She was given a key, and it unlocked something much more than what she had asked for. Her identity. Knowing that part of her was extraterrestrial. And she was not the only one. There were about fifteen hundred more like her, recruited by their 'other half' to be trained in the lost city of Atlantis -- their underwater base on Earth. All to prevent a double-apocalypse that was to come in 2012. But is there more to it? More to why these children were hybrids in the first place? Or why there is a deadly resistance against the bid to save Earth and Bastaeola from extinction?
