Ch 8

August 1, 1942.

It had been a tough time for Zeol, Kandor was attacked many times by Martians who came to freed their brothren and were forced to retreat by Zeol and Aley, Zeol didn't received any massages from the soldiers that went to defeat the Kraken two months ago and United States had increased tariff on thing Kandor sold to US and US navy has been harassing Kandor's cost lines repeatedly for past five months to force the people who migrated to Kandor to come back to United States again.

Zeol had been trying to get to those who he knew to lobby for him in Congress and stop US Navy from harassing them, it was the difficult time for Kandor they had to repeatedly keep an eye on captured Martians and be on lookout for any Martians attacks without showing their powes to frequent navy ship passing through their costs.

The only good news Zeol had received past months is that the military and science department together were finally able collected all data about marine life and which marine life are present in the underwater kingdom and how many underwater kingdoms are there history.

The main Underwater kingdom is Atlantis, Once a vibrant hyper-advanced cosmopolis (before it sank), this underwater world is a mashup of ancient and super futuristic technology that is all shaped by its oceanic location. The realm is inhabited by mostly humanoid-presenting creatures, Atlantis, the mythical city, once existed on land. When it sank into the depths, felled by its own hubris, its people fragmented into seven distinct nations who, whether through magical or scientific means, evolved into separate-looking and acting races, all sons and daughters (and occasionally crustaceans) of the original Atlantis. The current queen of Atlantis is Queen Atlanta

Xebeal is one of the seven kingdoms that split from Atlantis after the mythical city sank. The realm is used as a prison and is located in the Bermuda Triangle so that no one can ever escape. Xebel is Atlantis' closest ally in any war or underwater political situation. The Xebel is ruled by King Nereus.

Fisherman Kingdom, This ornate and extravagant realm is one of the few places that refuses to join any underwater wars. They are humanoid creatures with skins and ears like fishes, they are led by Fisherman king. The Fishermen are a regal, peaceful people, who are always dragged into a war they didn't want for a cause that they don't believe in.

The Brine, Another group of creatures who split from the central Atlantean monarchy after the secretive city fell, these giant crustaceans are incredibly brave and strong. Led by the Brine King, the crab-people of the Brine play a vital part in underwater 7 kingdoms and their territory is deep sea, the location closest to the gate to the air pocket of earth where the trident is kept.

The Trench, Home to some of the scariest creatures that Zeol had ever seen, the Trench takes its name from the monsters who live there. Located at the deepest point of the known ocean, it's a pitch-black expanse inhabited by bloodthirsty creatures who care about one thing: food. The Atlanteans used Trench as a place where banished Atlanteans are sent to die, assuming that none will survive the terrifying inhabitants.

The Missing Kingdom, It's rumored to be the home of King Atlan's long-lost trident, which any true king of the sea must wield. Located in the middle of a vast desert, Established by a group of ex-Atlanteans known only as "the deserters," this forgotten kingdom was founded so long ago that it's desert home was still under the waters of the ocean. This is all what the military got about the Missing Kingdom from the book in Xebel.

The last kingdom, no one knows where it is thus the military didn't get any information regarding it not even its name but it existence was been written in many books. The underwater kingdoms of Atlantis and Themyscira are related through the God's they believed in and their history, Themyscira as written in their books was established on Paradise Island which was created by God Zeus of Greek mythology and Atlantis was established and protected by the God Poseidon of Greek mythology and Zeus brother, who made his son Atlas king and namesake of the island and the ocean that surrounded it.

The Atlanteans were proficient in magic in their peek period before they sunk, now they are left with less deadly magic which was both a good and bad news for Zeol, bad news because Zeol knew Kryptonians had a major weekness against magic and good news because the Atlanteans were left with magic which were not harmful to the Kryptonians but Zeol still had to find a way to remove or cover this major weekness of Kryptonians because if one civilization of Earth can perform magic and had magical history then it was possible that the seventh kingdom which was hidden even from their centuries ahead technology likely had taken the magical heritage of Atlantis this magical civilization.
