20-year old Maria Ramirez and 21-year old Lucas Hannigan are prolific ocean explorers selected to explore the Mariana Trench's Challenger Deep to discover more species of sea life. While down in the depths of Challenger Deep, they receive a distress signal like no other-
"Whoever's out there, please help! Ceto has been captured! Find the cave where the jellyfish gather!"
Rushing to help whoever is in trouble at this depth, they find the cave and charge inside- to find themselves in a whole new world. Diana, queen of the merpeople, desperately needs their help. Ceto, the goddess of sea monsters, was captured by the apex predators of her realm- a prehistoric mashup of a chilling variety of sea monsters- massive sea crocodiles, giant squids the size the Empire State Building, dinosaurs who should have gone extinct millions of years ago, and worst of all- the megalodon. The undersea realm of monsters has been thrown out of balance, and the apex predators control nearly every territory in the hidden world of water- except for the city of Aquaris, where Diana's people live deep inside a sea cliff. With an army of merpeople behind them, Maria, Lucas, and Diana must find a way to free Ceto and save her realm before the apex predators control everything- and before the humans run out of oxygen in their tanks.

The mermaid's secret tale 🧜🏼♀️₊˚✧𑁍.ೃ࿔*:･🫧 / Aqualuna / Comiverse universe
Rachel always knew she was different. By day, she was just another face in the crowded halls of Crestwood High-a quiet, bookish girl who kept her head down, aced her classes, and secretly crushed on Mike, the boy who made her heart race. But when the sun dipped below the horizon, everything changed. The moment moonlight touched her skin, Rachel transformed into a breathtaking mermaid with shimmering moonlight-purple scales, her legs vanishing into a powerful tail. She had spent her whole life hiding her secret. No one could know what she was-especially not Mike. If anyone discovered the truth, she could be captured, experimented on, or worse. But the ocean was calling her more than ever before. Strange things had begun happening in the waters near Crestwood. Whispers of a forgotten prophecy, a mermaid kingdom in danger, and a mysterious force rising from the depths haunted Rachel's dreams. Then, one night, Rachel witnesses something she wasn't supposed to see-a group of dangerous hunters searching for something... or someone. They spoke of an ancient relic lost beneath the waves, one that could grant ultimate power to whoever wielded it. And they were getting closer. Rachel must decide: continue living her double life in secrecy or embrace the ocean's call to protect her kind. But as she dives deeper into the mystery, she realizes she's not the only one keeping secrets. Because Mike? He's hiding something too... ~🧜♀️🫧⭐️🔱~

The Secrets behind The Megalodons [DISCONTINUED]
Beneath the ocean's surface, a hidden world of giants lurks. Megalodons rule the deep, with the mysterious megalodons thriving in the cold abyss, while normal Megalodons dominate warm waters. But beyond them, legends tell of a King of Megalodons, a being so powerful that a single attempt to capture him can unleash a Meg attack. Meanwhile, the Great White Lord, a ruthless shark with glowing red eyes and a king's crown, seeks to prove himself the ultimate predator. Ruling over lesser sharks, he views the Megalodons as rivals-but no matter how much he challenges or tricks them, he always falls short. With a magical wizard granting enchants to those in need and the rare megs such as golden megalodon guiding the way, the ocean is full of surprises. But in this vast, unforgiving world, survival is never guaranteed. For centuries, the Megalodon was believed to be extinct-just a legend of the past. But recent reports from deep-sea explorers and fishermen tell a different story. Massive shadows lurking beneath the waves, entire boats vanishing without a trace, and strange encounters with creatures far too large to exist. Determined to uncover the truth, a team of scientists embarks on a daring mission. Armed with cutting-edge technology and relentless curiosity, they seek to understand how these prehistoric giants have survived for so long. But research alone isn't enough. To prove the far more than just enormous sharks. With some living only in warm waters and others-like the Phantom and Ancient Megs-thriving in the cold abyss, the ocean holds secrets beyond imagination. But there's another force at play. The King of Megalodons, a creature capable of summoning a Meg attack when threatened, ensures that no intruder leaves unscathed. Are we the reason that the King is striking?
