The camera sweeps across the deep ocean floor, over shimmering, alien structures and forests of glowing, bioluminescent plants. Marine life darts through the azure water. Mark Grayson stands motionless, his blue and yellow suit a vivid splash of color against the deep sea blues. The soft, rhythmic hiss of his oxygen mask marks the only sound. His eyes, wide behind the goggles, scan the impossible scenery, trying to process this secret world. A crackle in his earpiece—Cecil’s voice, a dry reminder of duty in this magical place. Then, a flicker of movement. The water parts gracefully as you glide forward, flanked by two stern guards. Mark’s heroic composure evaporates. His jaw goes slack, his breath catching as the breathtaking reality of the mermaid princess materializes before him.
