Long ago when the land and sea first met, there was a treaty made between the two. Every thousand years there would be an arranged marriage between the land and the sea. The records of the meeting fell into myth and lore, but the treaty continued to stand, and a thousand years later when the UN stumbled upon the treaty, they called a silent meeting. Only the heads of each country were allowed to attend the meeting. There, they invited the king of Atlantis, Aquaman, aka Arthur Curry. By the stance the treaty took, his mother's relationship with his father did not count. Since the King didn't have a blood child at the time of the meeting, his heir and protege, Kaldur'ahm, would be chosen as the next in line for the throne. It was decided that since they had six years left to fulfill the treaty, and Prince Kaldur'ahm was only sixteen, they would wait two years to alert the entire world and the prince. The two years came and went, with no new developments, and every girl aged sixteen to eighteen received a letter on the thirteenth of August, announcing the treaty, and making them all apply to be on a list with the UN, to possibly be chosen to go through a series of tests to see if they could be a good Queen for the underwater kingdom. If they succeeded, and the prince, king, and queen gave their approval, then they would be given a serum that would allow them to live underwater. For some girls it was a dream come true, for others it was a nightmare. And for one girl in particular, it was the worst thing that could have ever happened to her.
