I'm sorry about...your prince. Your heart is broken...there is nothing left for you on dry land." Said the merman.
"We found a way to undo the sea witch Sierra's transformation potion." Said the older mermaid as two of the others came forward carrying a sword they placed on the shore. That is a magical sword we took from the sea witch Castallina. You must use it to kill the prince. Once his blood is spilled you will return to being a mermaid."
Crystallina picked up the sword and starred at her reflection. The meroeople vanished back into the ocean. Ariel stepped out from the rock. Crystallina starred at Ariel in surprise.
"I heard everything. You don't have to do this. I'm sure we can get James to fall in love with you. There doesn't need to be blood shed." Said Ariel.
Crystallina looked at Ariel wishfully.
"Come let us return to the castle and figure something out." Said Ariel.
The two of them walked towards the castle. Crystallina clutched the sword to her chest lost in thought.
