Atlantis
A glorious place,
Filled with merpeople,
Songs,
Science,
A whole hidden kingdom.
But a twist on this glorious wonderful kingdom.
Magical, mystical, hidden powers.
Magic comes with a price, right?
No, not here where everyone lives happily.
Because a curse is a type of magic.
A small price to pay to have unlimited power.
Who wouldn’t go for it?
Live underwater forever for power.
A rare opportunity like this who would give it up.
Curses from the gods aren’t that bad, right?
A curse to be underwater is nice, right?
Right, everything will just be all okay?
That’s what the gods said so we must follow.
That’s what they said to do, so let’s do it…right?
