||*. - you’re the youngest of king triton’s seven daughters , and you definitely stand out . some may argue not for the right reasons . somewhere , thousands of metres above your home , someone else stands out too .

“you’re gonna be in so much trouble !” flounder squealed , circling my tail .

“if you keep your trout shut , i won’t .” i protested . i could see the lights getting closer as we swam higher . yells and laughter sounded into the waves , the glitter in the sky cascading down . i stuck my head up out of the water , hoping my bright hair wouldn’t be as visible in the night .

the ship was grand and gold , filled with sailors and royals . i could hear flounder’s scared , heavy breathing as i touched the ship , trying to see onto the deck .

around the side , i saw a tall figure leaning out . a boy . his dark curls swayed in the breeze . his shirt rippled with the wind like the seas below . the sky glitter made his face glow all sorts of colours . i’d seen him so many times before , i wondered maybe the reason i kept going up to the surface was because of him .

“what are those colours in the sky ?”

“they’re sky glitter . scuttle told me .”

“you better not get any closer-” his words were drowned out as i delved under , getting closer to the boy . he walked back onto the main ship , sitting down next to an old man .

“wow . he’s as pretty as a pearl .” i sigh .

“if we don’t leave right now i’ll tell triton the truth !”

i ignored flounder . my hands touched the ship . he smiled big . i giggled , my hand accidentally making a loud bang on the side of the ship .

flounder pulled me under .

“what was that ?” a gruff voice called .

i was being dragged when i heard a loud crash . i desperately struggled away from flounder , peering up over the surface - the ship was headed for the rocks nearby .

“flounder they’ll be killed ! we need to go help !” i pleaded .

“so what ? that’s not our problem !”

“fine . you can go home . i’ll do what’s right .”

i raced towards the ship as planks and barrels began to drop from the deck . that’s when i remembered - barrels . there’s a magic substance that would cause the ship to completely explode if the fire reached them .

flames shot up one after another , trapping men on the deck as the sky became bewitched to a dark orange . i desperately searched for the boy .

all of a sudden - a huge cloud of grey engulfed the ship . i knew the fire had reached the magic substance . men were falling from the deck , leaning onto planks as the ship crumbled .

that’s when i saw him . floating , eyes closed and arms wrapped around the ship’s wheel . i flung my arms onto him , dragging him as fast as i could .

it was light by the time i reached shore . i sang softly to the boy to wake him up , his beautiful blue eyes opened . they were more beautiful than any sea . i beamed at him , love struck .

he widened his eyes and raised his hand to stroke my hair . he grinned back sheepishly , still drowsy . i tried to hold my giggle in .

my hand was resting gently on his arm , and he reached up to grab it , our fingers interlocking . before i could open my mouth to try and say something , i heard an irritating shriek , and then a bark .

i saw a raggy , wet animal bounce from behind the rocks and up to him . an old man’s voice called from the rocks too , and i swam back as quick as i could , taking cover behind the nearby rocks . i was close enough to hear what was going on .

“a girl . rescued me .” he breathed as the man’s hands wrapped around his shoulders .

“she was singing . she had the most beautiful voice . she looked like an angel .” i smiled , peering out further

“come on clark … maybe we swallowed too much sea water . palace awaits .” the man assisted him up .

clark .

“her bright hair and her bright eyes . they were enchanting . i didn’t hallucinate it . i know she was there - and she saved me .”

“queen selina will be worried about you clark . come on .”

he was a prince . prince clark .
