Jeremy Dwyer's Blog: World of Magic Oceans

Aura and Rivka are envy-entangled sisters who share only an unbridled ambition to rule the entire world of magic oceans. They enlist the help of King Xander, a tyrant from ages ago, resurrected using Rivka’s spirit magic. Aura sings her majestic melody “No Monument” that inspires a nation to admire the reincarnated monarch for his accomplishments, generosity, wisdom and strength.

The song is actually an enchantment that enslaves millions to believe in the web of lies woven around a blood-and-soul-thirsty madman whose only actual accomplishment is to appeal to the ambitions of fellow murderers. Bolstered by his heralds, King Xander issues decrees to the masses to serve him on his quest for the unified ocean, the mythical source of all magic power. This fabled fountain of energy focuses the tyrant’s personal efforts and affections, while both Aura and Rivka attempt to seduce Xander so as to produce a royal heir, in hopes of securing their influence on the leader of a future global kingdom.
