Capítulo 69: Atlantis (14)
*Supes_POV*
Orvax Marius, the Fleet Captain of the Atlantean army. He is a total xenophobe, who hated the air-breathing civilization. So much so that he had frequently abused his military status, leading raids on surface-dwelling ships causing deaths of thousands.
In comics, he would go on to marry Atlanna and become the new King of Atlantis. Which would further fuel, his egoistic and violent personality. He would father a son with Atlanna named Orm and an illegitimate daughter with an unknown woman named Tula.
Orm would go on to become known as Ocean Master.
Orvax's flippant and erratic behavior would earn him a lot of enemies inside the court. He would also abuse Atlanna regularly.
After he became king, his raids on the surface world would become well known and increasingly horrendous. Whenever Atlanna would admonish him for these cruel acts, he would beat and berate her in front of Orm.
One day Atlanna would gather enough courage to leave her miserable relationship and life of Queen behind, in order to be with her love and her first son on the surface world.
Orvax in an effort to break her spirits would boast the falsified news that he has already murdered them both. But instead, this would anger Atlanna who would drive her scepter through his heart, killing him.
Looking at how enraged Orvax had become seeing me hugging Atlanna and her proclaiming our marriage, I gripped my trident tight readying myself for the assault and his subsequent end.
But before he could lash out, another man comes out from the flagship wearing a green armor and holding an Atlantean lance, "Sire, I am Vulko, the chief counselor to the throne of Atlantis. We are honored for the champion of the sea god Poseidon to be our new King, but according to the ancient customs of Atlantis whenever there is a challenge to the throne, the Combat of Kings is invoked, perhaps both of you can consider settling this issue in the Ring of fire.", He said bowing towards both of us.
"He is my mentor, he taught me how to fight and is a close friend of my father's", Atlanna whispers in my ear. Well even if you tell me all that, for me, he was just Green Goblin from the spiderman movie.
"Okay Osborn, let this be a show for the people of Atlantis to get to know how powerful their new king is.", I nod towards Vulko and address the people who cheer for me enthusiastically.
"I too accept the challenge, but he can't use that Trident in the fight", Orvax says pointing his Trident towards me.
The people go silent and Vulko too looks towards me worriedly awaiting my response, "I will accept that as your last wish", Hearing my words Orvax looked absolutely livid.
Before he loses it, Vulco intervened, "Both the combatants have accepted the challenge, the fight for the throne will take place tomorrow in the ancient battleground."
Orvax gave one last look at me and Atlanna and then returned to his flagship. Vulco asked for the people and the guards to go back, I too made the fishes go back.
Vulco then bows towards me asking if he could have the honor to show me around Atlantis. I told Karthen to enjoy the nearby waters and proceeded to use the Trident's power to fix the cracked grounds stunning everyone around me.
I and Atlanna are then taken to a different ship which looked fancier, Atlanna tells me that this ship is mainly used to escort royal guests.
Atlanna inquired Vulko about her father's state, he informs us that his last breath is still being maintained by the medics, and after a new king is chosen he would be allowed to rest.
The ship enters the gate and I get to see Atlantis in its full glory. It was a city filled with vibrant colors and lights. Seeing this ship coming, people halted and made way respectfully knowing who was inside. They had perfectly melded marine biology and technology, it was like even this chaos there was order.
Seeing the highly advanced city, I couldn't wait to get into their archives. Both Atlanna and Vulco began to introduce the city to me.
Apparently Atlanteans had a very strict hierarchy. There were low-borns, who lived in poverty. They resided near the ocean bed in the outer part of the city, where there were only ruins present with no technology whatsoever.
Then there were high-borns who lived in the upper part of the city and nearer to the royal palace which was situated in the center of the city. They alone enjoyed all the high positions in the court as well as most of the technological benefits of what Atlantis provided.
Most of the low born had fish-like traits and were not able to breathe on land. High borns particularly royalty were indistinguishable from humans and were able to survive on land.
I was taken to the royal palace where The Council members, The Widowhood, as well as members of The Silent School came to greet me at the entrance.
Seeing how respectful they were as well as hearing their thoughts, I knew how deep their belief in Poseidon went and that they had already accepted me as their king.
I proceed to command them that I will need tomorrow's fight to be broadcasted live everywhere in the city even in the poverty-stricken areas.
I also asked them to get permission to broadcast it to both the Kingdom of Brine and Fisherman. And to invite their Kings for tomorrow's event.
I give them specific instructions to them, that It's better to first make the Kingdom's aware of today's happenings, and then give them my formal invitation for an alliance.
When asked if I would be needing something else, I instruct both the widowhood and the council that tomorrow after I win the Fight, I will marry princess Atlanna and will get crowned as the King of Atlantis.

Avi2112 "Sire, why do you keep calling me Osborn?", Vulko asks confused.
"Tell me, Osborn, is your favorite color green? ... is that why you are wearing green armor? ... Do you sometimes talk to yourself in the mirror? ... Does the mirror talk back?"
