First of Atlantis, Fallen: Chapter 7
"Nearly five hundred turns of the world passed quietly. The City of Atlantis continued to flourish. The Atlanteans learned to build up as well as out. Arden's female descendents received her Gift of Second Sight. Though they were rare, the Seers Foresaw disastrous events and Atlantis was properly prepared for them. As a civilization, the Atlanteans evolved. The ruling Council changed; governing the people well. Those that Thought formed many factions and garnered followings; all were accepted without discord.
"One such thinker, Seriade, watched the Stars. He came to believe that they held power beyond one's dreams. Many times he greatly desired something, someone, or an event. Seriade requested of the Stars to fulfill his desires. With only a little work by his hand towards his goal, situations fell align and his desires were fulfilled.
"Seriade believed the Stars were granting his desires because he requested the help of their power.
"His fellow Atlanteans enjoyed this thought faction. They too began asking the Stars for power to grant their desires. Soon, this belief had spread to the entire city. Everyone was requesting the Stars' power to grant their desires."
The Deities desired to know what powerful Other Deity was granting the wishes of the Atlanteans. They most certainly were not! Why would Another Deity grant the Atlanteans' wishes? Would this Other Deity come to this world and show him or herself to Atlantis, expecting to be worshiped?
All of the Deities enjoyed a good laugh over that. Whoever was meddling in their universe obviously did not know Atlantis. This Other Deity would receive quite the shock whenever he or she decided to present him or herself to Atlantis.
The Deities decided that when this Other Deity appeared and was rejected, righteous fury would follow. The Other Deity would certainly be justified in rampaging through the disobedient, self-proclaimed great city. Perhaps the entire destruction of Atlantis would come forth.
The Deities decided to sit back and watch the situation unfold.
