Italy (Little Mermaid 1989 film)

**Italy**, officially known as the **Italian Republic** and **Republic of Italy**, is a country that; is located in south-central Europe.

## History

Italy was discovered; by a group of colonists in the early 1300 B.C and founded as a country in the late 1200 B.C, over the years it grew to become one of the most established and powerful nations on the entire planet.

### 10th century

On May 21st, in the year 600, a group of six immensely powerful dark sorcerers invaded the country of italy to conquer it; with the proud nation near destruction, the king of italy, Nathaniel was desperate to save his kingdom and his people from destruction, so he travelled to the temple of gods to pray for their help. Only one of the gods answered the call; the beast god of justice, light and peace, Lycaon.

Although the beast god, Lycaon did not directly aid Nathaniel in his confrontation against the dark sorcerers, but he did provided him; with the means to defeat the dark sorcerers; by granting the king of italy both superhuman physical attributes and mystical attributes; such as the power to shapeshift; into a lion bestial; at will, as well as having a connection to several different types of energy; particularly mystical energy; which; allowed him to use magic; with Nathaniel's new-found powers, he was able to defeat the dark sorcerers; saving italy from destruction and restoring piece to his nation, unbeknownst to the citizens of italy, the lion bestial; who saved them; was in fact their king, became the new symbol of their nation, as well as the symbol of the royal family of italy itself.

### Between the 10th and 16th centuries

For centuries; since the days of king Nathaniel; the royal family have protected italy from mystical threats; albeit in a cautious and distant way so that; they would not draw any unwanted attention to their nation, as they kept their status as mystical beast warriors a secret from the public. Only members of the italian royal bloodline; who have inherited the beast force, were aware of the existence of the magical world, as well as their responsibility to protect their nation from mystical threats.

Initially, the italian royal family had only protected italy itself from mystical forces, but overtime, as more mystical threats began to emerge, they decided to use there powers to protect the world at large from mystical threats and in so doing - came accross the Celestial Order, an organization of mystical warriors; who use their combined powers to protect the world from dangerous mystical threats. As a result; the royal bloodline of italy became members of that; said order.

### Between the 16th and 17th centuries

The prince of italy of this time, Nathan; who had inherited the beast force, was (secretly) recruited; into the Celestial Order, continued to serve the order; even after his coronation as king, he was able to perfectly balance being both a member of the Celestial Order and the ruler of his nation; but Nathan eventually retired from the order; but continued to rule italy in peace, he also fathered a son, named Eric.

But Unlike Nathan; Eric did not inherit the beast force; due to the fact that; it had skipped his generation.

As a result; Nathan did not inform his son, Eric about the magical world and the beast force, as well as their family's responsibility to protect their nation and the world at large from supernatural threats.

Because Nathan only had one child, named Eric, he had passed away; before he had a chance to have more children; who could have potentially inherit the beast force; when Nathan had passed away, his secret had died along; with him and the mystical legacy of the italian bestials would remained dormant for several years.

Several years later, Eric had married a mermaid, named Ariel; who was one of the princesses of the kingdom of Atlantica and they had seven children; named Melody, Aaron, Justin, Stephan, Diana, Marina and Rachel respectively; such an extensive family of supernatural potential, the Celestial Order established contact; with these heirs, having kept their distance from italy; until members of the italian royal bloodline inherit the spirit of the beast.

Although Eric and Ariel's eldest child/daughter, Melody did not inherit the beast force, but rest of the children did; with the help of the Celestial Order, the mystical bestials became active once again, as they were (secretly) recruited; into the Celestial Order; carrying-out the duties that; their paternal ancestors and their late paternal grandfather, Nathan had done before them; protecting both italy and the world at large from supernatural forces.
