Time: Week 14, Night
Warnings: Creepy tentacles?

In the shadowy depths of the ocean surrounding Paixao, Ursula slowly opened her eyes. Unlike the ocean she was used to, these waters were unnaturally empty of any sea life other than herself. As her eyes adjusted to the dim light of the moon shining through the water, flat sand far below her stretched out behind her until it faded into the darkness. Pursing her lips, Ursula turned slowly, gracefully in the water, taking stock of her sparse surroundings.

If this was the afterlife, someone had a poor sense of humor.

The last thing she recalled, the little spiky-haired brat and his friends had spoiled all her plans. They killed her precious darlings, her poopsies! Taken back the trident she worked so hard to get! Pushed her into the cavernous shadows where she'd fallen for...such a long time. Then to have the darkness fade and to end up in these strange waters?

Growling to herself, Ursula's tentacles curled into themselves briefly as she imagined strangling the so-called heroes. But! Business before pleasure. She pushed herself gracefully through the water and broke the surface, tossing back the short white hair that flopped forward onto her face. What was that in the distance? A human kingdom? She narrowed her eyes, feeling more than one familiar aura of darkness.

Great. She was here, too. Well, that explained everything. The snooty Mistress of Evil had no doubt summoned her here after that spectacular failure. As Ursula made short work of swimming to the shore, opting to use the river that seemed to go right up to the entrance, she was not relishing the meeting to come. If she could feel Maleficent's presence, surely she'd known she was here by now, so there was no choice but to obey for now. Play the role of the willing lackey until the opportune moment.

Slowly rising out of the river, her tentacles slapped wetly onto the sand. Reaching up to pat at her hair, Ursula moved over the grass with supernatural ease, tentacles curling and twisting under her in organized chaos. Approaching a small line of humans, her red-nailed hand roughly gripped one of humans by the shoulder and tossed him aside. Her tentacles did the same, grabbing and tossing and pushing people to the side as she cut to the front of the line.

"Hello, hon," she cooed at the trembling gatekeeper. Her hand shot out and gripped his chin. With a hard squeeze, she lifted him up closer to her face, made more terrible by the malevolent grin. "Would you be so kind as to tell me where Maleficent is?"
