The Water Tempest and the Prophecy

Deep below the water's surface, in a city unknown to man, terror had inverted all the norms. An elder or even a young mer sprat could be potentially dangerous if the evil had found its way to control them. Even venturing outside the boundaries of the city wall was perilous. Nowhere was really safe. The evil behind the chaos was a race of beings called the Aritoves. They desired the golden flute, one of the most powerful magic on earth, which has been guarded by the Mer people for centuries. In the midst of the fears and sorrow, a prophecy came about that offered hope. The prophecy spoke of a hero that could bring the reigning nightmare to an end.

Aquella is a mer-princess of the River Breed and is also fingered to be the one spoken of in the prophecy. She is betrothed to the prince of the Sea Nesbits, one of the most desired males underwater. And yet she is unhappy and longs for an adventure outside of her expected roles. Will the princess be able to fulfill the desires of her hungry heart and at whose expense? Is it the water world or her prince? Or could it be both?
