## History

### Origin

Many millennia ago, after being declared dead and a casualty of war during the Atlantean invasions, the infant daughter of Poseidon's demigod son Atlas, the first king of Atlantis, and his mortal wife, Larissa, was given the moniker "The Lost Daughter". Never to be found and thought to be dead by everyone in Atlantis, including her devastated father, Atlara was in reality, unknown to everyone, put in a deep coma and buried underneath the city remains after the battles between Atlantis and Athens.

Because of their lust for power and lack of ethics, the Atlanteans fell out of favor with the gods, especially Poseidon, who saw Atlas' reign as king to be a disappointment. As a punishment, Atlantis was flooded in a single day as a result of a cataclysmic event of earthquakes caused by the gods. The island and its inhabitants vanished beneath the waves, eventually becoming what is now known as the "Lost City of Atlantis".

Atlas was stranded at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean alongside a doomed civilization, sunken island, and destroyed city. The people of Atlantis had drowned, but Atlas and his brothers, the rest of the kings, being the demigods that they are, had survived. Atlas had lost everything: his kingdom, his people, his mortal wife, and, unbeknownst to him that she survived, his only daughter and heir.

The King of Atlantis begged his father, Poseidon, the god of the sea, to bring back everything he had lost. Under certain conditions, Poseidon was willing to make a deal with his son. To start, Poseidon asked that the kingdom of Atlantis would remain submerged, where he could keep a closer eye on the civilization to ensure history did not repeat itself. Second, the civilization of Atlantis would live secluded from the rest of the world and hidden from the naked eye to ensure its safety. And lastly, Atlas would abdicate as king as soon as his daughter reached the age of majority and pass the throne to her, making her the new ruler of Atlantis.

Knowing that the gods were forbidden to resurrect their own kind, and that Atlara was partially a demigod, Atlas was perplexed by his final request. This was all common knowledge to Poseidon as he knew that his granddaughter was alive, but kept it a secret from his son. Poseidon would negotiate a deal with his brother Hades, the god of the dead and king of the underworld, to resurrect the Atlanteans and in exchange would be in his debt for an indefinite period of time. Soon after the agreement was reached, Poseidon and Atlas descended with Hades to the Underworld to bring the Atlanteans back to life. All of the Atlanteans were there, except for one: Atlara. Atlas now realized that his father had been aware of her existence, which caused him to become furious. Poseidon later explained to his son why he had kept this secret from him: as a further punishment for Atlas's lust for power and lack of ethics while leading his kingdom.

After the fall of Atlantis, Poseidon reassured Atlas that his daughter had washed up on a shore on the surface world unharmed. Atlas demanded that he got to see his daughter, but Poseidon presented him with an ultimatum instead. Atlas was not to have contact with his daughter till the day she would succeed him as ruler of Atlantis. If he were to breach this ultimatum, Atlantis and its people would merely be remembered as a fallen civilization and take its place in history as nothing more than a myth. Cruel as a punishment it may be, Atlas could do nothing more than accept his father's terms.

### Surface Upbringing

Years passed, and Atlara grew up unaware of her true identity as the Lost Daughter of Atlantis. She was adopted by the Vega couple who lived in a small coastal village and was given the name Ariadne. Ariadne lived a peaceful life, but she always felt like she didn't quite fit in. She was gifted with extraordinary abilities, such as enhanced strength, agility, and an uncanny ability to communicate with marine life. However, she was always careful to keep these abilities hidden, knowing that they could potentially draw unwanted attention.

As she grew older, Ariadne developed a strong sense of adventure and a desire to explore the world beyond her small village. She spent most of her free time studying ancient texts and maps, trying to find clues about the lost city of Atlantis. Her curiosity was fueled by a recurring dream she had, where she saw herself walking through the ruins of a magnificent city that was submerged in water.

### Atlantis Calling

One day, Ariadne's life changed forever when a group of sailors visited her village. They were on a mission to find the lost city of Atlantis, and they had heard rumors that a young woman in the village possessed knowledge that could help them. They approached Ariadne, who was initially reluctant to reveal her secrets. However, after some persuasion, she agreed to help them, and they set sail for the open sea. As they journeyed across the ocean, Ariadne's knowledge proved invaluable. She guided them through treacherous waters and helped them navigate through dangerous reefs. Eventually, they arrived at the location where Atlantis was believed to have been located. Ariadne led the sailors through a series of underwater caves until they emerged in a massive underwater city that had been hidden from the world for millennia.

The sailors were amazed by the sight before them, but Ariadne felt a sense of deja vu. She realized that this was the city she had seen in her recurring dream. As they explored the ruins, Ariadne's memories slowly started to resurface. She remembered who she was and where she came from. She was the Lost Daughter of Atlantis, and this was her home. Ariadne knew that she had a duty to her people. She had been chosen by the gods to rule over Atlantis, and it was time for her to claim her birthright. She bid farewell to the sailors and made her way to the throne room, where her father Atlas awaited her.

### Becoming Queen

Atlas was overjoyed to see his daughter again after all these years. He explained to her everything that had happened and how he had been forbidden from seeing her until she came of age. Ariadne was shocked by the revelation and her father revealed her real name to be, Atlara. She knew that she had a responsibility to her people. She accepted the throne and became the new Queen of Atlantis.

Under her rule, Atlantis flourished once again. The city was rebuilt, and its people thrived. Queen Atlara was a wise and just ruler, loved by her people and respected by her peers. She had a deep connection with the sea and was able to communicate with marine life, which she used to protect the waters around Atlantis from those who would seek to harm it.
