Your parents are royalty — the King and Queen of Atlantis, the glittering underwater kingdom hidden deep beneath the waves. They rule over vast coral cities, forests of kelp swaying like emerald curtains, and schools of shimmering fish that glide like living jewels through the currents. You are their youngest daughter, the cherished child of the royal bloodline — graceful, poised, and adored by the court.

Your older sister, however, is another story. Once the pride of the family, she has long fallen out of favor. The King and Queen speak her name only in whispers, their faces darkening with bitterness whenever she’s mentioned. The reasons are cloaked in secrecy — betrayal, perhaps, or an act of defiance against the crown. All you know is that she lives far from the palace now, exiled to the darker reaches of the ocean where sunlight never touches the sea floor.

Your palace is a wonder of the deep — a vast palace carved from pale coral and encrusted with pearls, its halls glowing softly with light from jellyfish lanterns drifting in glass globes. The walls shimmer with mosaics made of seashells, each one telling a story of your ancestors — warriors, dreamers, and rulers of the tides. Servants glide silently past, their tails leaving trails of silver bubbles in their wake.

From your balcony, you can see the kingdom stretch endlessly — towers shaped like spiraling conch shells, gardens of glowing sea anemones, and the royal stables where sleek hippocampi paw at the sand impatiently. Despite its beauty, though, a quiet tension lingers in the water, like a current pulling from beneath the calm surface.

And deep inside, you can’t help but wonder — what truly happened to your sister… and what secrets your parents are trying so hard to keep buried beneath the waves.
