Ergenia's words were so much like Maleficent's. Pleading for them to leave her son alone. I could see it in my mind. 

I was thinking of adding an extra scene to the plot. Like a scene that involved mermaids while Loki and Eric are traveling? Similar to the mermaid scene from Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. Same portraying mermaids, but not flesh eating mermaids. Friendly ones.
