In the grand hall deep within the palace of Atlantis.A man not so tall neither short stood in front of a big framed painting and behind a big golden throne.He had a well decorated crown on his head. And he was ceremoniously dressed. He stood before the framed painting. His eyes scanning every inch of it. It was a painting of Man sitting on a throne with a woman standing behind him, and two children in front at his feet.On the faces of both adults, was a smile and on the children's faces was fondness. As he looked at this picture and felt ever so drawn to it. So much so that he stretched his hands just to touch its frame. He closed his eyes that seemed so aged and his thoughts could not help but remember a time when the smiles in this picture was his reality. A time when playing the role of a father and a king did not have to collide but rather moved as one. When the crown on his head did not give him such a strained option, and his life was enviable at all.Sometimes, he felt
As Ramond left the presence of the king. Just as he went through the doors, yet another person was coming to see the king. This was a person that could come and leave at her will.The moment Ramond saw her, he bowed in salutation. But she did not even spare him a glance in return.However just as she passed by him, her nose twiched as it caught a very particular but faint scent.Her eyes immediately moved in the direction of that scent. She saw that it was coming from the cup he was carrying. Pretending not to notice even though her thoughts at the moment ran fast, she walked majestically through the doors.The sound of coughing welcomed her into the hall.The moment the king saw her, he stood to his feet to welcome her."Ahh! Lady Esther, you grace me with your presence..."She lifted a hand to stop him."You may sit. I am not here to listen to you sing my praises."She lifted a brow, "I am here for important MATTERS!"The king sat up right in his throne."And what important matter
The time had finally arrived.Tiny stood in front of the device. The same one she had to visit frequently since she got back to Atlantis. But this time around, it was not in the under ground submerged district.The device had been moved here. In had been moved to the upper Atlas district.At the moment, she was in the highest, biggest and widest tower in all of Atlantis. The one magnificent tower that was at its center. This tower was the same one that supplied the whole underworld island with light. This Tower was called Atlas Fist. It was named in respect to Atlas's brave act of holding up the heavens in the stories. As it was and has always been for hundreds of years, this Tower held on its tip the one thing keeping this underwater world alive. It held an artificially made sun.Currently, they were in the middle of the tower.The room was over two hundred meters wide and over another three hundred meters long.At its center stood a thick robust pillar that stood directly at th
It had become dark in all of Atlantis. People on the streets stopped to look in the direction of the artificial Sun.Men, women and children looked on. Some through their windows and others through their doors. This was the sign. The Futon festival had started, and all of Atlantis was aware.However, for some people, it was a sign."The sun has darkened Elder Caleb. It is time we move." Aesir bowed to Elder Caleb."Yes it is time. Let's go!"Aesir gave the order down the line and the men and women if Ebora were immediately summoned.....Just then, as Prince August held tight to the Trident as he directed it's energy into Tiny's body. He could see that her body had started to glow and slowly crystalize.Then all saw as someone moves behind the prince and suddenly, the sound of a blade piercing flesh was heard.The prince as he looked at his sister immediately turned his gaze to look at where the sound had come from.Surprisingly, it was from him. At the moment, a knife was sticking o
The moment the voice went out, a Zodiac gate appeared and a ship came out of it. It was the same one that Derek and his friends had used to come to Atlantis.Derek stood on top of it while the ship's guns were directed to those holding weapons.Lydia pushed a button in the ship and it's front muzzles let lose a rain of fire. The men from the Ebora fired back and the entire hall was officially plunged into chaos.Derek jumped down the ship and went straight for Tiny. He hurriedly unbuckled the straps holding her in place.But before he could get her out, he had to doge to the side.A blade had come for his head.It was from Mr Woody. And the blade was not on his hand but rather an extension of his body.*Clank*The blade made home at the side of the tube. But because of the hard substance that was used to make it, the blade could not be removed.Derek rolled over to the side. Jumping up, he used his legs to kick Mr Woody right in the chest.He made an attempt again, but had to back
Elder Caleb bursted out of the rubble on the floor. His beautiful red robe torn here and there. He held his robe from the chest, and in one intense pull, he ripped it off. His well carved bulging lean muscles that been hiding under all that clothing had been revealed for all to see.On the left side of his chest was a rune that slightly resembled a dragon."Shit!"Esther cursed out loud the moment she saw it. "What the hell is wrong with these noble families and enhancing humans.Farida saw that the Bishop had risen and immediately went a bout with him. The two threw punches that made home on each other's faces. Meanwhile, Derek rushed back to free Tiny. The Elder caught sight of this from the corner of his eyes.The moment the elder saw this, he threw a punch in Derek's direction. This punch was a special one. It was compressed air.It hit Derek away. The elder sent two more Derek's way and Derek immediately made a rune wall in front of him, but the wall was broken after the first o
Without saying any more, the elder ran straight for Esther. Farida that he had hit to a corner earlier on, streched her hand to make runes in front of him, but he broke through them like there were glass.He threw a very heavy punch that caused a loud noise as it went through the air. Derek and Esther were before that punch.*Boom*"DEREK!!!" Tiny screamed in worry. And even Lydia and Madeline were struck with worry.Gravels and dust went up in the air. The elder had a smirk on his face, but before he could relish in his joy, the dust did him the favour of clearing up a bit.His eyes contracted in surprise. Before him was something he never would have ever imagined. With all the momentum he had come with. With all that pressure and and all that force, it had made no effect.His big hand was blocked in place by Esther. Her small statue a striking contrast to his big muscular frame.Her petite hand holding firmly his fist in place. She had blocked that attack with just a hand."I don't
The lieutenant looked to the sky. He could not believe what he was seeing. one might think it was something from pictures in a book or mythical from stories but before him, it was reality.A series of high-pitched whistling notes was heard.For a slight second there, every sword, knife, gun pointed, spear or any weapon stopped in it's assault.Every body looked up in the sky. And then, the chaos continued, except that it was not the way it was before were every body was fighting each other. Now, they were running for their lives. Two big beasts landed from the sky. They were made entirely of Yellow glowing aura. One was a chimera and the other a Cerberus.One was a mythical creature known for its three heads of lion, snake and goat that vomited fire, poison and gas respectively.While the other was a beast that the legendary stories proclaimed was a guardian of the gates of hell itself. A giant three headed dog of pure chaos.These two beasts made home in the battle field and start
