Atlantis and the 13 Greek Gods

RUIN

At one of the restaurant tents in the ruin gathered the emissary and his men while enjoying the food which they are unfamiliar of.

"My lord, how do we proceed with the plans?" One of the officer beside the emissary asked in a whisper.

"I have expected a bit of resistance from the young lord but I was mistaken, Originally I was hoping to toy with him for a bit but I lost interest. I will let the king decide from now onwards, besides I have already receive some of my share from the king and from this foolish young lord. If this will continue, not only I will have the favor of the Kind, but also reap huge amounts of gain from this venture alone." The emissary was joyous after thinking of the rewards he would get after a successful job.

"Sire, you are invited on a dinner by the young lord. How do I reply?" A guard outside spoke while the emissary was resting after their walk around the ruin.

"Fine, accept the invitation."

At night during the dinner, the emissary together other members of the military and the department heads was having a luxurious dinner. The emissary was beside the young lord as the main guest and was personally hosted by Zion himself.

"Your honor, this my be impolite of me but I have a little request." Zion spoke in a low voice enough for the only two of them to hear while the others busy with having conversations in their own.

"If I can provide I will, but I must remind you I am a very busy man." The Emissary spoke in a serious face after hearing Zion, he was thinking of milking him again after this request.

"Ahahahaha...I will compensate you wholeheartedly with all I can. It is but a simple request...If you can convince the king that he could allow me and trade with the neutral cities, I would give you 10 percent of the total sales and 40 percent to the king. All you need to do is convince the king, and I will do the rest."

"Ohohohoho...That is a very interesting proposal, I would be very happy to accept the task. Consider it done." The emissary though hated the demeanor of Zion was joyful of the proposal. He would just convinced an open trade with him benefitting as well.

The banquet ended with both parties satisfied.

At the break of dawn, a caravan of goods and men slowly exited the ruin led by the emissary and his men even escorted by soldiers of the Ruin. A team of 10 MKP I was tasked to guard the tribute to Banawe Kingdom from the ruin to the edge of Dark Forest as beast attacks occur from time to time included are good to start a sample trade with the neutral cities at the periphery of dark forest. Even though the emissary still did not talked with the king of Banawe, he assured Zion that the deal would definitely go through and upon his assurance, Zion did not hesitate to send his representative to have a talk with the neighboring cities and send sample goods for trade.

On the other side of the forest, Luxlor kingdom are also starting to hear some news of the ruin, including Zion and the sultans subjugation. They labeled it as nothing but a small matter, as they did not believe that it would be a great deal in the future. But others are skeptical.

Snow Fort

"My Lord, the capital would not respond to what we have reported instead, but will send reinforcement and additional resources in due time." The soldier reported to a man who was now the ruler of Snow Fort. A young adult man age 40 with a bright complexion.

"This forsaken land is but a nuance but we need to guard it properly for it will be an important and only viable passage into our kingdom." The Military Ruler said in low voice. Melson Von Ruchy Son of the duke who was favored by the king of Luxlor who was also his younger brother.

The mountain surrounding the The dark forest not only was a natural wall protecting the forest but also a natural barrier which tightens the passage from Banawe kingdom to Luxlor and vice versa. Though they can go around north but it would be a long journey and they would pass through the borders of Chiscast Empire which they have a sour relationship, also the southern route would be easier but more longer than the northern route that would take a huge amount of resources. That is why the small passage from the neutral cities between dark forest and Banawe kingdom up to the Snow Fort would be the most viable route.

The relationship of Banawe Kingdom, Luxlor and Chiscast empire is somewhat of give and take. Though they don't agree with some instances and occasionally engage in small skirmishes, they also don't engage on huge war and conflict. It is but a very small amount of mutual understanding that grip the three super powers to engage in a full blown war.

Lake Holon

Under the deep blue water of Holon a variety of drones and submarines was cooperating together to build the foundation of which will support the city above. Massive Robotic legs which are movable and could adjust to movements are put in place to support the floating city. The whole city area would take around 1/8th of the total lake area which will be situated around the center.

There will be a total of 12 floating city islands. at the center would be the five large island named after the 5 main Greek Gods Zeus, Poseidon, Demeter, Hera, and Hestia, while the remaining islands will be smaller and medium in size but would still be important part of the whole city. Which would be named Hermes, Ares, Hephaestus, Apollo, Artemis, Athena, Aphrodite. And lastly there will be a special structure underwater that would be named Hades. It would cater underwater parks and facilities, and doubles as resources receiving area as the surface of the lake will be off limits to crafts except for a few that the city would allow. The city can be accessed by land through a few bridges, water both surface and underwater, and lastly Air which is restricted aside from city crafts and special circumstances.

From afar Zion was observing the operation, it was the area in which the mysterious old man was seen.

"Azraelle, transfer some workforce into the roads going west and to the city. I want the project to be at least visible on the surface before we finalized deals from the neutral cities." {As you wish sire}
