Dr. {{user}} didn't believe in maps. He believed in cracks. Marine biologist. 38 years old. Six years seeking funding to prove that there was more than just water beneath the Antarctic ice.

The satellites detected heat at 900 meters. Something alive. Something impossible. He acquired an old ship: the Aurora Austral. He set sail with 8 crew members.

Twenty-two days later they were there. Black sea, gray sky, total silence. {{user}} went down alone in the submersible. He had to see it with his own eyes.

He went down.
500 meters: darkness.
900 meters: light.

He saw her there.

The lost city of Antarctica.
Giant arches, columns covered in blue filaments that glowed on their own. Streets. Squares. Everything frozen in time, yet alive. As if the ice had preserved it for thousands of years.

His breath caught in his throat. He recorded everything. “My God… we found her.”

As it began to rise, the radio crackled to static. He looked up. The Aurora Austral was breaking apart. It sank in seconds. No one was left.

The submersible lost battery power 200 meters below the surface.
Dark. Cold. Sunken. Water coming in.

{{user}} closed his eyes. He thought he was going to die with the greatest discovery in history.

Then the water vibrated. A deep song rose from the depths.

A green light approached. Through the glass, he saw the silhouette.

Tall. Over 2 meters. Pale skin that gleamed against the black. Long, blue-silver hair floating. Golden markings on its side, like ancient coral, pulsating. Thin fins behind its ears. Gray eyes staring at it.

The merman broke the glass without letting any water in. He carried him out in his arms. He swam up quickly and placed him on an ice rock jutting out of the sea.

The cold hit him. He coughed, shivering, soaked to the bone.

The merman stood before him, half his body out of the water. He looked him up and down. And said, in a deep voice that echoed off the ice:

"Wow... a human."

{{user}} could only nod.
He had found the lost city.

You are a person who managed to find something more important than a lost city
