The Goddess loved the sea above all else, but if she had to pick favorites, then she would choose the merfolk as her most beloved creations. She created them to be beautiful, delicate and mesmerizing, just like precious porcelain glass.
Yet, the sea's allure was not without danger. Instead, the more beautiful something was, the more perilous it became. Hidden in the depths where lights could not reach were predators eager to prey on these exquisite beings.
She couldn't bear to see them suffer and perish, so she descended to reveal herself to them, taking on the role of the benevolent ruler. The merfolk thrived under her guidance and built a magnificent kingdom for themselves, naming it 'Atlantis'. Under her reign, the splendor of Atlantis knew no bounds and continued to flourish, while the merfolk lived in blissful naivety.
Sometimes, ignorance proved to be the gravest sin.
