The Queen of Atlantis

Sister of the Sea

Queen Winona was standing at the edge of her kingdom.
" Your majesty, what is happening? '' said Briseis, as Gurth and Ascanius were right behind her.
The sea, the waves and the tides, were all raging.
" My sister is coming, " said Winona with a smile.
At the Queen's words, the sea calmed down, and out from the sea; she came; Sulis, who gently arose from the waters.
Sulis' beauty left them all speechless; her beauty was like the sea itself; calm, vast and destructive.
" Hello, sister " said Sulis with her marine smile.
Winona knew better than to let her guard down around her sister.
Sulis was the older of the two, and there was a good reason as to why Sulis was not Queen.
" What do you want, sister? "
" A proper greeting "
" You won't get one "
Sulis giggled, which sounded like the waves hitting a beach.
Winona asked her question again;
" What do you want? "
" My kingdom "
" Father made me Queen "
A look of anger flashed on Sulis' face.
" Father made a mistake "
" Oh " said Winona with a smile; " how so? "
" For you are not the rightful Queen, Atlantis belongs to me "
" And yet, here I stand; the Queen of Atlantis "
Sulis showed a look of surprise.
" You have changed... you never spoke to me like that "
Winona meditated for a moment, she then said;
" I have changed, along with my kingdom and people. It is thanks to them that I have gained confidence; a confidence which will oppose you, dear sister "
Sulis now looked on, as Winona's advisors, generals, and even Tiamat with her two children, all came to stand side-by-side with the Queen.
Sulis also noticed the loyal looks of Briseis, Gurth and Ascanius.
Sulis smiled, she then said;
" Sister, I have not been idle. For these many years, while you were Queen, I was a hunter; looking for my monster; the bane of you kingdom... and, at long last, I have found it; Atlantis' destruction "
The waters behind Sulis opened, and out came the Lovecraft version of Dagon.
The queer creature was more massive than Calibos in his Kraken form, Dagon was more fearsome than Tiamat, Scylla and Charybdis put together. And Dagon truly did look like he could make good on what Sulis promised; bringing Atlantis back to the depth of the sea.
A horrified look befell the poor Queen, fear consumed her heart, but not for herself; but for her people and kingdom.
The Queen now looked on, as her family all rushed towards the bane of Atlantis.
Calibos transformed, Polydora rode on top of his head.
Gurth, Ascanius and even Briseis were all three wrestling with the many tentacles of Dagon.
Tiamat, Scylla and Charybdis had all three transformed as well, and they could be seen wrestling with the upper body of Dagon.
The battle was breathless to behold, Surama and Thoth did their best to defend Atlantis with a magical shield, so that no wayward attack might cause any damage.
The Queen's anxiety had now vanished, for her friends had given her hope, she knew then; that Atlantis would not fall.
