The Atlantean Gods

Chapter 1 - Introductions:

Over the millenias, the Atlantean kingdom expanded to cover majority of the vast expanse of the ocean floor. The kingdom was very prosperous and very well-populated, its citizens were hardworking and respectful people, and there were rarely any issues between the people. Even though the Atlantean kingdom is nonviolent and very peaceful, they had the largest army out of all the pantheons and they had the most advanced technology out of any of the pantheons. The Atlantean deities themselves lived together with their wives and children in a large and elegant palace in the middle of their kingdom, where they were able to watch over their people and watch over the other Gods and their actions through magic and technology.

Today, the Atlantean deities, their wives, and children were preparing to leave for the Palace of Creation for the annual Deities Meeting. They were dressed in comfortable, yet beautiful regal clothes underneath the navy blue cloaks they wore with the hoods up.

Once all the Atlanteans were ready to leave, a bright light enveloped them all and they found themselves standing in the throne room of the Palace of Creation. The Palace of Creation was located deep in space and was hidden from all human technology and sight. You had to be a God in order to see it.

The Lords of Chaos and Order sat upon their thrones, looking like regal kings. The Lord of Chaos was a muscular tanned young man in his early 20s with long black hair and dark blue eyes. The Lord of Order was similar to the Lord of Chaos, but he was pale with long red hair and bright green eyes. The both of them wore black business suits with ties as they looked over all the gods that had gathered in the throne room already.

The Atlanteans stood in a corner of the room, murmuring to each other about what to expect when the meeting started in their native language quietly while looking at the Egyptians, the Greeks, and the others. Meanwhile, the other Gods who had arrived were wondering who the newcomers were.

When all of the other Gods finally arrived, large tables appeared in the throne room with cards that designated where each pantheon would sit. Quickly and quietly, they all made their ways to their respective tables as the Lords of Chaos and Order started the meeting.

“Welcome to the annual Deities Meeting, friends old and new.”, the Lord of Chaos greeted, his deep voice loud and clear in the silent room. “Before we begin this meeting, my brother and I would like you all to meet the Atlantean pantheon.”

Everyone turned to look at the newcomers, who sat the closest to the Lords. 5 of the newcomers stood up and removed their hoods and cloaks, creating widened eyes and gasps from all around the room. There were 2 males and 3 females in the group of 5 and they all looked like young teenagers. 2 of the females had long silver hair that were put up in elegant hairstyles, dainty pale skin, and startling purple eyes while the other one had the same skin and hair, but ruby red eyes. The males had short silver hair, slightly tanned skin, and dark grey eyes. But the older male gave off a dangerous sense of power and they all knew without a doubt that all the Atlanteans were extremely powerful and dangerous to mess with.

“I am Akeryon, one of the 5 rulers of Atlantia. Next to me is my wife, Linais. Behind her are our children: our eldest, Elyza, our second child, Erons, and our youngest, Tyara.” the older male introduced, gesturing to who was who. His daughters looked around the room disdainfully, cold sneers gracing their faces. Once their introductions were done, they sat down and 4 of the Atlanteans stood up. Like the ones before them, they removed their cloaks and hood before they began their introductions. This time, it was just one male and the rest of them were females.

“I am Aslis, another ruler of Atlantia. Next to me is my beautiful wife, Reia, and our daughters, Crystina and Wyrea.” the male introduced, also gesturing to who was who. Aslis had short dark brown hair and mesmerizing sky blue eyes, his skin was tanned and like Akeryon, he also gave off a strong sense of power. His wife had long auburn hair that was put up in an elegant bun with chocolate brown eyes, her skin was slightly tanned and her posture gave off an aura that she was a regal being. Their daughters had long dark brown hair in ponytails and their mother’s skin and posture. They sat down once their introductions were over and the next group of 5 stood up.

There were 2 females this time and 3 males; the females had the same light golden amber eyes, fair skin and regal stature with long light brown hair in beautiful braids while the males all shared the same dark tanned skin with short black hair and stormy gray eyes. The older male looked around the room with curious, yet steely eyes as he began his introductions “I am Myker, the third ruler of Atlantia. Standing here with me today is my gorgeous wife, Lyreia, and our children: Nymphia, Myes and Ophre.”

Without another word or look, they sat back down and 6 of them stood up. There 3 males and 3 females; one of the females and two of the males had tanned skin and long red hair with aqua blue eyes while the rest had long black hair, golden eyes, and pale skin. Without a moment further, the oldest male did their introductions - “I am Pyrt, the fourth ruler of Atlantia. With me today is my family - my wife, Ayria and our children: Mylrea, Yrana, Jyrte, and Gyis.”

Once their introductions were over, the last of the Atlanteans stood up. There 4 of them; 1 male and 3 females. The male and one of the females shared the same long blonde hair and hazel brown eyes with fairly tanned skin while the others had dark tanned skin, long black hair, and turquoise eyes. Immediately, the male started their introductions “I am Nemris and this is my family; my wife, Vyra and our children, Cyra and Wyia.”

And with that, the Atlantean made themselves known to the other Gods for the first time in history.
