There once was a beautiful Queen that lived in a beautiful kingdom by the sea. People would travel from far away places to see her waters and the unique sea creatures that the depths held.This Queen so loved to show off her underwater friends, that she commissioned a great wall of glass to be constructed that would create a deep barrier between the land and the sea, in essence, allowing anyone to see all the way down to the bottom and creating an outdoor aquarium effect. The warlocks in her kingdom worked day and night to figure out a way to make this work to where the sea life could still go anywhere they wanted, but it would not flood the land. Five years later, the Great Glass Aquarium was a reality and the Queen's people came from far and wide for the opening ceremony. Her advisers also told her that this would also be a good time to choose a suitor to marry. This could be achieved by holding a grand ball. And so it was done and the kingdom was richly decorated with banners and lights and silk streamers everywhere. The business district readied their wears and food for the visitors traveling to see the great wall. And many gentlemen of power came to gaze upon the queen and have a chance at her hand in marriage. Everyone was in the celebration spirit...except for one. On the other side of the wall, there was a lonely clam at the bottom of the ocean. Its shell has encrusted with hideous barnacles and looked out of place in the Queen's beautiful display. So she invited it up to watch the ceremony with her under the pretense that he would have the best view--when really she just wanted him hidden while the people were gathered around the aquarium. He was wary but accepted.

The first event was the reveal of the wall and then there would be a grand ball after to deal with the other matter. The warlocks had covered the wall with a thick fog so that no one from outside the kingdom could peek. Everything was ready for the ceremony. The queen sat on her balcony, far above the townspeople, with the one lonely clam. He was beside her hidden from the view of those below. Inside the castle he could hear two guards whispering to each other--he had great hearing. They were saying how ignorant the clam was for falling for the Queen's trick. Of course she wouldn't want that hideous creature in her beautiful display! That angered the clam and he quickly devised a plan. "Too bad about that aquarium, your Majesty," he barked. She gave him a questioning look and he continued with his thought, " I only meant that this is such a beautiful display that no one will ever come to the kingdom to look upon the queen anymore." She frowned in concentration. She called in the chief warlock and told him that she no longer wanted the aquarium. He gasped and explained that this had taken five years of hard work and they can't just abandon the project. She turned red and said, "If you will not follow my orders then you are banished from the kingdom. GUARDS!" The guards came to take the warlock away.

That night, the Queen refused to dance with anyone and would not talk to any of the suitors. One brave young man walked up to her and tried to goad her into a dance. He promised that he would give her the greatest gift of all--her happily ever after. She laughed and shooed him away. He tried several more times during the night to the point that she was severely annoyed. She left the celebration early in a huff, much to the confusion of the guests. Around midnight, the big clock in the center square chimed and up in the Queen's tower, the banished warlock appeared by her bed. She tried to summon the guards, but found that she had no voice. "You are the very picture of vanity," the warlock bellowed, "And because of this, I place this curse upon you. You will become the thing that reviled you, and in order to survive you have to feed off of the beauty of others." And with that he vanished. The Queen certainly didn't feel any different so she went to sleep and dreamed of happier things. In her dream, she was swimming in the sea with the fish. Only, she wasn't really swimming with them, but away from them. The water around her was getting darker and darker. She tried to turn around but she couldn't. She opened her mouth to scream...

She awoke and found that she was still underwater. She started to choke on the brine and she tried to get away. She was at the bottom right next to her wall. She tried to move but couldn't. She managed to shuffle herself to see her reflection in the glass. "No," she whispered, "it cannot be!" In the glass, she saw that same ugly clam that she had removed from her aquarium the day before. On the other side of the wall, there was the smug warlock. She could faintly hear the man speak on the outside. "Not so beautiful now are we?" he cackled. She asked for forgiveness and he just laughed some more. "There is only one way to break that curse and that will never happen," he boasted and then vanished again. She cried out for help, but the words just came out as goo. A few sea creatures swam by, but they swished away when they saw her. Later, one angelfish came too close and she had the irresistible urge to grab it. The fish squirmed and then all of the sudden turned into ash--she had absorbed its beauty. At first she was horrified. As the days went on, she grew used to the feeling and was even able to learn how to control the urge so that she could wait for prettier creatures. She even learned how to use a sort of vibration to lure the poor victims closer. She called this her voice.

Years went by for the queen and she could see that on the outside the kingdom had been taken over by that same warlock. She was powerless to stop him and all she could do was watch. One bright summers day, she saw a man climb the mountain that formed the side of the aquarium. It looked like he was going for a swim. The Queen recognized the man...he was that annoying suitor that had come to her ball during the opening ceremony. Now that she had the chance, she could see that he was a handsome man--beautiful in fact. Oh yes, he would do nicely for dinner. She only had to get him closer. When he dove into the calm waters, she started her song, trying to make it as strong as possible so that he would swim down to her. He was mesmerized by the vibrations and swam deeper and deeper. He saw the hideous clam at the bottom and could feel that it was the source of the mysterious song. He circled the Queen a few times and she extended a single hand out, beckoning the young man to reach out for her. Then she saw the fear in his eyes and her hand snapped back. She found that she didn't have the heart to touch him. She felt greedy and guilty at the same time. She wept as only she would weep and the man swam back to the surface. The Queen went hungry that night.

She awoke the next morning to find herself sleeping on the softest satin sheets. She was in her own bed in the tower! She went to the nearest mirror to make sure that she was back and there she was, beautiful as ever. The Queen started to think that the past few years had all been a dream, when she saw something in the mirror that made her heart almost stop. On her left shoulder, there was a strange looking birthmark--shaped like a clam. She vowed to always put the beauty of others before herself. Her first act as Queen again? She found the young man that had helped her to break the curse and married him. And they lived happily ever after.
