Chapter 66 - Poisedon

The mysterious metropolis of Atlantis, unknown to the surface world, rests at the bottom of the ocean. Its presence is a closely guarded secret, known only to those who have braved the depths. A highly evolved merman culture calls this metropolis home, and it is a place of unreal architecture and a magical atmosphere.

The submerged lights give an unearthly aura to the mythological underwater buildings as you descend into the depths. The exquisite shapes of the structures evoke a sense of organic beauty, as if they were plucked from a dream. They appear to be fashioned from the coral and seashells that surround them.

A monumental building, a symbol of Atlantis's majesty, rises at the city's centre, looking out over its inhabitants. It is the King's Palace, a grand and royal structure that serves as the centre of merman society. The towering spires of the palace, which seem to float above the waves, are reminiscent of the architecture of a vanished culture. The king views his domain from its lofty heights, safeguarding the peace and prosperity of his people.

Deep-sea photographers are drawn to Atlantis, akin to moths drawn to a flame, as they capture the enchanting reality that only exists in fiction and legend. Their optics catch the merfolk as they effortlessly navigate their underwater paradise, their tails sparkling with brilliant colours, and their houses lighted by the gentle, ethereal glow of bioluminescent organisms.

Beneath the waters, the merman civilisation of Atlantis continues to stand as a tribute to the infinite mysteries of the deep sea. Atlantis, a realm where the fantastic and the real coexist, where the splendour of nature and the brilliance of culture are inseparable. In the depths of the ocean, where Atlantis once stood, everything is possible.

The awe-inspiring throne room, Poseidon Throne, is located in the heart of Atlantis and is the mighty ruler of the merman civilisation. This magnificent chamber commemorates his legendary exploits and the magnificence of his reign.

The throne chamber is permeated by a strange and entrancing atmosphere that evokes the spirit of the sea, a captivating universe of vivid blue-green hues. The walls are covered in large pictures of Poseidon, each depicting one of his many heroic deeds. The complex artwork depicts the king's travels, from epic battles with massive marine animals like the great leviathan to missions to find hidden treasures in the ocean's depths. These images bring the legend of Atlantis to life by highlighting the ruler's greatness and intelligence.

The throne room's ethereal lighting creates a surreal environment, as if the ocean itself had been called upon to provide the room's illumination. The delicately carved coral sconces flank the area, emitting a soft, phosphorescent glow that illuminates the space like something out of a dream. The space comes to life in a mesmerising dance of luminosity thanks to the interplay of light and shadow, which gives it dimension and character.

When you enter Poseidon's throne room, you will feel as if you have entered a world where fiction and reality coexist harmoniously. Everything in the room exudes the king's power and ingenuity, from the paintings to the lighting to the movement of the water. This magnificent and beautiful monument commemorates Poseidon, the merman king, and embodies the spirit of Atlantis.

Poseidon, King of the Sea, emanated strength and regality from his throne in the heart of Atlantis. His merfolk subjects arrive to pay their respects, their faces a mix of awe and eagerness. Divine illumination, a gentle, entrancing radiance that seemed to emanate from the depths of the ocean, filled the throne room.

In this vibrant underwater world, rich with colours that evoke the deep sea's beauty, Poseidon stood as a figure of classical realism— a living embodiment of the ancient tales of Greek mythology. His chiselled features and flowing beard reveal the wisdom of a god who has ruled the sea for aeons.

Poseidon usually never showed his worry, but now he looked a little too anxious. Like the depths of the ocean, his piercing eyes were filled with thought as he stared off into the distance. The subject of his deep thought revolved around the unsettling rumours circulating in the realm of Olympus. Word had reached him that Gaia, the Earth Mother and a close ally, had taken a mortal man as her consort.

Poseidon seemed puzzled, his brow furrowing. Gaia, who had always been like a younger sister to him, had now tied her fate to that of a human. The news troubled him, for the bond between the gods and mortals had always been a delicate balance, and such an alliance with one so fleeting raised concerns regarding the future of their divine realms.

The subjects of Poseidon looked at each other nervously, sensing the importance of their king's thoughts. It was possible that the rising conflict among the gods of Olympus could soon have an impact on the undersea world of Atlantis, which had long remained concealed from the surface world. For the first time in his reign, the King of the Sea had to decide between his undying devotion to Gaia and his fears for the future of their planet in light of this new union.

With a regal nod, Poseidon turns his attention to a nearby mermaid, selecting her for the important task of delivering a message to Gaia, who was rumoured to be in Athens. The mermaid warrior, her glistening tail shimmering with a silvery radiance, gracefully approached her king to receive the message.

In his powerful yet elegant voice, Poseidon imparts his message to the mermaid, ensuring that every word is conveyed with the utmost clarity and reverence. The message is a formal request for an audience with Gaia, the Earth Mother, and a query about the truth behind the rumors that a mortal man has captivated her heart.

The mermaid nods in understanding, her eyes reflecting the solemnity of the message's importance. With a graceful curtsy, she takes her leave; her streamlined form propels her through the water faster than a speeding bullet with grace and purpose. Her mission was to traverse the vast underwater expanse, eventually reaching Athens to deliver Poseidon's message to the goddess Gaia herself.
