The sea was calm and peaceful; the water was a crystal blue. Sun rays danced along the oceans floor while fish cast shadows on the sand below. The shell fields were full of colorful shells of all shapes and sizes. On this particular day, Princess Leah of Atlantica was busy trying to find the biggest and best new shells. Her bright red hair swirled around her face and she had to keep pushing it back so she could see!
She loved spending time alone in the shell fields. She prided herself on being the best shell collector in Atlantica. Her mother Princess Alana even let her have a special chest to keep the best ones in after she swam into Leah's room one day to discover that she couldn't see anything on account of all the shells! Soon she had so many that she had trouble lifting the bag and had to drag it away from the field! She pulled and dragged for quite some time when she finally saw the shining city of Atlantica in the distance. She stopped to rest a moment on a flat slab of stone. She sighed and smiled as the sun rays reached her and made her feel warm and happy. How could this day get any better? She thought to herself. Suddenly the water around her grew cold and caused her to shiver she started to get up and head for home when the ground beneath her opened up and a vacuum like force pulled her down into it! She tried to fight it but it was too strong! She screamed with all she had in her hoping that someone would hear her and help her. Soon she disappeared into the crevice closed up and the sea returned to its peaceful state and all that was different about the area was a bag of shells that had been abandoned by its lost owner.
