(Queen Selina's Intro)
'There is an enduring tenderness in the love of a mother to a son that transcends all other affections of the heart; but the girl he meets on day is the one who will whisk him away, create a life with him, a family, a home, she's the one that will find his lost wallet and hear his frustrations at the end of the day and his excitement in the morning, she will be the keeper of his heart and the love he builds his life around, that girl is what I want for him...a partner, a best friend, a passion, a co-parent; I want my son to create his own life, family, purpose, and why in this world, but It's also true that I want to be a part of it' ~ Washington Irving & Grown and Flown.
(Queen Selina's Pov) * An hour Earlier *
I was in the throne room, anxiously awaiting news about my son and this mysterious woman, that the survivors of the crew have taken to call La Sirène.
For a moment, panic swept over me as I recalled my deepest fears of mermaid myths drowning sailors, (fears I had long before Eric escaped reality through his long distance voyages), before Grimsby explained what happened before sending out the first search squandren, sharing how the crew, in their panic, confused the young women he knew as Y/n L/n, (who he raised alongside the girls mother M/n L/n before he was premantly stationed here), for a mermaid when she surface out of nowhere, miraculously saving Max by pushing him back above the ocean's waterline after nearly sinking under for a second.
From what Grimsby has told me, before going out to oversee the search/rescue effort, this young woman helped my son''s beloved pet to the life rafts, and before he could help her up, the Ship sank & tipped back; tossing Eric into the ocean and Y/n dived back under the water immediately after him.
To say my heart was racing with worry would be an understatement and gratitude wouldn't be strong enough to describe how thankfully I am for Y/n's bravery.
It takes a hell of a lot of courage to swim out to a shipwreck caught in the middle of a tropical storm in a raging sea, outside opinion would call that reckless/dangerous/stupid.
I looked at the portarit of my husband with my son (when he just turned 7) hanging on the left side wall of the entrance to the Throne room. I then said softly, a tear escaping my eyes as I fiddled with the simple chain I was wearing around my neck, with a single mother of pearl in the center of my dolphin pendant (the last birthday gift my husband gave me before he died).
'Oh Walter, I long for your presence right now; I'm lost without you. I'm worried sick about Eric and Y/n L/n, and I just wish you were here to reassure me that they'll be okay'.
"Mighty Poseidon, Lord of the Sea, I humbly plead for a sign that my son is safe, alongside the brave Y/n L/n who risked everything to save him. Please, let my little boy survive one more shipwreck".
For a moment, everything was silent, until the sound of Max barking reached my ears as the first light of dawn streamed into the thrown room.
My heart was beating rapidly, nearly overwhelming the commotion of the search/rescue squad coming/going, then everything ceased after Marcella & Grimsby commanded everyone to be quiet.
I could hear his voice faintly, (and it sounded like it was coming from outside but he was getting closer), as relief/enormous joy flooded through my body.
Eric: "Lower the drawbridge!
(I placed my heart over my chest, the happy smile spreading across my face nearly made my cheeks hurt, but then a gut wrenching feeling bubbled up in my stomach when Eric called out again.
' Something's not right, he sounds distressed '.)
Lower the drawbridge"!
The Castle/Castle Courtyard was in an uproar, filled with the sounds of Guards and Staff responding to a code red emergency.
The thought that Eric could be severely injured and walking on foot with help, or Y/n needing help, or both had my legs froze in place, unable to find the will to stand up and run.
The chaos of the outside world was drowned out by the worries/fears in my head as moments passing me by felt like hours.
Queen Selina: 'I shouldn't have let him go on that voyage'; 'I should have fought harder to make him stay'; ' I'm responsible for failing in protecting my son'.
The moment the double doors opened and Jimmy and Tony entered, I was snapped out of my head and stood up.
Tony answered the silent question I was afraid to ask while catching his breath.
"He's alright your Majesty".
