Prologue

We all live in a world where everyone is in need of a superhero. Some of us admire them, some of us wanted to be just like them and some of us grew to despise them. To each one's own. We all have a favorite superhero to look up to. They are the symbols of hope and the living embodiments of justice. They can inspire us to do something greater within ourselves and there's quite a few who helps delude our idealism. Of course there will be no yin without their yang. Metaphorically speaking, this means that being a hero has its downfalls. Some of which means that the more people they will try to help, rescue and save, the more enemies they'll make. As the opposite of heroism, there will be villainy. Those who'll use their powers for evil. They will inflict harm onto anyone, regardless whether they are heroes or not. If not for making the world a better place, the villains will either reshape the world into their own image or destroy it. Our superheroes will never allow them to have their way. Most of the villains are just petty criminals. So they don't put up much of a challenge for the surperheroes to say in the least. But there are much worst foes who can go toe to toe with the strongest, bravest and even the most powerful superhero in the world, if not the universe itself. Nevertheless, it is what they're here for. They fight for those who can't fight for themselves. They fight to defend a place they now call home. But most of all, they will fight for what's right and protect other people, regardless of race, sexuality, religion or even other species. The most famous group of superheroes in the world is the Justice League, which includes the legendary Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, The Flash and many others. We all know their stories very well. However, there is a few more other stories awaiting to be discovered. We all know the story of Aquaman. He is a half human, half Atlantean. His mother is Queen Atlanna of Atlantis and his father is a lighthouse keeper named Thomas Curry. Throughout the unknown union, our aquatic hero is born under the name Arthur Curry, although it is originally Orion. He grew up his whole life, communicating with fish and other sea life. Not only that, he can also breathe underwater. But because of his gifted abilities, he never quite fit in with other people. He thought he was alone with his powers, until a beautiful Atlantean princess named Mera came into his life. She convinced him to come home to the kingdom of Atlantis and take his rightful place on the throne. He didn't want to believe her at first and foremost. Despite of all the complicated circumstances, Arthur ventured with Mera on a breathtaking journey to retrieve King Atlan's powerful trident. With the golden weapon in his hand, Arthur can command the seven seas and all of the oceans' creatures at will. Thus he became the superhero, Aquaman. Now he's ready to claim his throne. For years, he has fought alongside with his fellow Justice League members against all evil. Then he married princess Mera and she became his queen. Together, they both ruled Atlantis at fairer hands. All the subjects adored them, except for their enemies who have challenged them. Some evil opposers wanted them dead. But still going strong, Aquaman and Mera stood by each other as they fought their opponents for many years. Nobody can take the throne away from the power couple. So from the days forward, Aquaman is not only the champion of justice and a king of Atlantis, but rather a bridge to both the lands and the seas. Although his story continues to be written, he, however, has a part of the story that is yet to be told. In fact, there is another aquatic figurine. A royal heroine and her companions dared to venture beyond the waters and into utter danger, just to find him. This is the untold story of the unsung heroes from the northeast Pacific Ocean. This is where it all begins...
