It is said that at the bottom of a very wide and deep sea, there was a large palace containing a sea king with his mother and six children. The kingdom under the sea is said to be very beautiful because it is made of blue coral, equipped with a shell roof that can be opened and closed.
Of the king's six children, four of them were girls, and the other two were boys. The king's little daughter was named Ariel. He is known as the most active child among his five older siblings.
He spent his childhood playing near sunken ships that had fallen to the bottom of the sea. Not alone, Ariel is always accompanied by a fish who always accompanies him.
While spending time on sunken ships around the kingdom, Ariel often sings while looking for treasures that she finds around the ships. Everyone at the bottom of the sea knows that Ariel has the most beautiful voice in the ocean.
When she was just a teenager, Ariel began to ask the king for permission to swim to the surface. Previously, the king gave his six children a rule not to swim to the surface before they were 15 years old.
On her birthday, Ariel asked her father for permission to see the seabed with her own eyes.
"Dad, I'm 15 years old now. Am I allowed to swim to the surface like other older siblings?" the Mermaid asked her father.
As the youngest child, the king was doubtful and worried about his daughter's safety, but he still agreed because this had become a rule he had made for his six children.
"You can go to the surface, Ariel. But you have to be careful and return to the palace immediately," said the sea king who was immediately given a warm hug by his daughter.
When the sea king gave permission, Ariel and her fish friends swam to the surface. When he first emerged from the sea, he saw a large ship anchored in the middle of the sea. "Look at the fish, there is a big ship over there. Come on, let's get closer!" said the Mermaid Princess to her little friend. The two sea creatures immediately swam towards the ship. However, Ariel chose to hide on the large rocks around the ship. How surprised Ariel was when she heard the sound of musical accompaniment from inside the ship, as well as the sailors dancing on it. he said again to the fish, "It looks like there's a party on the boat. They sound very happy."
While watching the sailors partying, Ariel then saw a handsome young man walking outside the deck of the ship. Ariel was curious and got closer. ***"Very handsome, he must be a prince," said Ariel. Seeing how the young man managed to divert his attention, Ariel said to the fish that he really wished he could have two legs like humans. So he could meet the young man directly. However, suddenly a big wave came and was followed by a rainstorm. Mermaid Princess's reverie was immediately interrupted because she saw the ship bobbing in the ocean. "Come on, let's get closer and help the sailors there," said Ariel and immediately swam towards the ship.
Ariel saw how the young man tried to help his friends on the ship. But unfortunately, the young man was thrown and fell into the ocean. Ariel, who knew that humans could not live underwater, seemed to immediately dive and approach the young man. He pulled him to the edge of the beach, Ariel looked confused because the young man had never regained consciousness and opened his mouth. While contemplating on the coral, he asked himself, "Is he dead?" A few moments later, Ariel also sang a sad song which unconsciously made the young man start to move and open his eyes. Mermaid Princess stopped singing her song and approached the young man. "Oh, you finally woke up! Are you okay?" asked Ariel while touching the forehead of the young man in front of her. Before she could answer her question, Ariel began to hear the voices of several women around the beach. She immediately dived back quickly so that her identity as a mermaid would not be discovered by humans.
Since then, Mermaid Princess has never met a young man whose name she hasn't even asked. She returned to the palace with a gloomy face. As years passed, Ariel again remembered the figure of the young man she had helped on the surface of the sea. He then told his grandmother and admitted that he really wanted to meet the young man. "My little granddaughter, you certainly know that it's impossible for us to walk on two legs like humans. The only ones who can do it are sea witches, but it's all too dangerous for you," said the grandmother to Ariel.
Even though his grandmother had given him advice, the youngest of the sea royal family did not heed it. Instead, she chose to go to a distant sea to meet the sea witch that her grandmother had intended. When she met the witch, Mermaid Princess explained her aims and objectives to be able to meet the young man she helped several years ago. "I really want to return to the surface and meet the young man I saved. However, I don't know his identity myself. Can you help me?" Ariel asked the sea witch. The witch, without thinking, immediately agreed to Putri's request. Mermaid, he also gave her a potion to give her two legs but with a condition.
"You have to throw away your melodious voice to exchange it for two legs like a human. Are you willing?" asked the wizard to confirm. "Okay, I'm willing. Are there any other conditions?" asked Mermaid Princess. ***"Yes, you have to marry him if you want to stay alive. If that young man marries someone else, you will die the next day and your voice will remain with me forever," *** continued the witch explaining. Even though she had doubts, Ariel also finally agreed to the terms that had been given. he then drank the potion that the witch had made. After that, he immediately fainted and woke up on land with two legs like a human.
After she woke up, Ariel was then reunited with the young man she had missed so much. Unknown to him, it was true that the young man was a king who lived in a magnificent palace. "Are you okay?" asked the prince, helping Ariel. Ariel began to be helped by the prince and invited to visit the palace. Previously, the prince also told about the events that happened to him, including the incident that saved him from a sea storm several years ago. The relationship between the two of them became closer to each other. The mermaid, who now has legs, thinks that she has hope of being able to marry her sweetheart.
But one day, the king or the prince's father asked his son to choose a future life partner who was a princess from another kingdom. Knowing this, both of their hearts were broken because they knew that they could not be together. Unbeknownst to Ariel, it turned out that her melodious voice which had been exchanged for feet had been transferred by the sea witch to the woman who was betrothed to the prince. Hearing the beautiful singing of a princess, the prince was amazed and agreed to the match. With a broken heart, Ariel returned to the sea and told his brothers. Then, the Mermaid's older brother told the king. But unfortunately, Mermaid Princess was suddenly held captive by a sea witch who really wanted the sea king's magic wand.
The mermaid survived, and the witch turned into a monster who came to the prince's wedding and wreaked havoc. Knowing this, Ariel returned to the prince's kingdom to save the prince from the threat of the monster. But unfortunately, Ariel was trapped by the monster's tentacles. Leaving empty-handed, Ariel apparently brought a knife and stabbed the sharp object into the monster's chest. Seeing that the Mermaid Princess was trapped, the prince also tried to help by shooting arrows at the monster. The arrow hit the target and made the monster turn back into a defeated witch. The defeat of the sea witch brought Mermaid Princess's sweet voice back to its original owner. Knowing that, Ariel was happy and started singing again.
"Ah, I really miss my voice!" said Ariel after singing a song. Hearing the song that Ariel sung, the prince was reminded of something. he recalled the voice of the woman who had helped him during the shipwreck tragedy several years ago. However, on the other hand, the princess who was going to be married to the prince did not accept it and tried to attack Ariel. Suddenly Ariel's father, the sea king, gets his scepter back and helps him fight his daughter's enemies. "Now I know that you were the one who saved me when my ship sank. Will you marry me?" asked the prince who was immediately answered 'yes' by Ariel. The two of them lived happily as husbands. wife in the prince's kingdom.
