“There was a time when your words hurt me beyond measure. Now they only fuel my hatred for you.”

“You’ve violated the laws of the seas far too many times, Ursula. It’s time you return to the shores so you can dwell with those pathetic humans you love so well!”

“Is this about the princess Morningstar?”

“Yes. You know the law. Her father’s coffers have grown fat on fishing these waters! I won’t have you protecting his children while he puts mine in danger every time his men cast their nets into the sea!”

“I am not bound by your laws, Triton. I do not live in your waters. This realm is mine! I make the laws in the Unprotected Waters! Besides, you might be happy to know his coffers are now empty after some bad dealings with the Beast prince. Perhaps that is punishment enough? I don’t see why his daughter should suffer any further for her father’s choices.”

“Clearly you know well of daughters who’ve suffered for their fathers’ choices.”

“Don’t you dare speak of my father! Not ever! You don’t have the right!”

“That human wasn’t your true father, and he deserved his fate for surrounding himself with those repugnant murdering humans! You’ve become the thing you hated, Ursula, just like your victims in Ipswich.”

“Get out! And go back to your simpering, mealymouthed subjects! You have no power here, Triton! These are the Unprotected Waters. Your rule does not extend here or to me!”

“I have the means to take the last shreds of your power, and I shall do so at my pleasure if you extend your support to another human. This is your final warning, Ursula. Keep to the shadows, where foul ugly creatures belong, so no one may suffer the sight of you!”

“If I am this foul creature you describe, it’s by your design !”

“You’ve always been this way! You refused, even as a small child, to take the proper form.”

She was thunderstruck. She couldn’t believe what she was hearing. “What? What did you just say?”

“You heard me! You were a vile little thing. I left you adrift because I foresaw the monster you would become!”

“I wasn’t lost as you said? You left me?”

“Yes, and clearly it was the right choice. Look at you. You’re disgusting. Shameful.”

Ursula thought she had hardened her heart against her brother long before, when he banished her from his kingdom, but this betrayal was more than she could comprehend. Her mind whirled at the notion of a young Triton abandoning his little sister to the perilous waves, not knowing if she lived or died. Hoping she had met the latter fate.

No wonder he had never sought her out all those years.

She hadn’t the strength to ask what their parents had thought of her disappearance. She wouldn’t be able to bear it if they had been privy to her brother’s plan. Surely they hadn’t. They must have been told some lurid tale of mishap. She wondered if they had ever suspected their “perfect” son of such a terrible deed.
