-The same day, yet in 1915, under the Atlantic Sea, underground in the city of Atlantis-

(Helga's P.O.V.)

I groaned lightly as I woke up in a room that has lanterns which contained fireflies. The walls are whitewashed pale tan, the fabrics all around are vibrant colors, through the most popular are light blue and cream, and there are open-air windows. In Atlantis, once again. Who found me and bought me here? For some reason somehow, I had my old clothes back on myself through they're pretty worn down, it's like I was just found in time before the volcano erupted, yet the bruises are new, as I knew the shape of them. Pita and Kherpe are real, it was not a dream or a vision.

Footsteps reached my ears and I turned around to see one of the doors open, a Atlantean man looking inside to check if I had woken up, determining by his curious yet polite facade. I nodded slightly as he saw me, and he smiled stiffly as he fully came in. He has his torso half-covered in a toga of dark blue and silver cream, his dark skin tattooed. On his chin, under his lips are a blunt upside down fork, the line from the lips, forming into three lines jutted into the chin. And on his right shoulder is a hook shape, like Kida's spear. His white hair is a spiky Mohawk with the sides tucked into a ponytail. Determining by his tattoos and posture, I figured that he is a hunter or a scout.

"Have you slept well?". He asked softly yet his voice feels like it can fill a room all by itself. I spoke firmly, "I have. I presume you have bought me here?". He nodded, replied, "I have. I healed your cuts yet your injuries had to be healed by our medicine woman. I am afraid you'll have to bear these bruises quite for a bit. I am called Nilumansia. My nickname is 'Nilu'.".

I nodded in understanding, "Do I suspect that the Princess wants to see me now?". Nilu frowned slightly, "The queen Kidagakash has ordered it so that you must obey once you have awaken. She and King Milo thought that you were dead.".

A sigh escaped my lips, "I survived because of fortune. And for my past injuries and bruises when you found me, I had lost a battle with a rather pissed off creature.".

Nilu immediately perked up, alert as his eyes widened, "Could you describe the beast?". I blinked, tried to think of something I had researched about Atlantis back in the 21st century, and then found it. "It looked like a mix of a bat and a reptile, maybe crocodile. It was big as one of your machines you flew in during the battle in the volcano, and numerous teeth.".

Nilu exhaled, "Ah, that was a Osnibros.. They are vicious hunters, yet their meat is excellent. Through what is a crocodile?".

I smirked, "Crocodiles are huge reptiles with teeth, low to the ground when on earth, yet very excellent swimmers in the water.". He nodded, and gestured for me to get up and follow him. I did what he has gestured, and we headed out of the room, out into a hallway. I figured I was in the palace itself, as I only saw the throne room. I murmured, "Never thought that Thatch would be king.".

Nilu smiled wryly, "He has done so much for our queen and our city, he has stayed behind to rebuild Atlantis as it should be centuries ago. King Milo has become the partner of Queen Kidagakash, yet they are awaiting to be married soon.".

I chuckled, "Figures since they're a match for each other. It was obvious for me as it was for the others in my group.". Nilu laughed a bit at that, "Teeg. I believe you are the woman called Helga Sinclair, are you not?".

"I am she.". I answered firmly. We soon made it to a couple of doors as the hallway was long. Nilu knocked on it, "Your Majesties, Helga Sinclair is awake and here with me.".

"Send her in.". announced Kida clearly behind the door, and Nilu opened one of the doors, gave me a small smile and whispered, "Fortune to you, Helga.". I smiled at him, returned the saying, "Fortune to you, Nilumansia.". I hoped I said it right, and Nilu smiled brightly, and I knew I said it properly to the last letter. I then came in, seeing the Princess and Thatch sitting respectively upon chairs of some kind, which I suspected as the sitting/living room in one of their rooms as they aren't married yet, plus the single bed was a clue as well. I saw Thatch in his now-present Atlantean clothes, yet the tattoo on his left shoulder is not yet there, and I suspected that he will earn it on the wedding day. Kida was watching me warily with curiosity in her eyes, with Thatch seeming nervously optimistic with baited breath. I pray that they will listen to me as I have grown to respect them. Thatch will be easier, yet the Princess, no, Queen will be harder as I bought about her father's death, and the near-death of her city. I wonder if the Crystal will see this meeting as it clearly has a consciousness of its own through their crystals. I hope I can go back home to Pita.
