On his way walking, Heracles could not stop repeating the last scene of the fight.
'...I know what you meant, for one moment...
He seemed to have stronger powers than me!!
It isn't surprising in itself, but...How could he even show flashes of that this early?!
What are really his powers? His Qarin...
I couldn't see it...or even feel it.
Could it be that his Qarin is one of the 7kings?
But If true, Alkeyder should've known about it easily...'
While he's deeply thinking about what happened, Ayla was running towards him, and stopped in his way.
"Master Heracles!"
"Yes! What is it?" He replied.
Ayla. "Back then you didn't let me heal you, I know you take pride in your wounds but I don't care!
This time let me heal you. All your ribs are broken!
It can cause some internal damage that cannot heal on its own."
Heracles smiles, surprisingly he didn't even answer back.
He did let her heal him..
When she finished, he said. "You're happy now?"
Ayla's happy face and smile was a clear answer to that.
Then he went on his way..
Herald also has just woke up.
"Ugh...What happened?"
Alkeyder. "You lost!"
Herald. "Ofcourse i would, but how did i do so?
I don't recall anything from the moment i wanted to deliver my last punch."
Aciya. "You've taken a pretty hard blow from Heracles, it may have damaged your memory a little bit.
Anyways that's not important, thank god you're okay!"
Herald stands up on his feet. "Yeah yeah, am all good. Thanks to you Love"
The two masters backed off a bit, letting the other Atlanteans check on their friend.
Beazly. "I can tell you what happened if you want, you were really strong.
I could feel it from when i was standing!"
Sebastin. "Yeah, I mean look at the Arena, you two made a mess!"
Herald laughs. "Hhahahaha! Honestly I don't know how I did it... I never thought i'll be able to hold up with a serious Heracles this long!!"
Oumad. "Hmmmm, you always say that but you surely have been learning new technics and powers behind us!"
Joshou. "Hate to do so, but I agree with you on this one!"
Herald. "What? You think I am hiding stuff about you?
Wait a minute...
You were all learning new stuff secretly!!"
The Atlanteans kept joking with each other...
Later on that day, they continued the lesson they put on hold weeks ago, The new Atlantis chapter!
After telling them the complete story of Nimrod and Abraham, and the legendary showdown they had that all of Babylon came to see...
Alkeyder finally asks, "So...I think all of you had enough time to think about what is the New Atlantis, and what is it's relation with the story of both Enoch and Abraham?"
Oumad was the first to answer. "I think that...In both events we've seen two great cities that completely oppose each other. The city of Zion and Babylon! The first one was the old Atlantis...But the other one is certainly not the new Atlantis."
Alkeyder. "You're right, that's a good comparaison.
So then, what is the new Atlantis?"
Joshou answers. "...Maybe there was never a new Atlantis. Or could it be that after Abraham's win, he created one?"
Alkeyder. "Not quite, but he did something no one else did before or after him in the post-flood era."
Elara. "He layed the foundations of a possible new Atlantis!"
Alkeyder smiles just like a professor would do when a student gets the answer right.
"Excellent my daughter, he brought times of purity once again...But time wasn't his best friend, and he died before being able to see them getting fulfilled totally.
Yet, that is not the complete answer, there is one more ingredient left."
Surprisingly, the one who had the final answer was Beazly!
"I think, that the new Atlantis is what we...or maybe the whole Atlantean association strive for! It is our duty as Atlanteans to create it again in our post-flood era. To Create a new Atlantis!"
Everybody was happily shocked that it came out from him, the notes he kept taking certainly weren't for nothing!
Alkeyder. "Absolutely, great answer Sir Beazly. The new Atlantis, is one of the ultimate goals of our association! You all may ask, should it be again an island, or a city like babylon, or even a country...
The answer to that is, none of them, it should be the whole world!
Because Babylon, has returned long time ago. And it's the whole world that we live in!"
Herald agrees in his mind. 'True...I always drew comparaisons between the world we live in and babylon of old. Its all pretty much the same, except that Babylon wasn't hiding anything behind fake reasonning and manipulation.'
The lesson ended.
After that, combat was replaced by other competitions such as swimming and even cooking, to add more fun to it.
Aciya had to be expelled from it or else why even bother compete?
Everybody had great time in all of the remaining days, from basketball games which were so competetive that had to be settled with a last second buzzer beater, and you would never expect from who it came from, but it was Galahad! Who then confirms that Basketball was his favorite sport and that he also watches the Nba, same as Herald!
To football games that allowed using super powers, basically making Inazuma11 have a live action adaptation!
To chess, which was the competition in which tactical minds showed their superiority, the last standing 4 were Alkeyder, Joshou, Herald and Galahad.
The final match was between Alkeyder and Galahad, It was at first in favor of Alkeyder until he made a silly mistake that Galahad used to his favor, and then went to declare himself as the winner!
The lessons and spiritual sessions didn't stop either, The 7Atlanteans gained even more knowledge about everything surrounding them and the hidden truth of the world they live in.
It was also time they knew about the Elixir of immortality, and the fact that their Masters and Majestic Guardians consumed some of it. Leaving them all wondering about the real history behind each and everyone of them. Which Alkeyder chose not to spill, atleast not yet...
The spiritual sessions were at this point just everyone sitting and talking about whatever topic they had in mind, sharing jokes and funny experiences, Galahad making fun of someone occasionally, which Sahaqiel has to give him a slap on the back of his neck to stop him of doing so, It was all in all just very friendly moments that really strenghtenned their ties and souls.
...
The Last day of this surreal 3months, is here.
