Airdate: June 24, 2009

The story starts off with two underwater beings, (that aren’t mermaids) who finds a ring falling through the water. Marin, the older sister decides that she will try and find its owner and return it. Her younger sister Urin protests, but follows along with her anyways. So the two sisters go to the surface to find the ring’s owner, and by chance they encountered a girl named Kanon, who was seriously moody at the time – and so happened to be the ring’s owner. Except, the girl only takes the ring back to toss it back into the ocean – only to be stopped by Marin. It turns out that the ring was given to Kanon by her ex-boyfriend who had recently broken up with her, and was the reason why she was so irradiated about every thing, every thought, every time he has something to do with, or his very appearance. Kanon soons get the ring after sighting her ex and launches it afar into the distance, where then Urin and Marin goes after it. During their search, the sisters get separated. Marin and Kanon re-encounter each other once more, only this time Kanon helps Marin search for her sister …and fireworks are set off, scaring both of them. Frightened, Urin dashes into the woods only to stumble and find herself lost, while at the same time, retrieving the ring, without knowing she had torn a seal off the mysterious coffin and then hears an eerie call of “open the coffin”, and so she opens it. As result a dark cloud emerges from it, and surrounds the island, but at the same time it takes over the ring, and hides itself inside of it. The fair weather changes into a furious storm. Heavily raining as the waves in the ocean waver dangerously, and the lightning strikes a turtle statue that was next to the coffin – which begins to glow.
