The Sea King governed the underwater realm far out in the sea, where the water is quite deep.
His fortress was located in the deepest part of the ocean. Blue coral was used to create the walls. There were shells on the roof that would open and close in response to the water. The Sea King, his mother, and their four daughters—who were all born a year apart—lived there.
The Little Mermaid chawas the youngest of the four princesses. She spent most of her time swimming at ships that had sunk to the ocean below. Treasures from the upper world were on board the ships. She would assemble her collection in various locations while filling her arms. She would sing the entire time. Fish gathered around to hear her as she did. Because the voice of the Little Mermaid character was the most exquisite underwater.
The girls were aware that they would be able to swim to the surface for the first time when they became 15 years old. The Little Mermaid would have to wait a very long time because she was the youngest. She forced her grandma to explain everything about living on land to her. stories about towns and ships, as well as all the human-related tales she was aware of.
The oldest sister is soon to be 15. She was the first who was given permission to ascend to the surface. She had a lot of marvels to share with her sisters when she got back! She spoke about relaxing on the fine, white sand. A brilliant blue sky with fluffy white clouds was visible high above. Later, she claimed, the sun sank, and the entire sky turned crimson and gold. She had seen the birds as they flew far above her, dipping and turning in the sky’s crimson and gold.
It was winter when the next sister turned 15.
She spoke of icebergs that shone brightly while floating in the water. She claimed that all the ships avoided the icebergs, perhaps out of terror. But the icebergs didn’t appear to be isolated. They were floating close to one another like pals.
When the third sister’s time came, she related how she tried to get as near as she could to a town’s entrance. People shouting and horses clip-clopping along the street could be heard by her. even music she had never previously heard.
The Little Mermaid was amazed to hear all of this. She shouldn’t have had to wait the longest, it wasn’t fair! Finally, she reached her 15th birthday. She could now ascend above the surface and take a look for herself.
The Little Mermaid was standing close to a sizable ship when she rose above the ocean. Beautiful music was playing on the ship. On the deck, sailors were dancing. They were enjoying themselves and laughing a lot. It must be a celebration! She could see more clearly every so often when the waves pulled the Little Mermaid aloft. A tall, appealing young man emerged onto the deck. One hundred rockets shot into the air when he did. It was a party for him. Was he a birthday boy? She moved in close.
All of the males appeared to like that young man. The sailors would chuckle as he talked. On occasion, they gave him a hearty pat on the back. That once caused his crown to come off. The men scooped it up while laughing. A crown, the Little Mermaid remarked. “I’m sure he’s a royal.”
Suddenly, the wind increased up and it got quite black. On the deck, the seamen began to scurry about. The sail was lowered by them. The vessel swooped and dove. On the big waves, it rocked from side to side and up and down.
Next came lightning. Thunder. A severe downpour occurred. On the choppy seas, the unfortunate ship started to lean! The Little Mermaid was blinded by the darkness. The young prince was on deck when the sky was suddenly illuminated by lightning. He appeared to be the sole one who had remained. To keep the ship afloat, he was exerting great effort. To his troops who had leaped, he was tossing ropes. But all of a sudden, the waves became extremely large, and the ship began to capsize. The Prince was thrown overboard after being tossed over the edge of the ship. He plummeted into the water below.
