JOURNEY TO ATLANTICA

Chapter 15
Return to the Sea Witches lair

Ariel it is time for us to go said Aquata.

All right Aquata repeated Ariel.

At that they set out to their destination the sea witches lair.

When they were almost there Ariel looked at Aquata and said, Aquata there is something you need to know. I know none of our family has ever been to this place before except me and daddy. Well I am here to tell you this when I went to show Eric and Melody where she lived I felt something, I think Ursula's spirit still fills this place waiting for the person to reincarnate her. It is truly evil and you need to be ready for anything to happen.

When you look at this place you will wonder how could Ariel ever go to a place like this and sell everything out. Her family, her world, her voice, her own sister, I never knew what she was planning and I never meant to hurt any of you.

I know Ariel.

They came up to the giant eel shaped house and as they reached the entrance Ariel and Aquata wrapped each other in their arms and prayed, first Ariel went, "Oh faithful heavenly father please watch over us and let no harm come to us in this place." Then Aquata, " Oh Neptune father of the sea, creator of the Ocean, you made this place and all of the creatures in it. I pray you watch over us and let no harm come to myself or Ariel, give us speed if something goes wrong Amen finished Aquata.

Before they let go Aquata and Ariel both said they loved each other.

Then they entered, it was darkness in the tunnel where the polyps used to be except at the end there was a glowing purple light.

Ariel looked to the floor and thought of the first time she had gone in there, how they attached themselves to her hand, how she had almost become one, how she watched her father turn into one.

She was suddenly scared, then furious,

She grabbed Aquatas hand and forced her out of there.

Ariel, what are you doing we need to get the counter curse yelled Aquata.

I can't do it Aquata. I can't go in there. It is just too evil.

Ariel, you must, I need your help, Ariel think about your mother and how much you love her and Eric.

You are right Aquata, I will do it.

They went back into the cave.

The room was exactly as Ariel had seen it last time.

her conch shell bed was in the corner along with her cabinet hold potions, and her vanity was also there and at the center of the room was her evil cauldron where she did all of her evil bidding.

Aquata her is where she kept her spells and Ariel pointed to the cabinet and opened it.

Inside was every potion and spell book know to anyone in the sea.

Ariel reached for the books and gestured to Aquata to take one.

Ok Aquata what do we look for?

In the possessing area you want to look for something called hate curse.

After hours of searching and when there seemed like they were not going to find it in the last book on the last page Ariel though she found it.

Aquata I think I have found it.

Aquata went over and looked at it.

This is it Ariel, great job.

It says here only the love of the seven daughters of triton can break the spell.

Ariel where is that mirror of yours?

Ariel handed Aquata the mirror and Aquata said, Lady Adriana princess of Atlatica, second oldest daughter of Triton.

In the mirror appeared Adriana.

Hello, Aquata said Adriana.

Adriana, Ariel and I have found the counter curse for Eric's mothers curse we need your Arista, Attina, Alana, and Adella to meet us up at the palace immediately, hurry we only have two hours until Eric's mother dies.

All right Aquata I will hurry we will be there as soon as we can repeated Adriana.

Neptune's speed to you said Adriana.

And to you, said Aquata.

In thirty minutes all the daughters of Triton were up at the palace with Eric and his mother at his side.

Now Aquata was telling her sisters what to do and Ariel was listening to her very carefully.

She did not want her mom to die not again.
