"The Violet Waters have always been a secret to all the Merpeople. A legend was told that a terrible tragedy has hapened here many years ago. A ship has sunk with all the treasures it has been carrying. No one would ever go there, no one would even think about taking anything from the ship.
And so it stayed for many years.

But this one day three mermaids - the kings daughter and two of her friends - decided to swim near the wreck. They were deceived by the calmness of the water. With the sun shinning through it's surface everything seemed safe. Even the wreck looked inviting.

They swam nearer and nearer, until they reached the ship. But even before they swam in they found a chest lying on the deck. They opened it. It was filled with the most beautifull jewelery they have ever seen. Unable to resist they took one of the necklaces and placed it on the princess'es neck. She looked gorgeous so they decided to take the necklace as a souvenir, assuming one thing wouldn't make it a difference.

They were so wrong. The moment they left the wreck, the whole ocean suddenly filled with jellyfish. they were everywhere, surrounding the mermaids. At first the girls were just suprised but then painfull stings made them realise that danger was close. Scared they gathered together trying to hold each other's hands. But the blood oozing out of the wounds attracted other creatures, ruthless predators of the ocean. The girls have not spotted them... yet."
