Heart of Atlantis Chapter 12
Audrina had been confined to quarters the moment the wedding had concluded. So she wasn't there for the actual send-off for when the army left for the surface world. Guards were stationed at every exit diminishing any possible chance of escape from this hellhole. They were outside the doors to her chambers, the balcony, and all the windows.
Orm was taking every precaution to make sure his sister stayed where she was under heavy restrictions. The consequences of what would probably happen should she even make the smallest attempt were left unsaid. Audrina could imagine the horrors Orm would have in store for her without their mother here to restrain him anymore and Black Manta she didn't want to even consider it. What went on in his mind regarding her is not a good thing. From one of the windows mentioned, she watched as the army led by the Ocean Master, Orm, departed from Atlantis with the people cheering their imminent victory as they departed. It was here Audrina truly despaired.
The army gone to wreak havoc on the surface the people of Atlantis went about their daily lives patiently awaiting news of their triumphant return.
Audrina felt as if all hope was lost until an unexpected party decided to announce its presence.
Suddenly Audrina could hear the noise of fighting from outside her room. There were shouts and bangs that she couldn't place. It only lasted a few seconds and then it was gone. Audrina's nerves jumped everywhere thinking it was part of some twisted plan of Orm's. Instead, she received a surprise when the front and balcony doors swung open to reveal their identities.
Arthur, Superman, Wonder Woman, Cyborg, Green Lantern, and Mera swam inside none the worse for wear and very much alive.
Audrina stood there shell-shocked. The last time she saw them they were being taken to get devoured by a sea monster.
"You're alive," she breathed, eyes wide. "But how?"
Smiling Arthur swam over to hug her, saying "Orm can't get rid of me that easily. That insult he told me about the Trident's magic turned out to be his downfall. He may call me a bastard, but I still have royal blood in my veins letting me access its power even from a distance. With it I freed us from those prisons."
"Yeah and not too soon either," said Green Lantern.
"If you're looking for Orm you won't find him in Atlantis. He's left for the surface world and he's taken the entire Atlantean military with him in an all-out assault," informed Audrina.
Superman said "We know."
"Then why are you just standing here? Stopping Orm is more important than helping me," argued Audrina.
"We're on our way to do so now. We just had to pick something up first," said Cyborg, moving to stand beside Arthur.
"Me," asked Audrina, pointing in confused disbelief at herself.
Nodding, Cyborg said "Yes, we have a plan and your role is crucial when it comes to the part you have to play in all this."
Composing herself with an unyielding fortified determination crossing her face, Audrina said "What do I need to do?"
Authors Note:
Hmmm…I wonder what they're going to have Audrina do.
I hope you all like this one! I certainly did while writing it for your vast enjoyment! ;D
For those of you just starting out with my stuff there are other works on my profile that may catch your interest. I highly recommend you take a look as soon as the opportunity presents itself to you. Who knows, you may be pleasantly surprised by what you discover.
Stay safe everyone. Especially with all of these crazy natural disasters occurring a lot lately due to global warming and climate change everywhere for sure. I swear it's like they're getting worse and worse all the time and it's like officials are simply just ignoring it or pretending it doesn't exist entirely just to go on with their daily lives. Especially those in multi-million dollar companies that rely on certain elements of our planet that we rely on to naturally keep us safe instead of adapting and finding new safer ways to keep in business. There are so many options out there where they can adapt, but they just refuse to see it because all they care about is money. Climate change is altering so much faster than anyone can really keep track of.
So, in light of all this, it is important to live life to the fullest as much as anyone can.
I know I am. ;) See you guys next time.
