She could never forget him completely, though. Once she learned to spy with the eels, she sent them to the kingdom to see what he was up to. She almost wished she hadn't once she found out.
It hadn't even been a month, and he had already found someone new. The new woman had a beautiful mane of red hair. Hopefully their child would also be a redhead.
Ursula told herself she didn't care. If Triton had gotten over their relationship so fast, so would she. She had her magic and her eels. Nevermind that she used her eels and magic to spy on Triton as often as she could.
Her skin started turning a sickly hue, and she wondered if it was because of the magic, or all her time inside the dark cavern. She also felt empty. Starving. Her continuous eating was affecting her as well. Not that any of it mattered.
It didn't take Triton long to marry the redhead. This confused Ursula at first, but then it occured to her that he must have been planning this all along. She still didn't know why she had given birth to two blondes, but they had been the perfect excuse to banish her, and then he could be with his new woman. Ursula almost laughed at herself. She had always fancied herself a clever woman, but here Triton had been scheming behind her back.
It had been tempting to ruin the wedding, but it was time for Ursula to really think things through.
For years, Ursula watched through the eels' eyes. Triton and his wife had a daughter, and indeed, she grew up to have long red hair like her mother. The wife died because of some humans, and Ursula thought Triton had to be grateful now that he could find a new wife, but instead his heart stayed broken for years. Part of Ursula wanted to comfort him, but she knew he would only look at her with disgust if he saw her now. Once he had gotten over his grief, he had eyes for no one but his youngest daughter, and Ursula's thirst for revenge grew stronger than ever.
And then his daughter had fallen in love with a human. As soon as it happened, Ursula knew what to do.
Tired of reminiscencing, Ursula removed the enchantment from the mirror, and back was her old, unpleasant self. This made it easier to consentrate on the task at hand. And she had to get ready. It was finally her wedding day, after all.
Oh my god, this is amazing. I especially love the twist in that last line -- finally her wedding day. This is such an awesome idea to have followed, and you did it so brilliantly!
