The Crowned Truth (Closed; Admin, Classic, and Chaotic)

Regina was with Chloe, a rather awesome pirate, whom she had paid to join her on her little Atlantis journey. They had arrived and Regina hugged against Chloe. "We did it! Captain we did! We found it! If I was correct there should we a special artifact that one is able to use to become royalty! Oh Dearie! If I become Queen you shall be my Council Woman! And we will rule this Kingdom once again!" She pulled out her many adornments and put them on. She looked like the Queen now, at least with all this on her Granpaps said she did.

She swam around and made a huge grin at Chloe. "I still can't believe we did it! I am so happy of my findings! I knew talking to those old people and reading all the books were worth it! Hahahah and everyone made fun of me for it!" She could barely believe it and cupped her hands to her chest.

"He'll be so happy...."

Chloe, not really enjoying being hugged by Regina, nodded.

"Well, Our Lady Regi, I think it's high time I get my tail outta here. Back to my ship." She crossed her arms and watched Regina float around in excitement. She went over to a broken column and sat on it, looking out over the abandoned city.

"But not before ye pay me."

Atlantis sits lonely, Valentinus is away.

She nodded and smiled. "Oh yes right, payment for your services." She pulled out A very large bag of money and handed it off to Ms. Chloe.

Atlantis is somewhat less lonely, and a few sea goblins alert their master that there are invaders.

Valentinus will arrive in about a half hour in game, till then, shall I be Atlantis?

Chloe peeked in the bag, doing a quick calculation, nodding in satisfaction, and closed the bag, putting it in her coat pocket.

"Thank ye, I find that prompt payment is always a sign of a repeat job." She grinned and took off her hat, bowing deep.

"Our Lady Regi, maybe the tides'll have our paths cross again." Chloe straightened her self out again and started swimming up to her ship. Completely unaware that there were sea goblins in the city.

She nodded. "Alright. I may need you at some point, and if I do I'll call you up." She sat on one of the many fallen pillers anf looked out to her soon to be new kingdom.

Creatures of the deep scurry, drift, and swim all around the abandoned streets, there are almost a five hundred buildings, but only five are important enough to explore.

The Castle, The Library, The Armory, Town Hall, and The Planetarium.

Regina began lurking around the city. Everything was more beautiful than she ever thought.

Chloe, about half way to the surface, got a funny feeling up her spine. Something wasn't right. Maybe it was the fact that she was leaving the poor girl defenseless in a city full of God-knows-what. She looked down at the ruins. Even from this far up you could hardly see all of it. She scratched her head and sighed.

"Damn smarty is turnin' me soft.." Chloe began to leisurely make her way back down, taking note of the street structures as she did.

Psssst Regina, go to one of those places I listed.

Since Regina loved ready she decided to go to the library. Her granpaps taught her the basics of the language so she could pretty much read it all.

The Library.

It is mostly intact, and seems oddly... lived in. Something may have made its home here, as it doesn't look quite as abandoned as the rest of the city does. There are three floors and a basement to explore.

She throughly looked through the library. It was magical and beautiful. She could sit in here forever and just read.

Chloe took her sweet time following after Regina, and when she caught up to her she just leaned against a doorway and smirked.

"Don't tell me yer getting a high from this 'ere ol' junk?"

There happens to be a picture of the queen of atlantis in the library, okay it was king and queen but she was more noticeable because it almost looked exactly like Regina.

Regina turned and gave a serious glare at Chloe. "And you aren't? I mean look at all of this. Its everything I have lived for! I've been searching since I was a little gill. Now I have and its within my reach. I want to be like this woman." She pointed at the queen. She really did look like her. She was a little more regal looking but she could see why Granpaps said she looked like her. Maybe it was the king at her side or the beautiful dress she wore that made her look madly gorgeous. She wanted to take after her and return the kingdom to its former glory.

Chloe looked at the picture then to Regina. She chuckled and took off her hat, running her fingers through her hair.

"Ya shore ya ain't related to that Queen? I coulda swore up 'n down ya were. Heck, I don't really know anyfin 'bout this ol' place 'cept that my grandfather and grandmother left before the plague happened. Of course, they be my mothers parents. I any got a clue about my dads folks."

Valentinus is almost home.

She shook her head. "No idea. Granpaps never spoke of it so I never really wondered. Just listened to his stories. Chloe, wouldn't you like to see what our families ever did, read, and see? I mean I have. I'm sure our families would love to know of their true home." She stood in front of the painting and posed like the Queen.

"Would Our Lady Regi care to take some books so we can get outta here? This place gives my fins a bad sensation." Chloe's tone almost made the remark sound snarky rather than slightly worried.

She nodded and grabbed the closest 5 books that had history about the kingdom. She walked back toward Chole and nodded that she was ready to go.

Chloe led Regina out of the library and looked around, tilting her hat back a little. She looked left and right then swam upwards.

"I think there was some sort of armory lookin' building over to the East. I'm raidin' it." she grinned down at Regina, hoping she'd decide to follow. That is, she'd follow if she were smart. Better travel in pairs in a city abandoned by a deadly plague.

Regina followed behind her quickly. She didn't want to be left behind.

There is a figure in their path, cloaked in a large brown hooded robe. "Who dares enter my city, and rummage through MY LIBRARY!?" He swims towards them and snarls more. It looks at Regina and goes quiet, backing up slowly.
