Rue, a marine biologist, has just made the discovery of a lifetime!
He found a mermaid's egg in the wreckage of a tsunami; however, touching it had awakened an ancient curse placed upon him at birth. Causing him to slowly transform into the Queen Se...
I finally got the much-needed sleep as I dreamt under the waves as my mind was set adrift. A voice softly sang to me in a sweet angelic tone:
