History of Atlantis-3 legendary knights
Author's note: I don't see why everyone bothers putting disclaimers on every single freakin chapter. I would recommend that you put it on chapter 1 the beginning of your chapter. Also there are other characters from Atlantis such as Iona, Dartz, Ironheart & Chris. Just to remind you once more so you won't be confused the story begins here & it is set in Atlantis. I have already decided the location since no-one made requests through the reviews
Far away from the east coast of Cyprus hidden away from prying eyes was a city, a city unlike all others. But what was so special about this city people? People may ask. This city was a benevolent place with kind & giving people. The people were blessed with intelligence, strength & creativity & a large place to live including great lush fertile fields, large mines & a powerful army. The very walls & building were a brilliant artistic masterpiece & there were towering water fountains, attractive life-size statues of gods & small waterfalls falling downwards on every stairs on both side trimmed with gold in the mountainous design of the very city.
Very few people located where it was hidden & if they ever tried to get closer a great banishing spell will take hold leaving them confused & in the wrong direction. Only the pure of heart could enter its intricate gates & see the wonders of marble statues, water suspended artworks & its great riches. The place was blessed with beauty due to the artistic stonework, many ore mines & resources, and much artistic genius. The fields were plentiful with meat, fruits & vegetables. The very sea that surrounded it was full of fish life & the fisherman brought in so much fish with their nets that there was always extra including the other materials they had.
They were isolated in peace from the rest of the world yet they had a great reputation for their boundless import which resulted in them becoming wealthier. Indeed wealth to the people was like the very sand of the desert. They would sometimes help the others on the planet in war & decorating & made many great allies. The civilization who lived on this city called it Atlantis after the first king Atlas & they called themselves Atlantean whom believed they were the children of Zeus. This story will focus on 3 valiant Atlantean heroes who became a legend, protected the innocent & righteous cause & fought bravely. They are the 3 legendary knights-Timaeus, Critias & Hermos.
Anibal was rushing again; he couldn't believe he was missing an event as important as this. He was finally getting a companion for life a sibling he thought as he ran his Chiton flapping like the wind. He was young with curly blonde hair & blue eyes & was now beaded with sweat from running 10 stades. As he ran his mini marathon he occasionally stopped for a drink with peasants who were laughing & grinning when they saw him. His father was well-known as a knight, a very brave & kind one indeed. He treated everyone with respect as an equal-slaves, foreigners, peasants or nobles like himself. Anibal & his family's fame were due to his father Doran noble deeds.
He raced against time until he reached his house. It had a long marble wall with sapphire lining the top & an iron door with the statues of Poseidon at both sides. It had a large garden & a great flat roof with a 4 massive vertical stone carvings each depicting 4 different mythological events. Between the carvings were spaces & in the middle was a golden door which Anibal pushed forward. "You are late" he heard a voice boomed. The large blonde man who like Anibal had blue eyes except had a timeworn moustache, a long scar on his right eye & wore red robes. He was strong built & seems to have a powerful presence as he strolled towards Anibal with a sleeping infant in his arms. "Father Doran what is my little brother's name?" Anibal inquired to his father who was known as Doran. He smiled as if glad he asked "from this day forward this infant which was born of my beautiful wife Damaris shall be called Timaeus" he said as he handed the triple-coloured baby to Anibal.
Tydeus & Vanko were working on the field watering the plants & preparing the grain for harvesting. Vanko's mother had been sick for many days & today was going to conceive the child they were expecting. Vanko had bushy brown hair, a messy face & innocent blue eyes. Tydeus was like his son only had rougher skin from the hard work as a farmer. The two often used work as a way to relieve stress & comfort themselves. This time was no exception for they were worried that the child birth may cause her to die. All of a sudden the doctor came shouting through the fields "the baby has been conceived unto this world".
Fear & worry mingled with joy & relief as they rushed to their small shanty little house. They saw the tired & panting woman with red hair holding a small child with red hair. "Lorraine how does it feel" Tydeus asked the young woman who was panting constantly. "I'm not going to make it" she said weakly "I'll be joining the gods soon in the next life…I hope to see you there" she continued. Lorraine paused for a brief moment panting with her arm now shaking. "Take good care of your son Hermos…treat him good…I hope he looks like his brother Vanko…like...His...Twin..See you in the next life" she said her last words as she collapsed lifelessly onto the bed letting Hermos slip. Vanko quickly caught his brother & began crying a river along with his father over the dead body of Lorraine. They feared that Zeus might take her life to live with him & he did.
Caesareo listened casually to her mother Eulallia panting & struggling to push the baby out & he was very observant about what was happening. He had a long red hair that was insulted for being feminine & grey curious eyes. As the son of Atlantis official librarian life was very restricting for him & he never really knew the meaning of the word fun. Finally after what seemed like an eternity the pushed out crying as it went, he watched on carefully as it was comforted by the servants & given a kiss on the head by the mother. Caesareo walked towards his mother & knew exactly what he was going to be called "I would like to make a proposal mother Eulallia" he said in a strong, hard & dominating voice "I would like my brother's name to be Critias". Eulallia smiled widely as she replied nicely "Critias it is my son".
Author's note: Unless you don't know by now Caesareo is the incarnation of Alister, Vanko is the incarnation of Valon & Anibal is the incarnation of Raphael. Don't ask me why I just thought it was a great idea if their incarnations were the brothers of the Knights (incarnations of Yugi, Seto & Joey). Some research for the fan fiction. Slightly sad introduction for Hermos I know. I don't have anything against him though or Joey just wanted to have an attempt at tragedy. I doubt I'll have more original characters, but I will continue to tell you whose incarnation is who. Oh & all the original characters name including Doran (for all you Deltora quest fans) are Greek.
