"a mermaid? I had only heard about it in stories, according to some stories, in the beginning of the world, there were many types of creatures, among them there was also mermaid who lived in the depths of the sea."
Jack said in surprise...
"see....i told you that it's something new, and I was something like a city in the depths too"
Lucy said as if he was doing the right thing...
"Hmmmmm...." Prince showed angry eyes...
"If you go too deep, we will be minced in a moment, decrease the depth and next time you do something like this, I will lock you in the room."
"B-but captain, Don't you think we can find some treasure in this city "
"someone take this brat from here and lock it in the room" prince ordered...
"Noooooooo..." With a long cry, Lucy stormed away from the control room. After she left, the prince looked at the screen and said to kann
"send ink outside and tell him to search this city, give him some equipment and tell him to come back immediately if there is any danger"
Then he turns to the people who was operating submarine
"Be ready to unleash the full power of submarine at any moment"
"Now...go, we shouldn't stay here for too long"
As ink approached the city, he was greeted by a mesmerizing sight. Towering structures made of coral and seashells rose from the ocean floor, adorned with colorful flora and fauna.
The city seemed to pulsate with life, as schools of tropical fish darted through the intricately carved archways.
Ink's heart swelled with excitement as he ventured deeper into the city.
Although he was an octopus, he was one in a million because he had more intelligence than common octopuses and loved treasures...
And this time he got a chance to see the city with his own eyes, Prince tied a huge flashlight to his body and attached a camera that he had bought for ink a long time ago...
...
ink marveled at the exquisite architecture, admiring the craftsmanship that had gone into every building. The mermaids, if they truly existed, must have possessed remarkable skills to construct such a magnificent place...
As Ink navigated the maze-like streets, he noticed intricate mosaics adorning the walls.
These vibrant artworks depicted scenes from the sea, capturing the essence of life beneath the waves. Each mosaic told a story, and Ink felt compelled to decipher their meaning.
He traced his tentacles along the intricate patterns, studying every detail, hoping to unravel the mysteries that lay hidden within the mermaids' artwork...
"It's ancient, i think they were very professional in this"
Prince admires this art in wonder, he was watching the pictures coming from the camera on a screen sitting in the submarine with everyone else...
...
The further Ink delved into the city, the more he realized that the legends were true. Everywhere he looked, he caught glimpses of mermaids architecture.
As he swims towards the city center, His mind buzzed with the wonders he had witnessed, his heart brimming with a newfound appreciation for the beauty of the mermaids' world.
With a gentle brush of his tentacles, Ink released a cloud of bioluminescent ink, its soft glow illuminating the alcove like a starry sky...
"Hyy, what are you doing out there? we don't have this much time, just do you job as fast as possible"
Prince murmured while sitting in the submarine, in fact he also knew that his voice would not reach ink, but doing so gives peace of mind...

ink goes ahead and sees a big tower in front, probably the biggest tower that stood like a great warrior in the middle of the city ink didn't waste much time and decided to go there, he had already seen the empty houses but found nothing but a bunch of fish.
By now ink and the prince and his companions who were watching everything had realized that this city is a forgotten city. Although they found two skeletons, but they were found only at the beginning of the city.
Slowly the ink kept moving towards the main tower.
Reaching near it, he stopped for a moment and then entered through the broken door. Since these structures were made by mermaids, they were larger than a normal human structure.
ink looked here and there and saw, on one hand ink was enjoying, on the other hand the prince was getting worried because how such a luxurious city inside the sea could be ruined? Was there a disaster here? Was it attacked by someone? Did they leave on their own? But why?
Similar thoughts were making their home in his mind, in spite of all this he held himself and continued to watch because all these things had no meaning at the moment..
.

After walking some distance ink reached a big room, it would be wrong to call it a room, seeing it as if it was a royal court. There were big pillars all around, there were big thrones and in front there was a biggest throne which must have been for the king or the queen.
After gazing for some time, ink moved towards the king's throne, but there he saw something that he could not make sense of.
On the throne was a snow-buried mermaid, her beauty was heavenly...
There was a slight disappointment on her face, looking at her dress, it seemed as if she was a queen...
"ice buried mermaid queen on throne in a forgotten underwater big city....hahaha...WTF!!! IS THIS ."
