Chapter 1: A Kingdom Falls.

"…in a single day and night of misfortune, the island of Atlantis disappeared into the depths of the sea." –Plato, 360 B.C.

White clouds filled the sky as the water swayed calmly when suddenly in the distance dark spots were seen slowly growing into more distinguished shapes as they raced across the sky.

While they neared the sky turned dark and the water became treacherous as an alien sound filled the once quiet ocean, in the distance from where these figures came from a mushroom cloud could be seen yet as that dissipated a large wave could be seen rising and gaining on the fleeing flyers.

The strange shapes rapidly approached showing that they seemed to be machines in the shape of various sea life. As they rapidly raced ahead of the massive wave the man in the lead who seemed like the man in charged yelled to the man next to him,

"Fool! You've doomed us all!"

The man looked behind him in fear as the wave advanced and took many of his fellow men. He looked to his commander and saw the same fear in his eyes as they witnessed their own destruction heading for their sacred home.

"Τhe wave is approaching! We must warn Atlantis before it is consumed general!" The soldier yelled out pushing his machine to its limit.

"Quick Men! Before it's too late!" The general ordered as more of his men were consumed by the massive tsunami.

The men pushed their machines to the limit trying to stay ahead of the wave that was sure to bring their destruction at any moment. As they maneuvered through great cliffs that bordered the kingdom of Atlantis they could hear the screams of their fellow men as they were consumed which only motivated them to go faster so that they would not share the same fate.

Once they were out of the cliffs the magnificent kingdom of Atlantis was seen rising out of bright green plains and smooth water not knowing of the great destruction that would soon befall them. The men hurried through the city trying to get to the center to warn the royal family but it seems that the Heart of Atlantis had already sensed the danger as it sent out dark red beams of light throughout the center warning its citizens of what was coming. As the general approached he could hear the palace guards ringing the bells and calling out to the citizens below,

"Everyone to the shelters!"

"Everyone to the shelters!"

He could see his people running in terror towards the shelters and see how his own fellow soldiers raced to the ground crashing their crafts in their rush to get to safety. He couldn't believe what was occurring within the city and how their great city may soon be destroyed.

He landed onto the ground looking for his King and Queen as well as the young prince and princess. As he got off his craft he saw the royal family staring at the chaos surrounding them in disbelief and fear.

"This way your highness. Quickly, we must get you to safety." He cried as he rushed over to them gesturing for them to follow him.

"Aster, what is going on? What happened?" King Kashekim asked as he followed his trusted general.

"A tidal wave your higness. It's heading this way and already many of our souilders by it and I fear we may not be able to escape it's wrath." Aster answered quickly clearing the way for his beloved King.

"Do you know what caused it?" The King asked.

As the King and general moved towards the shelter Queen Maralana was trying to get her son Kai and daughter Kida to move as they both seemed transfixed by the chaos surrounding them,

"Kai, Kida, come on we must leave!" She cried grabbing their hands and dragging them towards their father praying that this will not be the day that they are destroyed.However that caused them both to drop the toys they were playing with. Kida dropped her doll while Kai dropped his minature stone ketak that he was playing with.

"Both of you just leave them! There is no time, we have to follow your father and Aster to the shelters." She answered stopping to stoop down to their levels and grasping their shoulders trying to show them that she was serious and that they had to hurry. Yet as she tried to calm her young son and daughter one of the dark red beams suddenly surrounded her bathing her in it light as it turned a light blue. She turned and looked at the beam of light in shocked and as she stood her blue heart crystal lifted up until it was parallel with her chest.

Her light blue eyes slowly widened and were filled with a light blue light that also filled her heart crystal. As she stared up at the beam of light, her husband turned from Aster looking for his wife, son, and daughter yet what he saw caused his heart to seize. He saw his wife become surrounded by the blue light as his son and daughter held her hands and looked around in confusion unable to comprehend what was happening to their mother and what the blue light could represent.

All of the light beams that the Heart of Atlantis had sent out configured together towards the Queen until they became a single thin beam that flashed over her heart crystal causing everyone that surrounded her to look away and clench their eyes shut as they moved away from their Queen.

The thin beam slowly widened until even Kai and Kida were partially covered, both of whom were still unable to comprehend what was occurring and continued to hold their mother's hand. The Queen who seemed to be in a trance was slowly been levitated up into the beam and as she did the silver bracelet that adorned kai's thin wrist was slipped off of him as was the same to Kida's small silver beaded bracelet as their mother continued to be lifted into the Heart of Atlantis.

"Μama!" Kai and Kida both cried in unison, reaching for their mother hoping to stop her from leaving them. Yet as the Queen approached the Heart it could be seen on the border of the city center that a light blue shield was being raised closing off the center regardless of the numerous citizen that were racing for the center.

The shield was quickly closing leaving behind numerous citizens that banged and plead for the shield to open and allow them safe passage but it was too late, the shield would not open for anyone not even for the crafts that were rushing to beat the shields closing only resulting in the crafts crashing.

Families and friends were separated and those outside of the protective shield were left to die. King Kashekim looked in horror as many of his people were left behind to be killed by the massive wave and as he ran to his son he knew that he will most likely never see his Queen again.

"Kai! Kida! Both of you close your eyes! Do not look!" He yelled pressing kai and Kida's faces to his chest hoping to protect them from the light of the Heart, yet he was unable to look away as his wife was consumed by the Heart so that she may protect them all. I will always love you my beautiful flower was the last thing the King thought before the light took his eyesight, the last thing he saw was his beloved wife disappearing into the Heart.

High above them the once slow circling Heart of Atlantis was quickly gaining speed and distributing a burning light blue light that soon connected with the rising shield completely covering the city center with its glow and as the massive tsunami swept up the outer reaches of the city the shield carrying its precious cargo slowly lowered into the ground until the ocean once again claimed the once green prosperous land.

As the last of the blue light vanished the ocean once again became still and settled hiding the once glorious city of Atlantis, never to be seen by the world above again. At least that's what the people of Atlantis believed…

Oh my! Talk about heartbreaking. No child or children should lose their mother. So what do you guys all think? yay? Nay? So until next time my lovely readers, READ and REVIEW.
