Atlantis: The Lost Empire Commander Rourke 소설 & 이야기

The ache to feel that connection again, to feel him, followed her everywhere. But unlike the mark sting, there was another sting that bothered her immensely. The sting of not knowing where Snoopy was. Sean had told her that Chris was none other than Atlas, and the name had immediately rung a bell. She could never forget it, neither the name nor the man who carried it. Atlas was the one who had helped her escape Zen’s hell. The revelation had struck her like a blow, leaving her completely shocked. Never in her wildest dreams could she have imagined that Chris was Atlas, the very commander-in-chief of Aurelius’ regime. She was still not over the revelation.

For Lena— he’d walk on broken legs. Lena’s POV — Citadel Containment Feet approached outside her glass cell. Heavy boots. A shadow. A tall man stepped into view. Wearing a black uniform with silver trim. The Circle emblem on his shoulder. His face hidden behind a sleek mask. He stopped directly in front of her, hands behind his back. “Lena Carter,” he said through a filtered voice. She stiffened. “Who are you?” The man leaned closer. “You can call me Commander Rhyke.”

The first rogue they found was alone—a scout, trying to cover tracks. Atlas didn’t hesitate. He tore through him. Not a clean kill. Not mercy. Atlas ripped his throat out. The warrior holding the rogue had barely blinked before Atlas moved on, shifting back into his human form, his hands dripping red. The next one tried to run. Theo took him down in seconds. No questions. No hesitation. Just death. Darius led them toward a rogue outpost—hidden deep within the trees, tucked into the side of a rocky ridge. It was empty.

The image won’t leave. “Madame, we have arrived,” the driver said in a soft French accent, stepping out of the vehicle. I swallowed hard as my eyes lifted. The Palais D’Or ballroom glowed under night skylines, masked guests drifting in and out like ghosts dressed in gold and silk. Caspian Ventura. That greedy old monster. I am glad his son, Zavier, isn’t here tonight, which makes killing Caspian Ventura easier than I planned. “Are you ready?” Kael’s voice came through my earpiece.

Affirmative, I'm accessing their systems now," Neptune responded. "Neptune, what's their military structure and chain of command?" Dad asked, his eyes scanning the data streaming in from the reptilian city. "Analyzing...it appears they have a hierarchical structure, with a dominant leader and sector commanders," Apollo replied. "Can you identify the leader?" I asked, my interest piqued. "Affirmative, Queen Raven," Neptune said. "The leader is identified as...Zorvath, Supreme Commander of the Reptilian Empire." David's expression turned thoughtful, "That's a bold title. We need to learn more about Zorvath and his ambitions."

Camilla Gomez sacrificed everything for Darian Baldore. When he was accused of murder—a crime that could have shattered his billion-dollar empire—she took the blame, trusting his promises that he would clear her name and bring her back to him once it was safe. Instead, she was abandoned. Branded a killer. Sent to prison to rot while the man she loved moved on as if she had never existed. Worse, she was carrying his child, forced to bring new life into the world while trapped in a nightmare. Seven years later, she returns—not as a broken woman, but as a force to be reckoned with. She’s rebuilt herself and forged her own empire, and she has only one goal: to make them pay for their betrayal.

Near the seashore of Men’s Island, right next to the ruins of what could have wielded the ocean’s gas into a weapon of mass destruction, The horror-stricken president, his counselor, and the rest of the president’s special squad stood motionless, they all felt eerie with the eyes on them, completely hidden away from them, they were being observed by the many sea folk soldiers and their General. Waiting for the order to kill. But that order never came through. Amalthea handled the whole situation so brilliantly that Nereus didn’t even have to lift a finger, and then they disappeared with the great Cetus back into the depths of the ocean back to the lost city of Atlantis.

“That’s how long they’ve been trying to find your father’s system.” Aurora felt the weight of that revelation settle into her chest. “For fifteen years they couldn’t find Atlas?” Marcus shook his head. “No one could.” Lucien smiled faintly. “Your father built a ghost.” Aurora glanced down at the tablet in her hands. Atlas pulsed quietly on the screen. An invisible empire hidden beneath global networks. Waiting. Watching. Protecting. And now it has awakened. A new alert blinked suddenly across the interface. Aurora’s eyes narrowed.

King of Atlantis (voice rough with salt and surrender): “The sea… remembers mercy.” He turns the throne around, faces the city, and speaks in Atlantean that even I understand now. Translation: “Stand down. The storm has spoken. We kneel.” Atlantis sinks (slow, graceful, humbled). The Gulf smooths to glass again. Sunrise finishes painting the sky like it’s proud of me. Remy exhales against my neck. Remy (awed): “You just made an empire blink.” Seras whoops so loud enough to scare pelicans.

He wouldn't have trouble understanding the intricate relationships at play here. When Noah and Arthur raised their glasses, Atlas took me away, whispering softly, "Mr. Noah’s full name is Noah Kent. He's the newly appointed head of Bourdamun and is trying to establish himself. So, don't worry and wait for him to approach you. From there, the conversation will flow naturally." I looked at Atlas, a hint of concern in my eyes, and asked, "We won’t mess it up, right?” Atlas glanced at me sideways and asked, "You have that little faith in me?"
