SYNOPSIS OF STORY : 2.5 million lightyears away, far off in the Andromeda galaxy, is a small planet that revolves around its largest star - Jenograde. Covered in just over 97 percent of water, much of its inhabitants live thousands of leagues beneath the surface of the ocean mass. Including Sage, a humanoid boy with unwavering curiosity. Unfortunately for him, his planet was overrun with the deadliest of aquatic predators; from the longest and most bloodthirsty sea serpents to the hypnotic half fish-half humanoid beings that charmed wanderers to death. Endless forests of kelp and caves that were impossible to navigate through, and sizzling hot marine geysers that would burn your flesh off by simply looking.

That’s what everyone in his town said anyway, so stayed 27 generations of Sage’s people in the absolute safety of their cavetown - a nook in a large submerged cave that held an air pocket deep within. No one ever left and stepped out into the water past the waterfall, and no one had any interest in finding out if there were others like them beyond the sea of blue that stretched out of the cave entrance. No one, except Sage, that is. So with a rickety submarine he had pieced together himself, his trusty sidekick-pet-best friend Dottle and a spirit of adventure, he set off into the uncharted territory he was told his whole life to stay out of.
