History of Atlantis-3 legendary knights
Author's note: I know it's been a long time since I've updated but better late than never. Also I'm planning the plot, complications etc for this series I'm going to call the UCW for short. I'm not going to tell anyone the full name; because I'm suspicious you might take the idea. Also Happy New Year to everyone.
A farmer's boy, that was the common title of Hermos, one of the three men who were to become the three legendary knights. His rise to power and valiance was most definitely an inspiring and bemusing story for the people below the nobles in the Atlantean hierarchy pyramid. At the time of his peculiar childhood, Hermos was never envisioned nor thought to one day become a powerful defender of the utopian society.
Hermos decided to go for a walk. He fondly remembered that short talk that had sealed his enjoyable situation. After all, it wasn't everyday that he got a chance to go visit the more civilized part of Atlantis. He still replayed those very same short moments in his head. "Hermos, I need you to go to town to sell our products and I need you to repay a few debts" he said grimly. Ecstatically he rushed out of the house, places the food in the carriage and whipped the donkey multiple times with the lease in his excitement.
The donkey whom they called Mari-Su had scars of being whipped constantly with the ropes and was known to travel long distances. In his early childhood Hermos and Vanko were reminded how they both bashed the donkey. One of them will get on its perfectly furry back and fiercely hit it while the other kicked it mercilessly. However Tydeus didn't mind and encouraged this behavior only to this beautiful donkey. Some say he hated animals, others believed it was an unbearable dislike for the donkey, but some believed it was the donkey's odd features.
Mari-Su was a young, tamed and flawless donkey with smooth and straight grey fur. She had a strange pink mane and was remarkably intelligent and beautiful (for a donkey). Mari-Su suffered several tragic misfortunes including being whipped, trapped in a cage, and kicked by other horses and donkeys, being beaten since she was a baby and having mud thrown at her. But you shouldn't pity Mari-Su because her role is only small and unimportant due to the fact she's a donkey. She is just a donkey that doesn't deserve to be important or have a story focusing on her life.
In a blink of an eye, Mari-Su jolted to the city with such lightning speed. Many found it hard to believe that a donkey like that could defy common logic and do amazing things. Mari-Su had an odd ability to figure out many sums, even though no-one taught her and she never saw anyone doing math sums and could run faster than a leopard. Hermos quickly sold all the stock with his cunning abilities and set out to explore the beautiful city.
Even though his father told him to be back as soon as he sold the stock, his childhood curiosity overtook him. Tying Mari-Su to a public area, he immediately scrawled in Greek 'Kick the Donkey or throw rotten vegetables at her' on the wall nearby. Then happily he ran down the white brick alleys. Hermos grinned as he remembered everything he did in those hours of freedom. He teased the neighbouring stall holders, brought delicious treats which he never thought possible, met new friends and played several games, visited the oracle and greeted the nobles. He also visited famous landmarks which he could only imagine from the descriptions of his brother and father.
But he was dumb struck at the beauty of the city as well as the marvelous places he visited. He couldn't believe how magnificent Atlantis really was in real life and broke into tears of joy when he looked at the colorful roofs, waterfalls on the stairs, pulchritudinous artworks and towering statues. Yet he thanked his brother for this pleasurable experience of beauty. Hermos had made a deal with his brother Vanko, he promised to do most of his farm work and chores in exchange for his visit to the city. Vanko being a nice and generous person got himself stung by a bee to secure the deal.
Hermos was saddened to see his brother in pain, but it was the only way to make sure he could go. Hermos wasn't surprised that Vanko would jeopardize his health for him, after all Vanko was always a loyal older brother. He sighed as he thought about him but he knew his father would never allow him to go to the civilized part of the city if he asked. He tried this many times only to fail and get sent to his room. Tydeus had become over-protective of Hermos after the death of his dear wife Lorraine. He was told that his mother died at childbirth by Vanko and Tydeus swore in Poseidon's name to protect him.
Hermos had button-like brown eyes and rough, bushy red hair. He was curious, temperamental, friendly and chivalrous. He also had a habit for joining into fights to defend someone. It seems as though Lorraine sort of got her dying wish. Due to the fact Vanko and Hermos had a lot in common despite their differing appearance.
Tydeus often prevented Hermos from danger and kept him under his supervision constantly. He never let him into the city due to fear of abduction and gave him clothes to protect from bees and other possible dangers. Tydeus never knew that his over-protection was ruining Hermos childhood and preventing him from many positive influences. Tydeus suffered great fear and paranoia ever since Lorraine's death. In fact there was a curfew and the two brothers were forced into many daily rituals to keep them safe and healthy.
Hermos had been rebellious today and was thankful for Vanko's help. He continued walking until he heard the sounds of fist hitting an object and cries for help. He sprinted to the source of noise, praying that it wasn't too late to help the stranger. Running past artwork after artwork, fountain after fountain, jolting stair after stair and passing house after house. He stopped as he saw a group of boys maliciously kicking and punching a boy about his age. They had a glint of malice in their eyes as they bashed the boy rolling on the floor, trying not to break into tears. A crowd was already there jeering, laughing and making jokes about him as he was being mobbed.
He saw enough and looked around with prying eyes like a cat for an object. He picked up a rough rock and threw it with might at what he suppose was the leader. The auburn-haired teen looked at him with great anger burning in his eyes. "LEAVE HIM ALONE" he shouted so everyone could hear. He looked around and saw confused and some jeering faces looking at him as though he was mad. Perhaps they consider this boy an outcast and its taboo to stand up for him he thought as he dodged a punch.
Hermos didn't know what to expect from gang fights, he only fought one on one to defend his brother and family. He hadn't fought for a long time, nor did he know what the civilized people (as he called them) fighting techniques were. Dodging as much punches and fighting back as hard as he could to defend the boy. He was also suffering the hurting effects of some of the well-aimed hits as he fought wildly. Soon the unknown boy stood up and joined him in the battle, working together like generals trying to destroy an army. However the powerful adolescents soon prevailed as the entire onlookers joined in. Two people gripped them on the floor while the others stoned them with glee.
"Stone the rejects" Hermos heard them shout as a rain of stone came down on them. He felt blood dripping in torrents from his wounds, new wounds forming and old wounds drawing fresh blood. He tossed his head and closed his eyes as he saw the blonde and himself in a pool of blood. I'll be joining my mother gladly soon he thought to himself as the ordeal continued. Just when he thought death was near he heard a faint sound as if it was a shout from miles away. "I order you to stop this stoning of these innocent people" the voice seems to whisper and then he fainted into darkness.
Disclaimer: The author doesn't condone cruelty or bashing of innocent animals in real life. He does however gladly accept and condones Mary Sue bashing in any form on fanfic. Also if you bash Mary Sue like I did in the form of a donkey in real life or any other form of animal cruelty…I'M GOING TO GET THE POLICE ON YOU! YOU SADISTIC BASTARD.
Author's note: Well that was obvious, that it was Hermos. Anyway please review and what do you think of the story so far? Do you have any problems with this strange new type of Mary Sue bashing. If I did a Marlin in Tydeus, it's purely coincidental. (Marlin is the over-protective father of Nemo in Finding Nemo in case you don't know) If you don't understand some of the words, use a dictionary. Also I'm not quite sure, if I can add plot to this story. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
It's too bad they don't consider the important knights a character on this website,then I wouldn'tneed to put this story under minor character categories. Also I've notice there isn't one story on Princess Chris, daughter of Atlantis. Does she have a full name? Then her name wouldn't sound that peculiar. No offense to the people who also have this shorten name,but I do find it peculiar. I might do a story on the innocent minor character who fought against her father in the battle of Atlantis.
