Reactions from both sides...

The Ivory Tower, Prison Area...

I'm in front of one of the many cells, and in this cell, an Amazon was looking at me as if she wanted to rip my head off.

"Comfortable?"

*Stare*

"I will take that as a yes."

*Stare*

Since I captured her, she hasn't spoken a word, not even a threat.

{Hmm, I was hoping for a conversation, but I guess I will just take what I want and leave}

"Very well, sit still."

*Stare Intensefy*

I used my [soul sight] to see inside her soul.

{Ah, there you are...}

Inside her soul, a line of ancient runes where floating around.

{Hmm?, not only in her soul but also her brain?}

A different type of rune was found around the brain.

{This..., hey, Ivory, can you decipher this runes?}

{Hmm, the first one was on the brain, and the second one was on her soul...ah, I see}

"Good talk"

I leave the prison with a very confused Amazon.

Atlantis, Throne Room...

In a luxurious chamber, five people were having a discussion.

"My Queen, he made a fool of me in front of the Amazons and in front of that surface dweller!" (Orm)

A 5' 11ft male with pale skin, dark short hair, and blue eyes was screaming and pointing at the person behind him.

"Is that true, Vulko?" (Atlanna)

On the throne, a 6' 3 ft woman with pale skin, long blonde, almost white hair, and sky blue eyes was sitting there calmly.

The person that both were speaking was a 5' 8 ft male with pale skin, dark hair on the sides, a big, shiny bald head on top of his head, and brown eyes.

He was kneeling on the floor.

"Indeed, my Queen, I did that, but it was all for the benefit of Atlantis" (Vulko)

"Lies!"(Orm)

"Rowa, if my memory isn't wrong, the suits recorded the event, isn't it?" (Atlanna)

The Queen calmly asked a person on her left side.

"That is correct, my queen" (Rowa)

The person who responded was a 5'3 woman; she had pale skin, short black hair, and blue eyes. The most important trait was her lab coat, and on it, a plaque could be read: [Cheif of the Science Department].

"Let's see it(Atlanna)

"At once"(Rowa)

As soon as the Queen said that, she manipulated a bracelet in her right hand, and from it, a big bubble emerged.

The bubble traveled to the middle of the room, and from there, a video could be seen.

The video was from the perspective of Vulko.

["Very well, a messenger will be coming in three moons time(Vulko)

"I will be waiting."

"Then goodbye"(Vulko)]

After finishing the recording, the bubble burst, leaving silence in the throne room.

"Orm, is this what happened?" (Atlanna)

"Yes, my Queen, now you see the disrespect that Vulko shows..." (Orm)

"Stop, Rodunn, what do you think?" (Atlanna)

The Queen interrupted Prince Orm only to take advice from her military captain.

"I think that according to the circumstances, Vulko was right to make that decision; Prince Orm lost his temper, and if that situation escalates, we don't know what will happen." (Rodunn)

This time a stoic 6'2 ft man spoke. He was on the right side of the Queen; he had pale skin, brown short hair, and grey eyes.

He was wearing full body armor, signaling his position.

"You..."(Orm)

*Crack*

Knuckles can be heard cracking intensely.

"Orm, leave, cool off; when you calm down, we will talk again" (Atlanna)

The whole room was extremely silent.

*Aggh*

"Yes, Queen.." (Orm)

He didn't wait anymore; he turned around and left.

*Thud*

*Sigh*

"Vulko, send the envoys in three moons time as you promised; Rowa, as soon as he enters, try to made countermeasures; and Rodunn, prepare your men for battle just in case" (Atlanna)

""Yes, my queen."""

The three of them bowed, turned around, and left the throne room.

Now alone in the throne room, the calmed Queen put on a lonely face, and in whispers, she called a name...

"Arthur, my son, how are you doing?" (Atlanna)

At the same time, on Themyscira...

*Clink* *Clink*

An ancient vessel was slowly approaching the port of Themyscira.

"Hmm, a signal of emergency?" (Amazon Coast Guard)

"Wait, what are we waiting for? Call the Chief Atla. Hurry!" (Amazon Coast Guard)

"I'm on it!" (Amazon Costal Guard)

Out of the three coastal guards that were closer to the sea, one of them ran to a building inside the city; this building was located just a couple of meters from the port.

Soon, many Amazons could hear the signal...

*Clink*

*Clink*

*Thud* *Thud* *Thud*

And many more Amazons were ready to receive their sisters or engage an enemy.

*Clink*

The signal stopped, and they could now see their sisters, all of them in silence.

Something was wrong...

A 5'9 ft woman reached the port; she had white tan skin, blue eyes, and long orange hair.

"Inspect the vessel; I want a full report." (Chief Atla)

"Yes!"(Amazon)

"You three...(Chief Atla)

She pointed at three Costal Guards.

"Yes"x3

"With me(Chief Atla)

"Yes!"x3

They went on board the vessel, and the first thing they noticed was the somber atmosphere and the captain's quarters.

{A battle took place here...}

"Spread out and find out what happened (Chief Atla).

"Yes"x3

They did as she told them; the three of them spread into the vessel; one of them went below deck, another went behind, and the last one went in front.

Meanwhile, Chief Atla went to look for the captain or second in command.

"Chief!"(Amazon)

The one below deck suddenly screamed for her.

Quickly, Atla went to look, and what she saw froze her into place.

"What happened here?(Chief Atla)

She could not believe what she was seeing.

Below the deck, rows and rows of white blankets covered in blood were there.

They know full well what this means, but the implications where not that good.

Themyscira Throne Room...

After a couple of minutes, the news reached the Royal Palace, and by then, what happened was circulating throughout the whole island.

In the throne room, the Queen, her daughter, the Amazon General, the Head Scientist, and the Royal Sorcerer were there, along with two Amazons that survived the encounter.

"What happened, Laila? (Queen Hippolyta)

Sitting on the royal throne, a 6'1 ft woman with tan skin, blue-green eyes, naturally long, flowing blonde hair, and an athletic and muscular physique questions the survivor.

"We sail at the orders of Captain Faruka, then when we..." (Laila)

The survivor, Amazon, started to recount the events that transpired that afternoon.

"Before he left, he gave us an orb, and he told us that in it, the hole event was recorded." (Laila)

"...."

A silence engulfed the throne room, but soon the queen spoke.

"Before drawing conclusions, let us see this recording (Hippolyta).

The Queen directed her gaze at the Royal Sorcerer, a 5'6" woman with white skin, brown eyes, and brown short hair.

This woman, unlike the regular Amazons, who wore armor and had an athletic build, was wearing a robe with a staff on her left side and had a more lean physique.

"At once, Queen(Magala)

From her robes, an orb appeared.

"It is safe?" (Phillipus)

This time a 6'1 woman spoke; she had dark skin, brown honey eyes, and black long hair.

This woman was on the left side of the queen, adorning a different armor than the rest; she had the right to speak without permission because she was the General of the Amazon Military and the protector of the queen.

"Yes, General Phillipus, it is safe. As soon as I receive this orb, I will test it to ensure the safety of everyone here." (Magala)

The general didn't respond; she just kept staring at the orb, just in case something went wrong.

"Well then, proceed (Hippolyta)

The queen spoke, alleviating the tension in the room.

"Yes"(Magala)

The sorcerer put magic into the orb, and as soon as she did that, the orb began to project in front of her.

The video was indeed everything that happened a couple of hours ago.

["That is a record orb; I recorded everything that transpired here. I will take your leader as a hostage; next time, bring a proper leader."

He turned around and left, the distortion closed.]

"..."

Another round of silence engulfed the throne room, but this time many emotions were clearly seen on each other's faces.

"That fool"(Phillipus)

The first one to break the silence was the general.

"Those were some interesting weapons." (Alpha)

The second one to break the silence was the head scientist. She was a 5'5 ft woman with tan skin, blue eyes, and long blonde hair. She was on the lean side as well, and unlike the general and sorcerer, she was wearing a white toga with a golden belt and sandals.

"Magic turn into weaponry(Magala)

The Royal Sorcerer responded to the Head Scientist.

"Oh, yes, that's obvious, but the timing and precision are what intrigued me." (Alpha)

"Stop both of you!" (Phillipus)

"Yes, sorry, Queen"x2

Being scolded by the general, both apologize to the queen and quiet down.

*Sigh*

"What do you think, Phillipus?" (Hippolyta)

The queen looked at her left side.

"We need to treat this carefully; we already have antagonized with this person, so we need to think well about what our next move will be. One thing is sure: we will recover our sister, and she will answer for her crimes." (Phillipus)

Like that, the Amazons and Atlanteans were preparing to deal with this new threat.
