The younger princess also wished to find her heart's desire, and so stepped forward and pricked her finger on the thorn of The Blood Rose. Then she felt the sudden urge to visit the Dark Ocean. When she came to the shore, the black waves were filled with the wreckage of a ship. 

The dark mer played with the broken debris and wood, but when the princess asked if any had survived, they pointed to a single man who lay face down in the sand. The princess rushed to his side, and when she turned him over, found a young, handsome sailor.

 He was near-drowned, but the princess leaned forward, and with a single kiss bestowed him with the Dark Magic. He opened eyes the oddest shade of periwinkle blue and the younger princess realized she had found her deepest desire: Love.
