Way Down Below the Ocean....
Caitria of Atlantis, RISE!

Mera of Atlantis, RISE!

Cerdian of Atlantis, RISE!

Ataam of Atlantis, RISE!

Way beneath the surface of the Atlantic Ocean in the underwater kingdom of Atlantis the dead were rising. Lids were pushed off of the sarcophagi in the royal crypt and in a small cave some distance from the city.

First there was watery blackness. Water churned inside and a moment later the lid of the sarcophagus blew off and smashed into a wall.

The decaying corpse looked around and saw nothing but darkness. The water churned again and the doors to the
crypt were pushed open and light filtered in.

Memories came in like the tide. Atlantis. Her father. Tyler. Ty. "My love," she thought as her mind reached out for him.

Mera sat up next to her and mother and daughter climbed out. A shadowy figure offered them black rings. They accepted them and put them on their fingers.

	"Arthur," Black Lantern Mera said as the ring slid on her finger. "He must join us." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cerdian's eye opens, and he does not question why his other eye is missing. He opens his mind to the darkness and searches for...yes. There. "Others must join us as well. Those we left behind must join us in death. It is the only way the world will ever know peace." Cerdian says, rising from his coffin. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ruth's startled out of what she was doing. Ty? But he seems to not be in the Tower anymore. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	In a cave not too far from Atlantis, the dirt off of Ataam's shallow grave was pushed away, revealing his rotting corpse. At first, he saw only darkness. Then, a shadowy figure offered him a ring and he accepted it and placed it on his finger. A grin crossed his face. If he couldn't be king...than nobody could. Ataam began to make his way to Atlantis.

	General Nakesh ordered his troops to reform and attack. He said a silent prayer to Poseidon and Ares for victory. Queen Mera, Princess Caitria, Cerdian and the impostor Ataam had risen from the Royal Crypt and were attacking Atlantis. "Stand your ground!" he yelled to his troops. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Embrace death and accept the peace it brings," Cait said as she drove hard water spikes into two soldiers. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Though he would never work with these people when he was alive, Attam didn't care about that right now. He grabbed one of the spears of the fallen soldiers, charging forward. "Give me...your hearts." He said, running one of them through. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I'll save you, Cait! Ty calls. It takes a supreme act of focus, but a yellow shield appears over Atlantis as Ty moves to fight the legions of... things. Right up until he sees who is at their lead... and the shield begins to flicker. His hands shake worse. Cait? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cerdian concentrates, drawing out sigils in the ocean floor as the others attack. He calls out to the darkness, then drives his fist into the sigils and the ground shakes around the Atlantean soldiers. Within moments, the Atlantean army is besieged by zombified, skeletal... sharks. Hundreds of them. "You were right after all, Princess Little Fish." Cerdian sneers. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	General Joette rushed forward to fight Ataam. She wanted to run a spear through him when he first step foot in Poseidonis and now she had her chance. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Arthur was outside and summoned as many creatures as he could to battle the skeletal sharks and whales. Spear in hand he went to do battle. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Dolphin had a bad feeling about this. One hand held to Garth, the other held onto her sword. "No matter what happens," she turned to Garth. "I love you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Come back to me, Dolphin. I can't lose you, too." he says, kissing her quickly. Then he vanishes to join the other mages in counteracting the dark magic out there. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dolphin fought her way through Black Lanterns when she noticed one in the crowd that tugged at her heart. "..Cerdian." Her son, standing not to far from her. "GARTH!" She called out to her husband, her sword in front of her, shaking. (LOVE) (FEAR) (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Koryak fought his way through the Atlantean troops. His swords struck true and went through armor like a fish through water. The soldiers fell before him and then rose behind him, each bearing a black ring. (Reply to this)
