A retelling of The Little Mermaid 3 Ariel's Beginning with a young adult Melody as the protagonist instead. A sequel to my Return to the Sea AU fanfic, but you do NOT need to read the first to understand this sequel. After the death of his beloved Queen, Triton bans all magic in his kingdom. 30 years later, a young adult Melody is left grappling with the consequences.

An AU of The Little Mermaid 2: Return to the Sea where Melody is 19 instead of 12, along with other tweaks and differences. New chapter every Monday, and you can read ahead on my deviantart: https:/www.deviantart I also have Disney/Melody edits like the cover image there. Please leave me your thoughts! I want to hear it all, critiques, comments, etc.
