The Moonblade and the Atlanteans

The king ordered Leo and Ariana to be taken to his chamber, where he apologized for his harsh treatment. He explained that he had recognized Leo's pendant as the symbol of the Sunblade, a legendary weapon that was once wielded by the founder of Atlantis, King Atlas.

According to the prophecy, the Sunblade would return to Atlantis when the city was in danger, and it would be wielded by a descendant of Atlas, who would save the city from destruction. The king believed that Leo was that descendant, and that he had brought the Sunblade with him.

Leo was shocked and confused. He had no idea what the Sunblade was, or how he was related to King Atlas. He told the king that his pendant was just a family heirloom, and that he had come to Atlantis to find the Moonblade.

The king was intrigued by Leo's story, and asked him to tell him more about his quest. Leo told him everything he knew, including the prophecy of the Moonblade.

The king finally understood that he and Leo were descendants of the same person, King Atlas. He hugged Leo and Ariana, and welcomed them to Atlantis as his family.

He then told them more about the history and culture of Atlantis, and the role of the Moonblade in their society. The Moonblade was another legendary weapon, that was forged by the same ancient civilization that forged the Sunblade.

King Atlas also hidden the Moonblade in a secret location, where only he knew how to find it.

The king told Leo and Ariana that a mysterious people came and stolen the Moonblade from its hiding place, and were planning to use it to destroy Atlantis and conquer the world.

Leo recognized who attacked Atlantis. The Dark Lord's men wanted both the Sunblade and the Moonblade to conquer the world.

The king said that only the Sunblade could stop them, and that Leo was the only one who could wield it. He asked Leo to help him save Atlantis and the world from the Dark Lord.

Leo felt overwhelmed by this responsibility, but he also felt a sense of duty and destiny. He agreed to help the king.

He then invited Leo and Ariana to stay in his palace as his guests, and introduced them to some of the Atlanteans, who were curious about them and their quest. They were friendly and hospitable, and showed them around their city.

Leo learned more about their culture, their art, their music, their religion, their sports, their cuisine, their education, their politics, their laws, their customs, their traditions, their festivals, their celebrations, their history, their myths, their legends, their heroes, their villains, their dreams, their fears...

He felt a connection with them, as if they were his long-lost family. He also felt a connection with Atlantis itself, as if it were his true home.

He wondered if he would ever leave this place.
