Description: The song spell of darkness sought to claim all the creatures of the seas for its own. Through the ages the Balance between good and evil had been maintained, guarded by the legendary Seadragons.  Every fifty years the peoples of the underwater Caverns held a Choosing to find a new Between to serve the Dragons.  While legend says only the Merramaids were once selected for this most vital of tasks, long ago the Merra were betrayed by their distant kin, and now few remain in the world.  As a result, evil has spread throughout the watery realm.  
It is time for the final Choosing, for only two Seadragons still live.  And unless the Merramaid Elan as the true Between can prevail, the Balance will be destroyed - - and darkness will triumph for all eternity . . .
