The scepter could have been created by an ancient and powerful sea witch. Maybe she crafted it from the rarest of sea gems and enchanted it with her darkest magic. This would explain its great power in the story of the little mermaid.
Perhaps an old and wise merman. He has been protecting the secrets of the ocean for centuries and the scepter was entrusted to him. But now, with the events in the fanfiction, the question of who should truly possess it is up in the air.
Well, perhaps the scepter's power starts to fade for some mysterious reason. The mermaid sorcerers have to search for a special crystal that can recharge it. Along the way, they discover an ancient prophecy that says only a mermaid with a pure heart can fully restore the scepter's magic. So, they embark on a journey to find this special mermaid.
A human pirate could be the main antagonist. He accidentally discovers the scepter during a shipwreck and realizes its power. He then decides to use it to control the sea and all the creatures in it. The mermaids have to stop him from using the scepter in such a wrong way.
Ursula as a mermaid in fanfiction might also explore her backstory more deeply. She could have been a mermaid princess in a far - off part of the ocean. But due to a power struggle or a curse, she lost her status and became the villain we know. This could add a lot of depth to her character and make the fanfiction really engaging.
Prince Eric could be a main character. He would be important as he is Ariel's love interest. Also, King Triton, Ariel's father, could play a significant role as he would be concerned about Ursula's return and want to protect his daughter and the kingdom.
Perhaps in the fanfiction, Ariel and Eric get married and have to deal with the cultural differences between the underwater world and the human world. For example, Ariel has to learn the proper etiquette in Eric's kingdom while Eric tries to understand the unique traditions of Ariel's mermaid family.
In some Little Mermaid fanfiction, Ursula's origin might be depicted as a once - kind sea creature who was wronged. For example, she could have been betrayed by the mermaid royalty in the past, which led her to turn bitter and embrace dark magic.
Ursula in fanfiction may also interact with other characters differently. She could form unexpected alliances. For instance, she might team up with a mermaid who also feels outcast in the kingdom. This shows how fanfiction can change the dynamics of the relationships we know from the original Little Mermaid story.
