The lost kingdom


Long ago in an aquatic kingdom far, far away, there lived a royal family that all the merefolk loved. The parents, and rulers of the land, would put on the brightest festivals, help the needy with all of their problems, provide shelter and food for those who asked, and did whatever they could for all of the merefolk to enjoy. Hoping that the people they governed would live happily, the royal family was praised for all of their courage and kindness. For their kingdom was so rich, they had all of the money to enjoy and gave back as much as they could hoping that they will set a great example for their daughter and son. Soon after the kingdom had their annual festival, the king and queen decided to spread their love to other kingdoms around them. For their children; Ursula, and Trition, this would be the last time they saw them. Years have gone by after the death of their parents, and grief made it impossible to keep the kingdom happ. For Trition, he grew angry hoping that he could somehow replace the lose of his parents through his daughters. Ursula on the other hand, tried to stay true to having courage and staying kind. In all of her efforts, she let Trition rule the sea when he turned eighteen while doing her best to govern the poor unfortunate souls she came across to. Yet, her efforts were lost to the Kingdom as Tritons grief could not bare anymore, seeing Ursula everyday was a reminder of the happiness he had lost and as if there was no recourse, he abolished Ursula to a new land. If only the merefolk knew of this tragedy. Would the merefolk be so scared of Ursula, would Trition had easily covered up the deception, by accusing Ursula of ruling the land all on her own. The world will never know.
