The Hidden Sea

Introduction

Long, long ago, deep within the blackened sea, there was a hidden society beyond no ones' comprehension. The golden walls cracked and dirty, but beyond the rusted gates was the illusive city known as Atlantis. With fish swimming and the radiant colors, there was always something abound to happen.

  In the Palace of The Sea, the two happy gods, Zeus and Hera had two young boys named Poseidon and Ares were born. The whole kingdom rejoiced for the birth of their twins, soon to be crowned the future princes of the underwater kingdom. The two brothers were raised together, hand in hand with their parents for their time to eventually rule over the kingdom. They were inseparable, but something was off, Ares wanted more power. He needed a plan, one to have his dark rule over the kingdom. The King and Queen always thought Poseidon would be a better king, which made Ares even more jealous.   He wanted to ruin Poseidon's life, but how? . He became a corrupt and selfish child, with jealousy always in his eyes. All he needed to become king was a fair maiden that he could rule with.

On one sunny summer morning, the two boys decided to go to the enchanted lake near the castle on the sea shore. There, they met a fair maiden named Anastasia sitting on a blue pedestal. Silky golden hair and icy blue eyes. The perfect bride for a prince. They both loved her so but only one could win the maiden's heart. Ever since that day, Ares and Poseidon visited Anastasia to one day she would become their lovely bride. Alas, Poseidon had won over the maiden's heart. This marriage made Poseidon the king of Atlantis, lunging Ares into a pit of despair and jealousy, and thrown off the rein to become the potential king of Atlantis. Ares knew the spot of royalty was made for him, but it was ripped away from him as soon it was in his hands. Filled with anger, he decided to take away the thing blocking him from his throne.

 Ares, trying to drag the kingdom down with him, attempted to burn down the fair maiden's home. Before going through with his plans, he was caught by the royal caretaker. The king banished him to a realm filled with despair and suffering, Vasileio Fotia, otherwise known as the Fire Realm. By there, Ares took rule of the fire pit as his own kingdom, a kingdom of fire and misery.

  A year later, a beautiful baby boy was born. Hair as golden as the sunrise and eyes as greenish blue eyes just struck with a passion. His name is Okeanos, the Greek name for ocean. In honor of his name, the Mother and Father gave Okeanos a pendant, a seashell, with a picture of his parents inside. The whole kingdom rejoiced in the new baby's birth. The whole family was filled with happiness thanks to the new kin. But Ares was furious. He grew angrier and angrier by the second. His whole reputation vanished, and his love life destroyed. 

   One dark night, on the blessed child's 2 month anniversary, the Dark Prince had found a way out of his realm, a loophole in the tie between worlds, had found the precious child asleep in his cradle. He looked upon the kin, remembering the suffering this child represents. He took Okeanos waking him up, startling him, making him cry, and dragged him to the Fire Realm. Poseidon and Anastasia look upon the damaged cradle and grieved over Okeanos' disappearance. The only thing left of the baby was his pendant. In search of his son, Poseidon sends out a gigantic wave, also known as a tsunami in hope of his son seeing it and returning.

Ares returns back to the Fire Realm with Okeanos dragging behind him. He walks towards a deep tunnel underground and throws Okeanos weak and scared into the cage. There, he raised the boy until he could be put in chains. Fourteen years go by, the boy is still in his chains hoping for someone to aid him.
