Chapter 1: Here Be Dragons

In a severe rainstorm, a fishing boat just pulled into the docks on the coast of Greenland. "Quick! Help me unload!" The fisherman, named Noaq, exclaimed, tossing his friend a rope. "I need to get back out there!" "What, are you crazy?! You can't go back out there! That storm!" The other guy, named Takar, exclaimed. "Forget the storm! Something's happening! Like the sea is full of fish!" Noaq exclaimed. "The sea is always full of fish!" Takar argued. "No, no! It's like every fish in the ocean is out there!" Noaq exclaimed. "Look out!" Takar cried. A giant wave, along with something with bright glowing green eyes, washed over the dock. The 2 men held onto the dock as the wave died over. "Did you see…" Takar tried to say. "My boat! Where's my boat?" Noaq asked. "It was…huge!" Takar exclaimed. "Oh, my boat!" Noaq cried.

(Intro)

'My family are explorers. We have been for generations. While others look out at the stars, we know there are an infinite number of things that shine in the darkness below. There are things lurking in the sea that long ago vanished into myth. My family are explorers. And we explore…the Deep.'

On board the Aronnax, a state-of-the-art submarine owned by the Nekton family, Antaeus 'Ant' Nekton and his older sister, Fontaine, were doing some training with their pet fish, a Yellowback Basslet named Jeffery. Fontaine's identical twin sister, Dionna, and their younger brother, Skipper, walked over to them. "Ant, Fontaine, what are you guys doing?" Dionna asked. "We're training our fish." Ant said. "Training?" Skipper asked, a bit confused. "That's right." Fontaine said. "To do what?" Dionna asked. "To fetch." Ant said. "You guys are training a fish to fetch?" Dionna asked in disbelief. "Think about it. If Ant can train our little friend here to fetch, it could be useful to help find hidden objects or even locate one of us if we get separated." Fontaine explained. "But a fish has like a 3 second memory." Dionna said. "Di's right. Even if you train him, he'll just forget what he learned like that." Skipper said, snapping his fingers.

"Here, we'll show you. One of you hop into the moon pool." Ant said. "Sure. I'll humor you for a bit." Dionna said, hopping into the moon pool. Ant tossed her a glow stick he was using to train Jeffery with. "Alright, here's your chance to prove yourself, Jeffery." Ant said, letting Jeffery hop into the moon pool. "Jeffery? That's what you named the fish?" Skipper asked. "Come on, it's a nice name for a fish." Fontaine said. "Okay, Jeffery. Fetch!" Ant ordered. Dionna waved the glow stick, but Jeffery didn't understand. "Fetch!" Ant ordered. But Jeffery didn't listen. "Um, I think you need a bit more training, little bro." Dionna said. Ant didn't like that. Fontaine put a comforting hand on his shoulder. Unknown to Dionna, something was swimming in the moon pool with her. Just then, a flipper appeared out of the water, scaring Dionna. But it was just their mother, Kaiko, returning from a diving expedition. "Really, Mom?" Dionna asked in disbelief. "That never gets old." Kaiko said as they climbed out of the moon pool. "What's up?" "We were teaching Jeffery to fetch." Ant said. "But he still needs work." Fontaine said. "Yeah. A lot of work." Dionna said. "Now, Dionna, you must learn to have faith in the fish. Ant and Fontaine are working hard for Jeffery to learn a new trick." Kaiko said. Ant and Fontaine smiled at each other. "Where's your father?" Kaiko asked. "He's in his study, staring at some old map." Skipper said.

Later, Kaiko walked into her husband's study. Her husband and the kids' father, William, or Will for short, was looking at an old map. "We have newer maps." Kaiko said. "I know, Kaiko." William said. "We have satellite maps. All sorts of technology went into them. Some of them aren't even drawn in pencil." Kaiko said. "I know, Kaiko." William said. "Then why-" Kaiko tried to ask. "There are parts of this map that are surprisingly accurate. There are parts that are marked…Here Be Dragons." William said. "Will, we have newer maps." Kaiko said. "A week ago, there was an earthquake off the coast of Greenland. Since then, there have been some strange reports." William said. "What sort of reports?" Kaiko asked, knowing her husband's interests. "Sightings. Monster sightings. Plus, a fishing boat went missing." William said, pulling up a news clip about the recent attack in Greenland. "This is a map of the exact area. And I was just thinking…what if there were?" He asked. "Were what?" Kaiko asked. "Dragons." Ant answered as he and his siblings walked in. "Exactly." William said. "Well, it's probably not dragons." Kaiko said. "Probably not. But that's never stopped us before." William said. "So, we're going to Greenland to search for dragons. Makes me wonder what normal families do on a Sunday." Fontaine said. "Then it's a good thing we're not a normal family then." Ant said, making everyone chuckle.

Later, as hours passed, the family piloted the Aronnax towards Greenland. "Are we there yet?" Skipper asked out of boredom. "We're exactly 2 minutes closer to Greenland than we were the last time you asked." Kaiko said. "Which means I have time to fill you in on what we're looking for. Or better yet, Ant can fill us in." William said. "Sure thing, Dad." Ant said. Skipper groaned at this. "Okay. In 1734, something was sighted off the coast of Greenland. The founder of Greenland's Capital City, Hanzo Getty, and all those aboard his ship reported seeing a sea serpent larger than their whole ship." Ant explained. "Exactly. There have been sea monster sightings like this throughout history. In fact, my parents swore they encountered one while searching for lost Lemuria." William explained. "Really? I didn't know that." Kaiko said.

Suddenly, Fontaine spotted something on the ocean floor. "Full stop!" She called. "What is it?" Kaiko asked. "I saw something. Bring us about." Fontaine said. Kaiko turned the Aronnax around. "What are we looking for, sis?" Dionna asked. "I'm not entirely sure…wait! There!" Fontaine said, pointing to the thing she saw. "What is that?" Skipper asked. "I'd say that's the missing fishing boat." William said, seeing that it was the missing fishing boat. "But we're still 20 miles from the Greenland coastline. What's it doing out here?" Dionna asked. "I don't know." William said. "I'll go out and investigate." Ant said.

Later, he got into a state-of-the-art mech suit, called the White Knight. "Wait, why is it Ant's turn to use the White Knight?" Skipper asked. "Well, I had my turn during the sea cucumber investigation last week." Fontaine said. "But that was just a cucumber." Skipper whined. "Still counts as a turn." Ant said. "Yeah." Fontaine said, releasing Jeffery into the water as Ant was lowered into the moon pool via the claw. "You ready, big guy?" Ant asked. "Wait. You're bringing the fish?" Dionna asked. "He needs the exercise." Ant said. "But I thought he had enough exercise 'playing' fetch." Skipper said. "Skipper, have faith in the fish." Fontaine scolded.

The hatch at the bottom opened up, allowing Ant and Jeffery to exit the Aronnax. They swam towards the fishing boat. "Anything strange?" William asked through the com-link. "Aside from the fishing boat being miles away from when it went missing, this is strange. Half the boat is missing. And it's still full of fish." Ant said, discovering that the boat was broken in half, with its catch still inside. "I'm going in for a closer look." "Be careful." Kaiko said. Ant and Jeffery swam a little closer. "What's that? To your left, Ant." Fontaine said, seeing something on Ant's left. Ant turned left to see…a giant tooth stuck in the hull. "It looks like…a tooth." He said, pulling the tooth out. "It's too big to be a tooth." Dionna said. "I think you better come back to the sub, Ant." Kaiko suggested. "Yeah, good idea. I'm actually getting a little nervous." Ant said, feeling nervous. Suddenly, the Aronnax's alarm went off. Something was heading right for Ant! "Ant, get out of there now!" William ordered. Ant turned around as a giant Plesiosaur creature appeared and let out a loud roar. "Oh no." Ant said with worry. The creature grabbed the boat and swallowed it and its catch in one bite before looking directly at Ant. "Ant, get out of there!" Fontaine exclaimed with worry. "No, don't move. Stay very, very still." Kaiko said. Ant remained still as the creature looked closer at him. Suddenly, as they stared at each other, several telepathic rings shot out from Ant's head and disappeared around the creature. Just then, instead of attacking, the creature swam away. "Ant, speak to us." Kaiko said in a worried tone. "Are you okay?" Dionna asked with the same tone as her mother. "I'm okay." Ant said. "You did your telepathy thing, didn't you?" Fontaine asked. "Right again, Fontaine." Ant said.

Later, at the docks, Noaq and Takar from earlier were trying to stop another guy, named Rotak, from going out to fish. "The fishing is the best we've ever seen." Rotak assured. "You go out there, and you won't be coming back." Takar warned. "Ha! There's no such thing as sea monsters." Rotak said. "I saw it!" A voice called. The 3 men turned to see an old man with a cane walk towards them. "I was young, but I saw that beast as clear as day. It could swallow your boat whole! Here be dragons, boy." "There's no such thing." Rotak said. "Oh? Then why aren't you on your boat, boy? Why are you still arguing if the fishing's good?" The old man asked. "You're right. I'm going out. You superstitious lot can stay here and stay poor. I'm coming back with enough fish for the whole-" Rotak started to say until he screamed at the sight of something coming to the surface. He ran back to the others and leapt into the old man's arms. "Uh, what are you doing, boy? You've never seen a submarine before?" The old man asked. Rotak turned his head around to see that it was just the Aronnax. The entrance hatch opened, allowing the Nektons, in their civilian clothes, to exit. Ant and Fontaine looked at the huge bite mark in the dock while William, Kaiko, Dionna and Skipper walked over to the others. "Hi, I'm William Nekton and this is my family. We hear you may have some…monster trouble?" William said. "Oh, the dragon's no trouble. We'll just stay out of the water for a while. He'll be gone soon." The old man said. "You have a young man hugging you." William said. "So, I noticed, yes." The old man said as Rotak let go. "You were talking about the dragon?" William asked. "Aye. I've seen him before. 40 years ago. I know he was around 40 years before that and 40 years before that. It's been the same every time." The old man explained. The Nektons looked at each other in confusion as he continued. "First an earthquake, then a monster, then another earthquake, then no monster." "Why every 40 years?" William asked. "How should I know?" The old man asked. "You seem familiar." William said. "Yes. I get that a lot." The old man said. "It's real, isn't it? I saw it." Takar said. "Yeah, we saw it too. It's definitely real." Kaiko said. "It took my boat! Can you find it?" Noaq asked. "Well, we found half of it." Dionna said. "Half of it?" Noaq asked. "Yes. Sorry. Half of your boat was eaten." William said. "What?!" Noaq asked in disbelief. "Actually, then the other half was eaten." Skipper said as the old man turned his attention to Ant and Fontaine. "WHAT?!" Noaq exclaimed.

Ant and Fontaine examined the bite mark. "It definitely came from the dragon." Ant said. "But why attack a fishing port in Greenland?" Fontaine asked. "I don't know." Ant said. "Hello, young Antaeus and Fontaine Nekton. My name is Nereus." The old man, named Nereus, introduced. "How do you know my full name?" Ant asked. "And how do you know us at all?" Fontaine asked as she added. "Antaeus, Fontaine, the others won't understand. You see, the dragon isn't important." Nereus said. "Not important?" Ant asked in confusion. "Uh, my little brother was almost eaten by it. So, very important." Fontaine said. "The dragon is nothing compared to the secret it guards." Nereus said. Ant and Fontaine looked at each other, curious about what Nereus had to say. "We're listening." Ant said. "This was no random earthquake. Out there, a trench has opened and soon, it will close again. Inside the trench is the creature's lair. Inside the lair lies…the secret." Nereus explained. "And what exactly is this secret? And how do we find it?" Fontaine asked. "You'll know you're there when you can breathe beneath the waves." Nereus said. Ant and Fontaine became confused by this riddle. "What does that mean?" Ant asked. "Oh, you'll find it. I have great faith in you, Antaeus and Fontaine Nekton. In fact, I think it could all come down…to you." Nereus said. Ant and Fontaine thought about this. "If your family needs persuading, give this to your father." Nereus said. He gave Ant a sealed letter. "Remember: the sea is the key." Nereus said. "The sea is the key." Ant repeated. "What does he mean by that?" Fontaine asked. But before they could ask, Nereus had disappeared. "He's gone." Fontaine said in surprise. Ant looked at the letter. "What do you think, Ant?" Fontaine asked. "If there is a secret down in that trench, we have to find it." Ant said. Fontaine nodded in agreement.

"I'm not insured for sea monsters!" Noaq cried as Ant and Fontaine walked back to their family. "Mom, Dad, Dionna, Skipper, we gotta go. Now." Ant said. "What is it?" Kaiko asked. "It's best if we explain while we move. If we don't go now, we'll have to wait another 40 years. And we don't have that kind of patience." Fontaine said as she and Ant headed back to the Aronnax. William shrugged his shoulders as he and Kaiko looked at each other, knowing their own kids.

Later, as the Aronnax dove back under the ocean, Ant researched the location of the trench Nereus spoke of. "It makes sense for the trench to be somewhere around here, where the earthquake was the strongest." He said, showing the trench's possible location. "But this doesn't make any sense. Trenches don't just open and close every 40 years." Dionna said. "According to Nereus, this one does." Fontaine said. "And we just blindly trust a strange old man on piers now?" Skipper asked. "It doesn't matter. And what's the worst that could happen?" Ant asked. "Well, it sounds like a trench could close on us or we get eaten by a dragon." Dionna said. "True. But the taste of submarine…not the tastiest." Ant said. "Dionna and Skipper are right, Ant. We have no reason to trust this man." Kaiko said. "Yes, we do!" Fontaine snapped, startling everyone. "Dad, he said to give this to you. In case you needed…persuading." Ant said, giving William the letter. William opened it and revealed a picture of Nereus and William's parents, Jacques and Katherine, holding a familiar tooth. "What is it?" Kaiko asked. "He knew my parents." William said in disbelief, handing the picture to Ant. "Oh, Will." Kaiko said, comforting her husband. "Look. They have the same tooth." Fontaine said. "That means our grandparents knew about the creature too." Ant said. "I have a lot of questions for this Nereus." William said. "But Nereus said that the trench was gonna close soon." Ant said. "Questions will have to wait. Fontaine, set a course for the hypocenter of the quake." William said. "On it, Dad." Fontaine said as she ran for the controls.

Later, the Aronnax headed towards the location of the earthquake's origination. "The earthquake originated somewhere around here. But I don't know what we're looking for…never mind." Fontaine said. "What is it?" Ant asked. "The sea floor just…disappeared." Fontaine said. The family looked through the windshield and saw the trench. "Incredible. This trench isn't on any maps that I've ever seen." William said. "Yeah, but you look at some pretty old maps, Dad." Skipper said. "I mean, no maps at all. This trench does not exist." William said. "Well, at least this proves we can trust Nereus. Or, at least, I think so." Ant said. "Taking us in." Kaiko said, steering the Aronnax into the trench. "According to the 3D scanners, the walls of the trench just keep going down. This trench is deep. Very deep." Dionna said. Just then, as the Aronnax went deeper, Fontaine spotted something. "Wait. There's something up ahead. It looks like a hole in the wall." She said. "That's gotta be the dragon's lair." Ant said. "But the scanners don't detect any creatures present." Kaiko said as she stopped the Aronnax in front of the cave. "Then that gives us a chance to snoop around." Ant said. "I'll stay on board the Aronnax and keep a lookout for the dragon." Fontaine said.

Later, William, Kaiko, Dionna and Skipper dove down through the moon pool in their state-of-the-art sub pod, named the Rover, while Ant followed with the White Knight. They entered the dragon's lair and discovered a giant skeleton inside. "Looks like something's been feeding down here." Ant said. "Stay close, Ant." Kaiko said. As they went deeper into the dragon's lair, Ant spotted something up ahead. "There's something up ahead." He said, pointing towards a tunnel in the back. As they swam into the tunnel, it led them into a hidden cave with breathable air. "I don't know how, but the air in this chamber is breathable." William said, checking the air in the cave. "That's what Nereus said. That we'd be able to breathe beneath the waves." Ant said. "Shall we go for a walk?" Kaiko asked, opening the Rover's hatch. As they walked around, they examined the chamber. "Okay. This was totally worth it." Dionna said. "Mom, Dad, I found something!" Ant called. William and Kaiko hurried over to see what Ant had found. A strange stone casket with strange inscriptions written all over it. "Incredible. These inscriptions, they look Lemurian." William said. "And look at the lines running down it. I think it must open up somehow." Ant said. But as he touched it, an alarm went off. "The ancient stone is alarmed?!" Skipper asked in shock. "No, that's the Rover! The creature is coming!" Kaiko exclaimed as the Rover's scanner detected the dragon coming back. "Aronnax to Rover! We got trouble! The dragon's heading down into the trench!" Fontaine called through the com-link.

"Move! MOVE!" William exclaimed. The family started heading back to the Rover, but Ant stood still, staring at the stone. "Ant, come on!" Kaiko exclaimed. "We have to get out of here!" Skipper cried. Just then, Ant realized something from Nereus' riddle. "The sea is the key." He said. He ran back to the water and took a scoop full into his hands. "Ant, what're you doing?!" Dionna asked angrily. "We need to go now!" Kaiko exclaimed as Ant ran towards the stone. "I figured something out!" Ant exclaimed as he placed the water into the stone. "The sea is the key." As the water was inserted into the stone, the lines started to glow with the water. Just then, the stone shattered and revealed an iron cylinder with a shell mark on the top. "I knew it. This must be the secret." Ant said. "Leave it to you, Ant, to figure out something big." William said, picking up the cylinder. "Hurry!" Kaiko exclaimed as they hurried to their rides.

After returning to the Rover and the White Knight, the Nektons made their way towards the cave's exit. "No sign of the dragon yet." Ant said. Suddenly, the dragon appeared at the entrance. "I take that back!" Ant exclaimed with worry. The dragon chomped at them, but they managed to dodge it. Ant managed to make it back to the Aronnax through the moon pool. The Rover dodged the dragon's mighty jaws. As the White Knight was loaded inside through the moon pool, Fontaine came running in as Ant exited the mech suit. "You okay?" Fontaine asked, giving her brother a quick hug. "I'm fine." Ant said. "But where's the Rover?" Fontaine asked. "Oh no. They're still out there." Ant said with worry. They hurried over to the video com-link and attempted to contact the Rover. "Aronnax to Rover! Aronnax to Rover! Do you copy?" Ant asked. "Ant! Fontaine!" Dionna called as the Rover dodged the dragon's jaws again. "Keep the moon pool open! We're almost there! Hold on!" Kaiko exclaimed. But then, the dragon swatted the Rover with its fin, knocking it against the trench wall and cutting off its communication. "Aronnax to Rover! Aronnax to Rover! Do you copy?!" Ant called with worry. The family screamed as the Rover sank deeper into the trench. "Mom! Dad!" Ant cried. "Dionna! Skipper!" Fontaine cried.

The Rover slid onto a small edge and stopped moving as the dragon swam up, looking directly at the family. "Stay calm. Stay quiet. There's no reason for the creature to attack. We're not a threat to something that large and we are not food." Kaiko whispered. "How are we not food? Sure, we're a round piece of metal and glass, but we have a soft, juicy inside." Dionna said with worry. "She's right. And I would rather not be on the other side of a shrimp fork." Skipper said, completely frightened. William shushed them. Just then, the dragon swam up and knocked them aside with its nose. "Hold on!" William exclaimed as the Rover landed on its side. As the dragon swam closer and stared at them, suddenly, everything started shaking. "Tremor?!" William said.

Back on the docks, Nereus felt the tremor, knowing what it meant. "It's closing." He said.

The dragon roared at the family before swimming away. "Why is it leaving?" Skipper asked in confusion. "Maybe it knows something we don't." Kaiko said. "Then let's get out of here." Dionna said. "We can't. The power's out." William said as they undid their seatbelts. "What about the homing beacon?" Skipper asked. Kaiko looked out the windshield for the homing beacon on the front of the Rover, but it was gone. "It's gone! It must've been knocked off by the creature." She said. "Alright, breathe calmly. Without power, we only have so much air. Ant and Fontaine will find us." William said. "Without the homing beacon?" Dionna asked with worry. "Ant and Fontaine will find us." William assured.

Back aboard the Aronnax, Ant and Fontaine were now getting extremely worried. "What happened to the homing beacon? I can't find it." Ant said. "It must've been knocked off." Fontaine guessed. "Then we've got a problem." Ant said. "I know. How are we going to find them without the beacon?" Fontaine asked. Just then, Ant looked at Jeffery and got an idea. "That's it!" He exclaimed, running over to his bag. "Where's that tracker? This has to work. There's no other way." He said, pulling out a small tracker. "What's your plan, little bro?" Fontaine asked. "I'm gonna put this tracker on Jeffery and have him fetch our family." Ant said, putting the tracker on Jeffery's tail and letting him hop into the moon pool. "Let's hope it works." Fontaine said. "Fetch!" Ant ordered. But Jeffery didn't understand. "Jeffery, we need you to fetch! Please! Oh, please! FETCH!" Ant cried. But Jeffrey wouldn't move. "Our family needs us. Please!" Ant sobbed. Fontaine hugged Ant as he sobbed, thinking it was all hopeless now. But then, Jeffery dove under the water. "Ant, Jeffrey's gone." Fontaine said. "Huh? Jeffrey?" Ant said with hope. Jeffrey exited the moon pool and swam down into the trench. Ant and Fontaine hurried into the bridge. "We're coming!" Ant exclaimed as he steered the Aronnax deeper into the trench. "I hope we're not too late." Fontaine said with worry.

Meanwhile, the other Nektons were going over an idea. "The Rover door has a manual release." Kaiko said. "And you wanna drown instead of being crushed?" Dionna asked sarcastically. "There's 2 suits in here capable of surviving at this depth." William said, handing Dionna and Skipper dive suits. Dionna and Skipper realized what they were saying. "No! No, we won't put them on! We won't leave you!" Dionna exclaimed. "That's not what a family does!" Skipper cried. "Dionna, Skipper, we don't have time! Just take them!" Kaiko exclaimed. "Please." William said. But as Dionna and Skipper took the suits, they smashed the glass helmets against the controls, rendering them useless. "There. Now they're no good to anyone." Dionna said. "You know, when we survive this, you and I are gonna have a serious talk about acts of defiance that don't destroy very expensive equipment!" William scolded. "How about a serious talk about not abandoning family?!" Skipper exclaimed, shoving the suit back to William. Suddenly, they saw something swimming towards them. It was Jeffrey! "Isn't that Ant's fish?" Dionna asked. "No way." Skipper said in disbelief. Dionna took out the glow stick from her pocket and waved it in front of Jeffrey, seeing he reacted to it. "Have faith in the fish." Kaiko said with a smile. But then, another tremor started. "Oh no!" Kaiko said with worry. "The trench is closing!" William exclaimed. Suddenly, a boulder that landed nearby forced the Rover to slide towards the edge. But before they could go over, something grabbed them. They looked up and saw the Aronnax holding the Rover with its claw. "Need a lift?" Ant asked. "It's Ant and Fontaine!" Kaiko cheered. "Haha! I told you they'd find us!" William cheered. He continued laughing in triumph as Ant lifted the Rover up through the moon pool with Jeffrey following before sealing it. "Ant, we're clear! Punch it!" Kaiko exclaimed through the com-link. "Hold onto something! We're about to go fast!" Ant exclaimed as he steered the Aronnax towards the trench's exit. Just then, they hit one of the trench's walls, nearly tossing everyone around. "That was too close." Fontaine said in relief. Ant steered the Aronnax as fast as he could until…they finally cleared the trench before it became sealed. "Woo-hoo! Made it!" Ant cheered. "Nice driving, Ant!" Fontaine cheered.

Dionna and Skipper walked in with Jeffrey's bowl. "Jeffrey!" Ant cheered as he ran up and took Jeffrey's bowl. "Well, I believe someone is owed an apology." Fontaine said. "Okay, you 2 were right. We should've had faith in your fish." Dionna said. "Yeah, we're sorry." Skipper apologized. "Not us. Jeffrey." Ant said. "You want us to apologize…to a fish?" Dionna asked in disbelief. Jeffrey bubbled. Dionna and Skipper sighed in defeat. "We're sorry, Jeffrey." Dionna apologized. "You did a great job out there." Skipper said. Jeffrey bubbled happily. William and Kaiko came in with the cylinder. As William set the cylinder on the table, a corner of parchment stuck out of it. He placed it on its side and pulled out and old scroll. "Is it?" Ant asked. "Yes. It's written in Lemurian. I'm sure of it." William said. "I knew it." Ant said. "Will, are you okay?" Kaiko asked, noticing a familiar tone in her husband's voice. "I'm fine, Kaiko. I just wish my parents were still here to see this. Our family's been searching for Lemuria for so long, and this could be it. The key to the sunken world. This could hold the answer to the biggest mystery on the planet." William explained. "So, can you read it, Dad?" Ant asked. "Not a word." William said.

Back on the dock, Nereus stared out at the ocean, knowing that the Nektons had succeeded. "And it begins. This should be…interesting." He said.

Haha! Wasn't that an amazing start?! Anteaus 'Ant' Nekton and his family of undersea explorers undertake an exploration about a sea dragon sighting and a mysterious tremor. With guidance from an old man named Nereus, they discovered a trench and the dragon's cave. Inside the cave, they found a scroll that contained strange symbols in the ancient language of the lost city of Lemuria. But what adventures will the Nektons face next? Will the scroll lead them to the lost city of Lemuria? Leave a review if you want.
