Chapter the First: In Which Mermaids are Pirates and Ariel is Introduced

This is not the true story. Indeed, it's unlikely we will ever know the true story; it has been lost to time. But this is certainly closer than the stories you have heard before. The story I am going to tell is about a family of pirates, a boy of noble birth, and twenty-three little mermaids... who weren't mermaids at all.
