A whiff of divinity...

Silence...

The royal chamber was dead silent. Vulko, Atlanna, Rowa, and the other Atlanteans in the room were questioning what they were seeing right now.

"Is this video true, mister Sephiroth?" (Vulko)

Vulko asked what everyone was thinking.

"Why would I lie? I came here in the first place to make a deal with all of you but you..."

The man looked at the video for a second.

"You all set me a trap."

(Now, how are they going to respond to that?)

"Lies!!!" (Prince Orm)

Prince Orm stood up from his seat and declared loudly.

"Mother, this is a ruse made by him to take the island and everything on it by himself; don't believe him; what we should do is kill him and recover our land!" (Prince Orm)

The prince declared loudly, but with every sentence that he made, his voice was cracking a little bit every time.

Everyone was dumbfounded; everyone could see desperation on the prince's face and voice.

*Bam*

The trident that was on the right hand of the Queen slammed hard on the floor; this brought the prince to his knees, silencing him.

"Stop...talking...Orm(Queen Atlanna)

That was the only thing that the Queen said to him, and then she stood up from her throne.

"On behalf of Atlantis, I, Queen Atlanna, offer an apology for the actions that some of my people took against you." (Queen Atlanna)

Finishing saying that she made a 90° bow.

*Gasp*

"Queen!"(Vulko)

Everyone was even more dumbfounded; the Queen actually apologized this earnestly; it was unheard of.

(Clever woman, if I push too hard, it will be counterproductive, so...)

"A new deal will be made."

"And I will accept it if it doesn't endanger my people (Queen Atlanna)

"Very well, if you excuse me..."

The man turned around and left the royal chamber as if it were his home.

When he was no longer visible, the Queen finally sat on her throne.

"Rowa, call the doctors; Dom, tell the troops to not cause any trouble to our guest and Vulko." (Queen Atlanna)

The Queen looked at Vulko; her face was rigid, clearly angry, but not with the guest.

"Yes Queen"(Vulko)

"Escort Orm into his room; he is under house arrest until we decide what his punishment will be." (Queen Atlanna)

"At once!" (Vulko)

*********************

Outside the royal palace...

(Ha, ha, ha, thanks to that spoiled prince, I gained an upper hand in our deal.)

[Master, what do I do with the prisoners?]

(Full mental reading and studying afterwards clean their memory.)

[Yes master]

(Good, by the way, Ivory, how long does Hogwart's project take to complete?)

[Two years]

(Hmm, very well. Keep me informed.)

Isaac was walking on the streets of Atlantis, free, as the fish that were swimming around him and the few guards that were tagging along were keeping their distance.

He was walking towards a colossal building that had a little ancient vibe and had no futuristic technology on the outside whatsoever.

"Hey, that's that place, isn't it?" (Guard)

"Yeah, should we report this?" (Guard)

"Yes, go; we will be staying to keep watch.(Guard)

The building in question looked like a temple; it had white statues depicting a man with scale armor and a beautiful trident on top of a whale on the outside.

The more he walked inside the temple, the statues changed into a man with beautiful ancient armor along with the same Trident, but this statue looked more divine than the ones outside.

(Hmm, I guess the first ones were the kings of Atlantis that they had over the centuries, but these ones...this touch of divinity only means one thing.)

As Isaac was admiring the statues, a man dressed in some beautiful robes came from the left side.

"Welcome visitor, are you here to pay your respect to our God?" (Dardan)

Turning around, Isaac took a closer look at the man. He was 5'9ft tall with white skin and blue eyes. The robes were green and white in color with beautiful jewels adorning them, and he had some kind of helmet. The base and horns were made out of gold, and the top was made out of some unknown metal, and it had a red gem in the middle of it.

"If I'm not mistaken, Priest, this is Poseidon, isn't it?"

"That's correct, dear visitor. It was thanks to him that our city was saved, and it is thanks to him that the city is prospering to this day, even when those non-believers don't recognize him as our God." (Dardan)

"I see"

(Incredible I can still sense divinity in those statues, even though he left this plane so many years ago)

Isaac made a cordial bow to the statues and the priest, and he turned around and left.

When he was on the streets again, Vulko, along with many guards, were waiting for him.

"Mister Sephiroth, everything is ready for the negotiations." (Vulko)

"Got it; lead the way."

They both acted as if the little scene before never happened.

This time Isaac was brought into a cozy little room. In this room, the Queen was sitting on the right side of a table that was in the middle of the room, and her general Rodunn was behind her.

"Mister Sephiroth, please, take a seat(Queen Atlanna)

She spoke with care in her voice, maybe trying to not displease him.

"Thank you"

Isaac took a seat opposite her.

"Mister Vulko will take notes on everything that we agree upon in this deal; is that alright with you?" (Queen Atlanna)

"Yes"

"Good, well, now let's begin..."

*************************

Meanwhile, in Themyscira...

On the docks of the island of Themyscira, a ship was ready to depart.

"Everything is ready, my queen"(Zasa)

On it, a part of the elite soldiers of the island, along with the Amazon Comandress Zasa, were departing for the island, where the person known as Sephiroth captured one of their own.

"Remember, do not antagonize that person nor disrespect him, understood?" (Queen Hippolyta)

"Yes, my queen, we will accomplish our mission without any interference, isn't that right, sisters?" (Zasa)

The comandress asked her crew, to which they replied,.

"Yes, comandress!" (Amazon Crew)

"Good, go forth, sisters, and may Hera protect you." (Queen Hippolyta)
