A portal opened near an uninhabited island as Alex, Arthur and Mera exited the portal and got thrown on the beach close to it.
All fo them landed as they gasped a little due to the energy expenditure of enduring the force of a wormhole and the vortex.
All of them recovered their breath and looked ahead as they saw a Trench creature looking person walking over to them.
It's like the guy had made an armour from the same design ad the creatures of the trench. Just that it was white in colour.
"Let me". Arthur said as he was about rush over and tackle the guy to the ground for a pummelling.
"Oi stop". Alex quickly stopped him as he knew who the person was and let the guy get close to them.
As soon as the guy came close to them. It removed the stiff crab claw on its arm and used the human hand to remove the mask on its head.
Arthur was a bit astonished when he saw who was behind the mask. His hands were a bit trembling as he looked at the person.
"Arthur". The woman said as she came forward and hugged Arthur tightly.
"I guess, we should hive them some alone time". Alex whispered in Mera's ear and headed off towards the distance with her following behind him.
"So, what's Atlantis like?" Alex asked as he down on a stone.
"It's beautiful with high buildings and glowing plants that illuminate the whole city". Mera got a bit excited as she talked about Atlantis. She had a wide smile on her face as she talked on and on.
"There are all sorts of different foods and drinks like your Surface World. It's a fantastic Country". Her smile stretched ear to ear as she looked at Alex and spoke.
"They are not two worlds but one. People just don't know it yet". Alex said as he rocked back and forth on the stone.
"Yeah". Mera nodded her head as she agreed with a smile.
The atmosphere between the two was pleasant and they were looking at each other fondly. The situation was a bit heated as they looked into each other's eyes.
Alex inched his face closer to her as Mera didn't shy away and soon their lips collided and they shared a gentle kiss with each other.
Alex pulled her closer as Mera literally sat down on his lap and kissed him tenderly. Their lips were sticking to each other like glue.
They disregarded everything as they kissed under the cover of the sky. Completely engrossed with each other. Neither was willing to let go.
Alex took back his mouth and smiled at Mera as both of them stood up from the stone when they Arthur and his mother walking towards them with a teasing smile on their faces.
"Congratulations". Arthur laughed as he patted Alex's shoulder with a broad smile
Alex didn't say anything as he just smiled back at him. Neither denying nor confirming anything.
"At least we have one good thing in this bad situation". Arthur said as he had a genuine smile on his face.
"This is?" Alex changed the topic as he pointed at Arthur's mother and asked.
"This is my Mother. The Queen of Atlantis, Atlanna". Arthur said as he clasped Atlanna shoulder from behind.
"I told ya didn't I?" Alex said as he smiled at the both of them.
"I know and I thank you for it". Arthur said solemnly as he bowed and Alex. Representing on how grateful he truly was.
"No need to bow, we are all friends here". Alex waved his as he dismissed him.
Atlanna smiled happily as she the Trio's situation and heard their words. 'You have some wonderful companions Arthur'. She thought.
"How did you survive?" Mera couldn't sit still anymore and asked the most crucial question.
"I struggled with everything I had and got sucked into the Wormhole and arrived here like you guys". Atlanna replied as she smiled at the two of them.
"So you have been here alone for 20 years?" Mera asked with astonishment.
"Yeah". Atlanna nodded her head.
"I commend you for not going totally nuts by staying alone for twenty years". Alex clapped his hands in congratulation as he said.
All of them gave him a roll of their eyes as they followed Atlanna towards the jungle at a certain distance from the beach.
"So we are kinda trapped here huh". Alex said as he scratched the back of his head.
"No there is a way but Arthur has to get the Trident of Atlan. That is our only way out". Atlanna said as he looked into Arthur's eyes.
"Lemme get it then". Arthur said as he got ready to go.
"No, it's not that simple. It is by the Might Karathen. It protects the Trident as it awaits the True King". Atlanna warned as she caught his arm.
"But that is the only choice. I will be fine. I won't let you guys down". Arthur said seriously as he looked at them.
"Okay Arthur. Just Be careful". Atlanna let go of his arm as she pointed towards the Waterfall in front of them.
"Umm, Can I go in with him? It'll make it less dangerous". Alex put up his hand like a student and asked.
"No, he has to do this himself". Atlanna denied as she looked at Arthur with a comforting smile.
'Gold Experience, go with him. If the Leviathan attacks then stop it'. Alex instructed as they saw Arthur nod at them and start walking towards the waterfall.
"So, are we just going to wait?" Alex asked as he sat down on the stone statue near them.
"No, we can talk while at it". Atlanna denied as she shook her head with a smile.
"I don't want to be disrespectful but can you comb your hair? It is a total mess and my teeth feel itchy while looking at it". Alex said as he took out a comb from one of his trouser pockets.
"Do you keep a comb with you?" Mera asked as she was dumbfounded by this.
"No matter what, the hairstyle shall never be destroyed". Alex said solemnly as he gave Atlanna the comb and rushed into the forest to look for some olives
After rummaging through for good ten minutes at his top speed. He finally found some olives and ground the oil out of them with Spirit force as he applied pressure from all sides.
"Use this oil. Will help". Alex said as he gave her a leaf container full of oil.
"Thanks". Atlanna said with a strained smile.
Mera on the side just gave Alex the side eye when she saw his behaviour.
"What!" Alex asked quirked up his brow.
"Haaa". Mera didn't say anything as she sighed and shook her head.
