Savior Of The Seven Kingdoms Prologue
Jules Verne once wrote "Put two ships in the open sea, without wind or tide, they will come together." ' That is how a Queen of Atlantis and a simple Lighthouse Keeper came to meet on the night a powerful hurricane hit the shores of Amnesty Maine in 1985. Like two ships destined for each other.
They were from different worlds.
But life, like the sea, has a way of bringing people together.
She had fled an arranged marriage, left her who world behind. But at a surface dwellers lighthouse she found something unexpected.
Where in the beginning she had been searching for an escape, the man found the love of his life.
The two were soon married and had a child. A little baby girl that they named Ariel.
So filled with love and adoration for this child Atlanna saw great potential in their daughter, as did Thomas Curry. As Atlanna's firstborn she saw Ariel as the solution to uniting the two worlds of land and sea together once and for all.
A couple of years went by in contentment and happiness for this little family.
But Atlantis's memory is long and its King refused to let her go.
Their two worlds were never meant to meet. And Ariel is product of a love that never should've been.
Fearing for the safety of her husband and daughter Atlanna was made the difficult decision to return to her life, duty, and responsibility's waiting for her in Atlantis. She had to go back. It's the only way for her to save the ones close to her she loves unconditionally. Atlanna loved Thomas and Ariel too much to do otherwise.
Before disappearing into the roaring seas Atlanna vowed that one day when the danger had passed and it is safe that she would come back. When that day arrived they would become a family once more.
Since then Thomas Curry has stood on the dock of the lighthouse at sunrise each and every day, rain or snow, gazing out at the sea awaiting Atlanna's return. And each time he's left disappointed, having to go to the lighthouse without his wife and an empty heart to fill the void, but hasn't lost hope. Thomas has kept his vigil hoping beyond hope that Atlanna would come back to him, to them.
Ariel faith in her mother's promise had vanished a long time ago.
At the start of it Ariel had been very much following her father's example. But as the years went by all of this lessened until one day she discovered the terrible truth.
Atlanna would never be coming back home to her and her father.
For Atlantis had betrayed Atlanna in the most terrible way.
Out of pure uncontrollable jealousy King Orvax sacrificed her to the Trench. A barbaric kingdom that is one of the few of the Council of Kings to regress instead of progressing like most of the rest. Atlanna was murdered by the savagery that lay there and all because she dared to birth Ariel and love someone on the surface.
After she learned the truth Ariel became bitter and resentful towards Atlantis ultimately blaming herself for Atlanna's demise and the fact that her own father's dreams of seeing his beloved wife again will never come to fruition.
It hurt Ariel deeply to watch her father go out to the docks in denial, yearning for someone who's not ever going to meet him there. But Ariel didn't have the heart to stop him. She never could.
What bothered her is how Thomas still preached what Atlanna always said to them before she had to leave.
That they believed Ariel will unite our two worlds one day.
How can she be Queen to a kingdom that problem didn't even want her in the first place?
One day the choice will be taken from her and Ariel will have to fight for the sakes of millions of lives both on land and sea.
Authors Note:
Yes, I know. I've already written a story about Atlantis in the Justice League Universe, but this one is different. Here Arthur doesn't exist. In his place is Ariel. The daughter born of Queen Atlanna and the Lighthouse Keeper instead of a son similar to how it was enacted in the film.
I've had this idea ever since the movie came out. Now it's time for it to blossom.
Also, I need your shared opinions over a new story idea that I came up with recently while watching two of my favorite franchises.
I'm considering doing a Venom story for the 2001-2003 Justice League Series. Do you guys think I should make it a crossover or just put it in the Justice League Universe? Another thing is about an idea of the symbiote completely taking over the host or if the relationship is a lot like Eddie and Venom's in the 2018 movie?Another thing is I'm having trouble with figuring out a title and a name for my character. If anyone has suggestions I'm more than willing to hear them.
As per usual with stuff like this the person/readers that offer the winning suggestions gets a question answered for the story in mind. In this case it's the Justice League 2001-2003 and Venom 2018 story.
I really want to get this idea up and running soon, but I'm kind of all over the place.
Heads up guys! We've got trouble. I received this alert from another fellow author.
Subject: #SAVEYOURINTERNET
Can you imagine a world without the following:
- Youtube
- Twitter
- Facebook
- Tumblr
- Reddit
- Memes
What if I told you that all of this could potentially go away before the end of next year. #Article13 threatens to stop almost all user-generated content and their creative freedom, such as fanart and fanfiction.
To everyone in AND outside the EU. Just because you don't live in the EU, doesn't mean Article 13 won't affect you. The wording of Article 13 is so loose that it could be manipulated in a way where only big companies can upload content on the internet.
Article 13, as written by the European Parliament, will create large unintended consequences for everyone. Let's come together for a better solution. #SaveYourInternet
