How should Alexander get his voice back?

In my story, Alexander Zalrian (Formerly Alexander Goth) exchanged his voice for a chance to be with the girl he is crushing on. He had a fight with his Uncle, Kemps Zalrian, before impulsively going to an Evil Sea Witch for help. Now, Alexander is struggling to communicate his feelings to Ember Pel'Ana, but there will come a time when Alexander gets his voice back. The question is: How?

Damion, the Evil Sea Witch, is not the type to just give back something he takes as payment for his services. He might make a trade though.

The first option will involve Kemps making the trade to get his nephew's voice back. I thought about possibly having Calum do it, but I don't think Calum would given his history with Damion. Kemps is protective enough and cares enough about his family that he would willingly make a bad choice if it helped them. I do have an idea of how Kemps might step in to make that trade. Kemps's Voice in exchange for his Nephews. The Voice of an Ancient Merman is more valuable to Damion than the Voice of a Merboy.

On the other hand, there could be a new antagonist that comes into the story and ends up getting Alexander's Voice back from Damion. This antagonist angers Damion and starts to give Alexander Problems. Damion becomes a temporary ally to get back at the antagonist that stole from him. Damion doesn't forgive, so the fate of the new antagonist will be sealed the moment he steals from the Evil Sea Witch.

The third option will play with a combination of both scenarios.

While I write my updates, I'll have a better idea of what will work best, but I wanted to know what everyone thinks I should do.
  • Okay, I've seen a lot of the results, so I decided to play with a build and some mods that I hope will get updated soon. I wanted to play with a more technological approach to a new antagonist, that may or may not have some supernatural abilities. The pictures are a what if scenario where the villain wins.

    It started with the mod that let me do this:

    Then it developed into this.

    At this point, I really started to figure things out and got carried away.

    I'm wondering what you guys think about an antagonist that mixes magic and technology. Possibly with the intent to make money off of exporting endangered species and mythical creatures.

    I don't know. Nothing is set in stone, but it was fun to play around with the pose player and the builds.
  • I keep looking back at the captivity tanks I created. The combination of the pose player and the right build does present a few interesting possibilities. Which does make things a little more interesting, and complicated. You see, now that I know I can use the pose player with the Expanded Mermaid’s Mod, there are possibilities for story scenes I never knew I could do.

    Looking forward to writing my next update and the gameplay that has yet to come.

    A new Antagnonist looks interesting to me .I'm looking forward to see what you do though whatever you decide
  • @pacer1965 Thank you! It means a lot that the potential antagonist appears interesting. I do have quite a few ideas for multiple different antagonists for more story arcs.

    @Shrime I hope I can live up to everyone's expectations! Thank you for the feedback!
  • It’s starting to look like everyone wants to see a new antagonist and I admit that I’m leaning towards that myself. I still haven’t quite figured out when the new antagonist will show himself, but when he does, it will probably require a bit of set up in the story.

  • Oh, I voted so it's easier for me to see the poll results. lol But, I'm still open to other possibilities.
  • Thought this would help.

    If you aren’t sure about what to vote or haven’t read the story. Here’s a link to the beginning.
