The two were soon married & actually grew to fall in love with one another. Alcippe then gave birth to a son Honsu, the heir to the throne & the final part of the alliance. Honsu would have multiple children but one of them give birth to Atlantis' future Queen, Atlanna.

Though a quarter Amazonian, Atlanna was born & raised as Atlantean royalty. As the heir to the throne, Atlanna had prepared to become Atlantis' monarch since she was a young girl. She was well versed in all her royal duties, while also being taught combat, sorcery & the history of their kingdom. Because of the role that was expected of her, Atlanna was set up to marry Orvax Marius, the commander of the Atlantean army & member of a prestigious house of Atlantis.

But Atlanna was soon found by members of The Drift, the Atlantean Kingsguard. The dutiful royal decided to return in that moment & not make the guards aware of her husband's or son's existence for their safety. With a broken heart, she would eventually return home to her lonely solitude & she was married off in an imperial wedding to Orvax. She soon produced an heir to the throne, a son named Orm.

Their marriage was anything but happy one. Her new husband was an abrasive sort with a history of mental & emotional instability, who regularly abused his wife. Much of their marital fallout stemmed from the inherit surface-hating persona that Orvax blatantly showcased. He & his naval forces would regularly sink human ships out of spite which greatly perturbed his wife. Whenever Atlanna would confront him on his cruelty, he would assault her in full view of their son. Despite her volatile marriage, Atlanna was known as a loving queen to her people.

Atlanna was very much aware of Orvax's many mistresses, usually ignoring the most of them. But after a certain trip he took, she confronted him on his return as she believed him to be with another woman. He laughed & admitted that he has not only been with another woman, but had also used the trip to visit her old friend Tom. The cruel king then boasted how he killed him in order to keep her from leaving him. In a fit of rage & despair the embittered queen killing him by stabbing her husband with her royal scepter, an act witnessed her handmaiden Mera. With her help, the two covered up the murder & claimed Orvax to have been assassinated by one of his many enemies.

### 1997 - 2001: Atlanna

With her husband now dead, Atlanna had nothing to fear & went to the surface world to reconnect with her son. After a long conversation about her whereabouts over the last two decades, Arthur returned with her to Atlantis. He was given the Atlantean name Orin, one that had unknowingly been given to him at birth. Legitimizing Orin as her first born thus made his the heir to the Atlantean throne, a notion that met with much animosity by the nation's citizens. Though they loved Atlanna, they did not want to be rule by a surface dweller. It took some time but Atlanna was able to get the people to fall in love with Author, but in the process, her son grew jealous of his brother & disdain for his mother. To make matters worse with her son, Atlanna began advocating for peace with the surface world.

After four years of being reunited with her son, Atlanna decided to give the throne to her son on his 21st birthday & continue on as his advisor. But first, she wanted to speak with her youngest son about Orin's transition as King. To say it went badly is an understatement. Words were exchanged & when the Queen turned to leave, Orm stabbed his mother the chest from behind. After fabricating a story about her death, Orm took the throne.
