Now I'm sure you've heard of Atlantis, am I right? A beautiful city that went very very badly. Frankly, you don't know the half of it!

Now I'm also sure you've heard of mermaids, kelphies, and all those other underwater creatures of the deep. Did you know that they were once apart of this lovely city? I'm surprised you haven't. They change to those forms so that they could serve as gaurdians of their sunken eutopia. But that isn't the point of this story, so let's move on.

Well, you see the city was once, as legend states, a beautiful bontiful paradise. It was a center of learning and also the center of magic. No not the magic you see on TV, where it's more of a fake showbuinessy kind of the thing. Yes, magic is real though most people don't really know it. And Atlantis was the only place where you could find control over it. In fact, it was the place where you would gain a power over an element. But that was only for those who worthy of it. Atlantis itself was filled with magic and it a certain room known only to a very select number of people knew where it was. There if you were found to be worthy of having dominance over an element, the magic in that room would form around you and give you the power over it.

One day, however, a man by the name of Hetrah came to the city gain power. However he was not seen worthy of it. He became so angry that he plotted and schemed for many years to try and find way to gain power. Finally, he found out. What he did, no is said to know, but he gained absolute power. In an effort to save the world from this evil that had been unleashed, the citizens sacrificed themselves and their city. They sealed Hetrah away in Atlantis and sent the city into the depths.


The year is now 2008.

"The city of Atlantis is rising out of the depths! This can't be happening? No!" Delihi could feel it. She tried to force it to stay. She couldn't let the city ever rise again, otherwise who knew what would happen? He could get free. What was she going to do? She needed help, but who?

Finding that she had no other choice, she dived down into the depths of the sea...




Okay so basically the city of Atlantis is rising again, which means good old Hetrah is unsealed and the world is in peril and all that. I'm sorry for the cliche, but it really cannot be helped.

Delihi is actually one of the original inhabitants of Atlantis. She is the only living person left who knows all the secrets of this ancient city. When Hetrah comes back though, she soon realizes she is completely outmatched. So she takes the magic of Atlantis and will give it to certain people to give them the power to help her save the world.

Well now everyone else here is basically human. It'll be pretty hard for anyone not to notice the earth shaking and the rising of a huge island farther off the American coast.




Effects of Atlantian Magic

Fast Healing

Power over an element: (this includes: fire, water, air, eath, metal, nature, light, darkness) You can try to get in on other ones, but you'll need a good arguement...

A possible immortality: You can live for an extremely long time. This is why Delihi is still living and never aging for all this time.

Usually when you recieved the power from the room, you would be in the room and stay there for one day and one night. In certain instances that were number to about five in the last 150,000 years there was said to have been ways that when the power of Atlantis entered people who were not in it, and they were teleported to a specific location.

Enraged, he researched ways to get power the hard way. He succeeded. He took over the city of Atlantis so he could take control of its power until a few brave souls sealed him in one of the lower rooms away from the city's core.
