Heir to Atlantica

“Thank you,” she said, sincerely. When she had first made the deal with Ursula to become a human, she never expected to see her family again, let alone have them support her change in lifestyle. But a lot had happened between that deal and now, and Ariel was all the happier for it. “What about you? How are things going back ho— back in Atlantica?” She nearly referred to the sea as home, but caught herself. It was her home, once, but now she couldn’t exactly refer to it as such. She had a new home, a new life. 

Attina shrugged, nothing too new was going on. Ariel seemed to be the one with all of the excitement. There was nothing of note to tell her about. Which was why coming up here with Ariel. 

"Yeah, I can take you there." He agrees, "but I’m not sure if the council is in session right now." Tadashi admits sheepishly. One of his hands reach up to rub the back of his neck. Maybe he should get more involved in politics, he mused. “I can at least show you where they meet? You could always come back later.” He nods more to himself then to her.

Practice time.

King Triton’s heir, the crown princess of Atlantica.

Some time had passed since Jack had gotten himself acclimated to the water. What with his time on the ship, on land… He hadn’t been doing any swan dives to avoid certain death either. Rather, he’d fallen off of the dock in his own stupid mistake. Due to the rum, probably.

She was floating in the water, enjoying the feeling of the warm sun on her skin and fin when she heard a voice. Attina quickly came upright in the water holding her tail underneath her. The human was alone and there didn’t seem to be a ship for miles, otherwise she would have likely disappeared beneath the waves. 

"If you’re trying to get something done, you should go to the Sanfrantokyo city council." He advices, pushing his keys into his tan satchel. A set of girls nearby giggled and stared blatantly at the woman he was conversing with, they were so obviously poking fun at her appearance. A frown spread itself across his face as he looked at the teenagers. They hushed at his disapproving look and rushed off down the bustling street.

“City council?” she asked tilting her head with a sigh. “Well, I supposed I don’t have any options if that’s how things are done on the surface. Could you direct me there, please?”

A moment later, a dark figure pulled away from the trees. A cloaked woman with rather demonic-looking horns and deathly ashen skin seemed to materialize from the shadows. She leaned on a green-headed staff that sunk into the soft-packed earth with each step. Her eyes were searing.

"I do so despise fairytale creatures.”

She was about to forget about the bird and carry on when a woman clad in black approached from the trees. She looked more like how her father described humans than how Ariel led everyone to believe what they really were like. She looked her up and down as well, assessing her. She blinked, not sure how the woman could tell she was a mermaid. Maybe she had gotten something wrong when she dressed in human attire. She had legs, she didn’t know how much more human she needed to look. 

The red light in front of him finally flickered to green and Tadashi pressed the gas on his scooter. Its about time, he thought to himself. All the red lights in sanfrantokoy really got on his nerves sometime. A whim crept up on him, and he took a sharp turn. He really didn’t have anywhere to be, Tadashi just felt like going out. His most recent project— the time machine — had him a bit stressed so he decided to go for a quick ride.

As she reached the surface she was disoriented. This city was nothing like where Ariel lived. It was much busier and the human moved around in large hulking metal things, the fashion was all different as well. The orange dress she saved for visiting the surface stuck out. Most of the women seemed to be wearing pants. Attina was wide-eyed not sure what she was supposed to do. She asked several people on the street if they could direct her to the palace, thinking the king or queen of this country would be the best start but she kept getting odd looks. 

The moment passed, however, and the elder was soon pulling away. Ariel let go, smiling at the mention of how the surface was doing her good. “Oh,” she breathed, clasping her hands together, “It is! I’m learning so much here, and everyone is so nice. I couldn’t be happier.” Well, she could stand to see her family more often. She missed them often — but at least one of her siblings was here for a visit now.

She smiled, listening to her littlest sister. "I'm so happy for you Ariel," she said genuinely. She missed her and Atlantica wasn't the same without her but Ariel had always been a free spirit. She had long stopped wondering about what drove Ariel to leave the sea, she supposed she was about to find out on this visit.
