“AMAZONIA-ATLANTIS: WEIGHT OF THE WAVES” part three “WHAT LIES BENEATH”
Now.
As the territorial dispute continues to escalate, forces from the United Realms of Amazonia arrive in Xebellian waters. King Orm, however, is resolved to defend Atlantis’ sovereignty. The tense stand-off could erupt into open combat at any moment - and King Shark of the Fisherman Kingdom smells blood in the water! Will he ignite a war with “the bite heard ‘round the world”?
Meanwhile, in an attempt to negotiate a truce, the captured Diana offers to show Mera what truly lies beneath Aurania and Venturia... but after so many ages in isolation, are either of them prepared for what they actually find there?
Millennia Ago.
Many noble warriors had fallen to give their greatest heroes, the Others, a chance to slip through enemy lines and complete an impossible quest to imprison the mad gods themselves. The Others - of Atlantis: the sorcerer Arion, the tide priestess Jarax, the man-of-war Palardan; of Amazonia: the archer Valari, the kanga-rider Exposta, and the general Killaristos; Garin Mar, the Ungaran Green Lantern of Sector 2814; and the human warrior with a demon hand, Claw the Unconquered - were the last, best hope to defeat Triton and Enyo. Though fated to succeed, two among them would betray the others and fall in combat, their shame hidden from history. But who? And why?
Now.
The Others were named after a legendary assemblage of heroes. Led by Aquaman, each bore and protected an artifact from ancient Atlantis. The Amazonian seer Kahina possessed the Seal of Clarity, a cypher capable of deciphering any code... even the combination to unlock the god-prisons of Aurania and Venturia! Can Arthur safeguard Kahina and the Seal from those hunting them - a clandestine coven still loyal to Triton and Enyo? And could this coven really be led by two long-deceased traitors from ages past?

“THE UNDYING ENMITY”
Earth-2.
“I shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth, and anyone who meets me may kill me.” Then the Lord said to him, “Not so! Whoever kills Cain will suffer a sevenfold vengeance.” And the Lord put a mark on Cain, so that no one who came upon him would kill him.
- Genesis 4:14-15.
The first human born. The first murderer. The first king. Cursed to eternal life, his time on Earth has spanned all of human existence. And since he believes God is cruel and won’t protect humanity, he will. His way. Known by many names, he is... Vandal Savage!
1350.
Since founding the kingdom of Nod after his banishment from Eden, he’s been chased. The fact that Savage didn’t die frustrated and enraged Death itself, who sporadically bonded to a mortal host in order to assail him. Those hosts ceased to be human and became legendary nightmares. They became... the Black Racer!
Through sword or sorcery or force of arms, Vandal Savage had fended off the Racer for millennia. This time was different. Vandal “Savauge” had become a ruler in Europe, extending his reach internationally. His hubris invited punishment. The Racer struck indirectly, bringing with it the deadliest plague in human history: the Black Death! Threatening to take the lives of an entire continent, Savage must assemble a party of medieval heroes and strike down the Black Racer in its lair before it’s too late! Or... is it already too late? Has the Racer finally discovered a way to kill him?

Unbeknown to me, Jay was a superhero from the golden age, the Flash! Unbeknown to anyone, Jay was also secretly the Roman God, Mercury! The experience left me forever changed and made me the impossible. To the outside world I am an ordinary man, but secretly, guided by Mercury’s ghost, I use my speed to protect humanity from the petty and cruel gods and demigods that would plague mankind with suffering and that still walk among us. I am... the Flash!
Central City lives up to its name. In the center of a nation of immigrants, the city is a crossroads for people from around the world. And those people often bring their ancient gods with them...
Case in point: Leonard Snart. An ex-Army Captain last seen at Fort Wainwright in Alaska, Snart disappeared in a blizzard years ago... only to reappear today at Star Labs. His attempt to steal all data on the anti-global warming project nicknamed “Cold Gun” has gone awry - and quickly turned into a hostage situation. This looks like a job for the Flash!
But when Snart reveals cryokinetic powers capable of slowing down the Flash, it’s clear he’s no normal terrorist! Jay Garrick’s Speed Force Ghost has seen such gifts bestowed before... by an old enemy from antiquity. Snart must have become a high priest of Chione, the goddess of Frost and a remorseless Killer!
Flash Myth: In Greek mythology, Chione (Ancient Greek: Χιονη Khione from χιών chiōn, "snow") was the daughter of Boreas, the god of the north wind.
Can the Flash thaw this Captain Cold out before he enacts whatever plan his goddess has concocted? Or is Earth-2 overdue for its next ice age?

That magic eventually spat out a burning emerald chunk of itself, falling to Earth in the Orient where it was fashioned... into a Lantern! Since then, those who touch metal rings to the Lantern, if possessed of sufficient will, can wield the magic of the green flame! Sworn to use this power for good, a group of caretakers arose. Wizards. Vigilantes. Heroes. They are... the Green Lantern Society!
1965.
Operation Rolling Thunder. The USAF’s sustained aerial bombardment campaign against the North Vietnamese. Nobody, and I mean nobody, was better behind the stick of a Douglas A-1 Skyraider than ace pilot Hal Jordan. But not even he was prepared for the Viet Cong to summon Lạc Long Quân, king of dragons! No plane could stand against the flying serpent, and Jordan quickly found himself recovering from a near fatal crash. That’s when his life would forever change thanks to a visit from an old wizard named Alan Scott, a veteran himself. Scott understood that Hal was a rare soul possessed of great will... the kind that would allow him to become a Green Lantern!
Hal’s first test, however, is not to slay a dragon... but to liberate it! Lạc Long Quân is not acting of his own volition - he’s been enslaved by a group of Viet Cong wielding mystical weapons provided by a malevolent cult called Qward, sorcerers who consider themselves the true heirs of the lost Empire of Tears.
Can Hal, stepping into a completely foreign world of magic and mysticism, overcome great fear and save both a legendary dragon and his fellow airmen? Moreover, can Hal prove himself a worthy successor to the Green Lantern mantle?

Brother Eye’s anti-gravity controls have been set to maximum and as a result, the satellite is heading out of orbit in a straight line on a course tangent to its previous orbit into deep space. Meanwhile our fantastic foursome (AOM-NU lawyers strongly advise this term never be used again) need to hit a microscopic window in order to neither bounce off the atmosphere, or burn up upon re-entry. Luckily, Valentina Vostok had managed to steal much of Brother Eye’s data and was able to directly access much (but would it be enough?) of the data to plan a trajectory. Then everything went dark and we had a very powerful solid black page.
Vic wakes up in a hospital bed, bound to it and unable to leave or even get up. People with featureless masks come in and out, adjusting his IV and asking him questions.

WEIGHT OF THE WAVES Part 4 “FORBIDDEN COLORS”
Diana knows that as Realms of Amazonia, however obscure, Aurania and Venturia hold dangerous prisoners deep within. A war between Amazonia and Atlantis could let those foul beings free.
But when the underbelly of these territories is revealed to be an Escherian nightmare, warped by the dark influence of Triton and Ma-Enyo, she can’t help but to wonder: are they free already?
The sight of the corruption convinces Mera of the threat posed by shackled gods — but it’s too late to stop the war! King Shark, reinforced by General Ocina of Venturia, has shed first blood, and lots of it!
Meanwhile, Aquaman and Kahina are hunted by… the God Lantern Corps?!
What?
Kahina’s Seal of Clarity, made from the Graeae’s single eye, can find the answer to any question. As these old teammates take refuge in a desert oasis, the Seer seeks the truth of the enemies that hunt them. Visions of the forbidden truth of the past!
Eons ago, the Others were betrayed when Jarax and Valari were seduced by the promises of the rebel gods. Garin Mar was slain, his Power Ring pilfered. The traitors were sentenced to share the prisons of their patrons... but, truth is, a god in a cage isn’t so different from a Central Power Battery!
The Power Ring, reverse engineered and duplicated, proved to be more than capable as a conduit for divinity – and capable of escaping divine prisons. And thus, slowly but surely, have grown the ranks of Triton’s Cerulean Lanterns and Enyo’s Saffron Lanterns.
Recently, they’ve recently found eager recruits among the disaffected pro-conquest Amazonians. Not to mention the loyal retainers of Venturia’s power hungry Duchess; or as she prefers, Queen Clea! She’s been a large fish in a small pond for too long. In the mad machinations of Enyo and the prospect of War with Amazonia, she sees long awaited opportunity.
Outmatched by the God Lanterns, Arthur and Kahina are taken to the prisons so that the Seal of Clarity can at least free their gods… but the cult didn’t expect Wonder Woman and Mera to be there already! Can these proud warrior women free their allies and stop the release of the vengeful deities?
And as Amazonian reinforcements arrive above, does it matter?
