Chapter 6: Poseidon

Underwater Kingdom

Poseidon sat alone in his spacious throne room under the sea. He told all his guards to leave. Today, he was feeling sad and wanted to be alone. It was the anniversary of the day his wife was killed by pirates. Angry at all humans, he had asked his daughter, Ursula, to lure sailors to their deaths with her beautiful and enchanting signing voice. She refused and tried to run away with Captain Hook. So, Poseidon used an enchanted shell to steal her singing voice. Then, Ursula used the magic trident to make herself more powerful than her father and ran away. That was over a decade ago. He longed to see his daughter again. He was a powerful god, but he couldn't make his daughter forgive him. It seemed that Poseidon's family had bad luck with their children. Poseidon's daughter hated him, his brother Zeus' son Hercules went missing many years ago, and his brother Hades has four sons, all of whom want nothing to do with him. Poseidon just wanted to be alone with his thoughts. Then suddenly, a green swirling portal opened up in the center of the room. Poseidon grew confused for a moment. Very few had enough power to open a portal in a god's home. Only another god or goddess could do it. Then, Ursula and Jafar swam out as the portal closed behind them. The two of them floated right above where the portal was and stared at Poseidon, who instantly recognized his daughter. Ursula had put a special spell over Jafar that would allow him to breath under water.

"Ursula." Poseidon said. "You've come back to me!"

"Don't get the wrong idea." She said. "I came here to take what's mine. Jafar here is going to help me."

"Please don't do this." Poseidon said. "All I want is for us to be a family again."

"I want my voice back." Ursula said.

Poseidon then conjured the magic shell in his palm. Then, yellow tays of light came out of the shell and flew into Ursula's throat.

"There." Poseidon said. "You're voice is back. Now what do you say we start over?"

"No." Ursula said. "You hurt me. You took away the one connection I had to mom. You took away my happiness. That's not something you can ever give back to me."

Jafar and Ursula then extended their hands towards Poseidon.

"What are you doing?" The Sea God asked.

"Something I should've done a long time ago." Ursula said.

Then, red beams of powerful magic energy shot out of Jafar and Ursula's hands. The beams hit Poseidon directly. The sea god screamed in pain. Gods after all were not immortal. They just lived longer than anyone and they had amazing power. However, Ursula was a goddess herself and she had teamed up with a powerful sorcerer. Combined, they had enough power to bring down this god. Poseidon started to glow bright red. After a few more seconds, he was gone, he had disappeared forever. Ursula and Jafar had killed the God of the Seas.

"Congratulations." Jafar said. "You have everything you wanted. You have your voice and your father is dead. You didn't need the Author."

"Thank you for your part." Ursula said.

"Now that I've helped you," Jafar said, "it's time for you to help me."

"That was the deal." Ursula said. "Shall I open an underwater portal to Agrabah?"

"It won't work." Jafar said. "Agrabah has no lakes or oceans for that to work. Open a portal to the Enchanted Forest. Then I can transport us there. Agrabah is after all across the desert from the Enchanted Forest. You will bring us to that world and I will bring us to Agrabah."

"Very well." Ursula said.

The sea goddess then used her tentacles to open another magic portal to the Enchanted Forest. Then, they swam through as it closed behind them. Once in the a Enchanted Forest, Jafar would transport them to Agrabah and he would take back his throne from whoever now claimed it. However, he did not realize that it was his former apprentice who was now ruling Agrabah. Meanwhile in Storybrooke, Zelena decided it was time to take her magic pendant and slippers back from Victoria, Alice's evil twin.
