Journy To The Pacific
4/15/1931, Atlantis Colony, Pacific Northwest Waters
Namor and Bobo were swimming, the two of them enjoying their day together when all of a sudden, a pair of ink balls had hit the two cousins in the face, making them both splutter in confusion and look to see a grinning Nammu who had a few more, “Gotta be stealthier if you want to be on The Tri–Team!” She shouted, angering the pair as they had been hit on the others side as well.
The two of them turned and they saw that it was a girl with Red Hair who looked more like she was a part of Royalty, “Hey!” Namor had shouted in anger at that as they had noticed the ink balls that she had and thrown them at the boys, laughing which had made Nammu do the same as the boys had went and started to swim away, “Who are you?!” Namor had demanded, angry as his mother swam in with a man.
“DORMA! NAMMU!” The man had shouted in anger, his crimson hair looking like his head was on fire as he had approached them, “Father!” the redhead had said as Nammu was nervous now, hiding her hands as the man had looked to them, “You must be Prince Namor and Bobo, the man had said to them, “I am Wa–Than, her father and caretaker of Nammu.” he had told them.
“I apologize for whatever trouble they’ve caused.” he had said and hearing that, the pair had seen how scared and a bit upset at that, “It’s fine!” Bobo had said towards him, “We were just doing some training.” he had said, “Yes, the girls were nice enough to offer us some help, we’re going to be on The Tri–Team!” he had said, making Fen look at the girls, “Is that true?” she had asked of them.
The two of them had nodded at that quickly at that, relieved at their lie as Fen nodded, “Very well then,” she had said before speaking, “We better go and get ready to meet the nearby Lemurians.” Fen had told Wa–Than, “The Lemurians?” Namor had said, excited at the mention, “Can we meet them?” he had asked of them, “Careful,” Nammu had said, “Lemurians aren’t like Atlanteans.” she told them.
Bobo had been confused, “How could you know that?” he had asked her, making Nammu glare as Dorma had swam over, “If you want, you can come with me and Nammu to see Tali?” she had asked, making the boys grin, “May we, mother?” Namor had asked, making Fen look to Wa–Than shrugged, “Very well, let them come.” he had said, hoping that they would have some fun there.

4/15/1931, Ryūgū-jō, Pacific Ocean
They had used one of the currents to arrive there with the help of one of the great Sea Beasts, “Welcome, to Ryūgū-jō.” Nammu had said and hearing that, the boys were interested and happy at that as they started to swim down, at least until they had seen that there were Green Warriors approaching them, all of them wearing some form of blue leather armor with spears.
“[Welcome to Ryūgū-jō, honored guests.]” the one in the lead said, speaking in a language that neither boy knew but the girls seemed to understand at that as the adults had went and greeted then in turn, “[Greeting, Solcuvi, let us proceed.]” he warrior had said as they had went and swam off, “Where are we–?” Namor had asked and that was when a group of green children around their age had approached them.
The children had went and started to circle them, all of them chatting in the same language, wearing clothes that were different, the boys having their hair in buns with them having bone spikes in their faces and such as they had felt the rough skin of the children, “[Hello there!]” “[You’re pink!]” “{Why do you have wins?]” they all started to ask in their own tongue until Nammu had released a piercing whistle to them.
That had made the children there all turn and look to her as she had motioned for Dorma to take the stage, “[Everyone, this is Prince Namor and Bobo or Atlantis, please stick to Atlantean.]” she had said to them, making the kids all look at them and smile at that, “Hello,” she said, “I’m Tali, Nammu’s cousin.” she had said and that had made the two boys look in confusion at that as they were led to a house.

4/18/1931, Residential Area, Ryūgū-jō
They had been brought to a series of buildings that were connected with none of them being more than one story which had confused them at that as they were all entering the building, the children there bowing towards a shrine that was there as they had noticed that Nammu was doing the same while Dorma was by the sides of them, “They’re greeting their ancestors.” she had whispered as Bobo spoke.
“Nammu doesn’t look Lemurian.” Bobo whispered to them, making the young lady of The Antarctica court shrug as Nammu had started to wrestle with her cousins, “Their Grandmother was an explorer, she came to our court all the time, according to grandfather, and she was a very open lever, whatever that means…” Dorma said with them not knowing, “Either way, they have the same grandmother.” Dorma said.
Namor had went and entered the room, curious as he had seen that the Lemurian children and Nammu were grinning, “So, Namor,” the girl that was called Tali had said, wearing a robe over a scaled bodysuit similar to Nammu’s had said, her hair held back with a few pins that looked like they were carved to appear like snakes, “You’re a Prince, correct?” she had asked.
Namor and Bobo who swam in both nodded though the latter had grinned, “Yep! He’s going to be the next king!” he had said, wrapping his arm around Namor’s throat and mussed up his hair, making the children all look at each other, “[I wonder if he’ll be like Merro?]” one of the cousins said at that, making Nammu roll her eyes at that, “What are they talking about?” Namor had asked of her.
“They’re wondering if you’re going to be like Prince Merro.” Nammu had said, making Tali glare as Dorma had scoffed at that, “Who’s Prince Merro?” she had asked of them, “He’s the oldest living son of Emperor Naga The Immortal, long may he reign.” Dorma had said with the kids all repeating the same words, “Naga?” Bobo asked, having never heard of him.
“Naga the Immortal, he has ruled our people for… hundreds of… years?” Tali asked, making Nammu nod at that, “How?” Namor had asked, confused how any of their people, Atlantean or Lemurian, could live that long, “He is an Alchemist and a worshiper of The Serpent God,” Tali said with the kids uncomfortable at the mention of that deity, “So he had used his knowledge to achieve the impossible.” she said.
Bobo and Namor leaned in at interest, confused at that, “He had learned how to be immortal, as long as he had worn the ancient crown of the god, he would remain unchanged, unaging until the day that his crown had been stolen by rebels.” Tali had said, making the Atlantean children confused, “Wait, what?” was the common response from the four of them at that.
“Why didn’t you guys tell me?” Nammu had asked of them, making the children all look confused with a few shrugging, “Because it–” “Tali! Ollik! Omu! We’re back from the hunt!” one of two men had said as they had swam in, seeing their guests and a member of family that had come as well, they had smiled and started to get started on keeping them entertained.

4/28/1931, Atlantis Colony, Pacific Northwest Waters
Beemer and Zarina were the first to greet them, the King and his wife were also there as they had approached, Bobo and Namor having gifts from the cousins as they had went and approached them, Korra ent and hugged her two grandsons, “I am so glad that you’re back!” she had said and hearing that, the two of them had smiled embarrassed as the girls had waited while the adults spoke to each other.
“Are you two going to be staying?” Namor had asked, making the two girls look, “I wouldn’t mind.” Dorma had said and hearing that, her father had looked towards the two of them, “We were planning something about this in the future anyways.” he had said, making Dorma and Nammu excited while the boys were confused on what it was exactly that was going on.
“Wait, you were planning something?” Namor had asked, making Bobo curious as well, the two of them looking as the adults had thought on what to say, “We were thinking, after the attack from The Wild Dogs,” he had said, Korra frowning at that, disliking how Byrrah had left him up there and how he had nearly lost a arm if he was as soft as a pinkling.
“That we should gather others of the court, more of their children so that you may deepen your relationships for the future of Atlantis.” he had said, the others nodding at that, “Like your cousin, Aquaria.” she had said, surprising them, “Cousin?” Bobo had asked, Beemer nodding at that, “I remember her, she’s our older cousin.” he had said, making the other pair excited at the thought.
“Why isn’t she the heir then?” Bobo had asked, he knew why he and Beemer weren’t, their mother had married their father who was just a fisher, none of them wanting the responsibility,both just wanting to do good for Atlantis, they had others but they were too young or too distant in relation, “It’s because her father was adopted, therefore she has no claim to the throne.”
That had made the two girls glare at that, neither one liking the sound of that as Bobo got excited, “I can’t wait to meet her!” Bobo told them with Beemer scoffing at that, Namor unsure of it, had decided to swim away when the others had, following Dorma and Nammu, “What do you think?” Dorma had asked, confusing the boy, “At what?” he had asked of the two.
“Of your cousin, of course.” The lady had said as Nammu had went and started to spin, “I don’t know…” he had said to them, “I don’t know her, maybe she’ll be strong like Beemer, maybe she’ll be smart like mother, maybe pretty like you Dorma, or fierce like you, Nammu, we’ll see when she comes.” he had said, making the two of them pause, surprised that he said that as they had went to follow.

“Take it back, Byrrah!” Namor had said towards him, “I didn’t cheat!” He had shouted out, going to attack him, but Byrrah had just stood as Beemer and Meranno had went and grabbed his arms, “You don’t have any scars and you didn’t come with the dogs!” Byrrah had said to him, making the kids there shout, “No! We saw it!” Dorma had shouted out, “He went up there and he caught the dogs and they bit him!”
Bobo nodding at that too as he had went and tackled his older brother who had growled at that, trying to get him off and so some of the others had went to grab at him but there was no chance as Nammu had whistled, making them all look and see that there was somebody there, it was a bubble that had been filled and had one of the dogs there, “Here’s the proof!” Nammu had shouted.
Namor glaring and nodding at that, looking at it as well, “SHE probably got it for you!” Byrrah had said, the others laughing at that and making the others laugh at that as the four kids had glowered at that, none of them liking the fact when Byrrah had grinned, “Alright then,” The Step–Son of their King had said, “Let’s get you a new dare.” he had said towards them, making the others curious.
“The Sharka Tribe should be in the nearby waters right about now.” he had said with a grin, “We’ll take one of the currents there, and we can see you steal a Sharka War Saw!” he had said and hearing that, the kids had all started to whisper in worry at that as Namor said, “Fine then.” Namor said, making even the older boys look in surprise at that as he had looked to them, “Let’s go and see.”

5/17/1931, Sharka Village, Arctic Ocean
The group of kids had been glad that they had found a current, the kids had went and started to swim as slowly and as silently as possible, going and making sure that they were undetected, “Okay, you just have to steal something from the Sharka, that’s it!” Byrrah had hissed as they had went and ducked, scared that some Sharka had swam up above, “They can’t see us, remember that!” Dorma hissed.
“Why? Are you scared?” Meranno had teased, “I don’t want us to go to war like King Immanu did!” she had said and hearing that, the others were a bit worried at that as they had looked down at it all, “Okay, let’s go,” Bobo said, making Beemer grab his shoulder, making them turn, “You’re not going to help him! That’d ruin the game!” he whispered, making the others nod but Namor’s friends.
“The best thieves work with a team.” Dorma had said and hearing that, the kids had been about to say more before they saw that Namor had went and swam forward, making the others start to panic as they had went and started to follow after as the boys had watched them, Bobo grabbing some clothes and started to put them on before tossing the rest to the others.
The four of them started to look around, seeing that there were axes, spears and some other weapons there, “Okay, what’re we stealing?” Nammu had asked of them, liking the sight of a dagger that looked Lemurian in design, “It needs to be impressive, something that none of them could say–” Namor started to say before they had heard a bellowing that made the four turn to see.
They saw that it was one of the rarest prizes of all, a Giganto, one of the rarest and most intelligent of the species, they usually stayed in their pods, but this one, it was a calf that had somehow been caught as they had cheered and started to cheer, their green and blue hues had made them quite lovely, “What are they going to do to it?” Nammu had asked, looking scared for the creature.
“The Giganto are quite delicious when cooked.” Bobo had said, making them all look in worry at that, “We’re obviously not going to leave the poor thing with them!” Nammu had said, “No way!” Dorma had agreed as Namor had grinned, “Why are you smiling?” Dorma had asked, “I don’t like that smile, it usually means trouble.” Bobo had said as Nammu got a grin of her own.
“I don’t like THAT smile, it usually means that she’s about to do something bad.” Dorma had said, making the boy worried, “I believe that we found our thing to steal.” he had said, making the others grin, glad that he was going to save the Giganto as they had went to swim around, “How are we going to rescue it?” Bobo had asked as they had looked to the cage.
“We need a distraction, the keys, and a way to earn the trust of the Giganto.” Namor had said, “I got the distraction.” Bobo had said, pulling out some aurora jelly, “This should work–” “I’ll use them, you get the key.” Dorma had said, the other nodding, thinking her best and the Sharka would like the sight of her more than the others, maybe they’d dislike Namor as they started to plan.
“I’ll get the key then.” Bobo had said and that was when Nammu had spoken, “I’ll be on Giganto duty!” she had whispered excited as they had nodded at that, Namor seeing that the cages bars were some sort of metal and that had made the boy think that he couldn’t break them as they had all nodded before going and splitting up to go and rescue the creature from them.
The Atlantean lady had went and started to set off the Aurora Jelloy, making the Sharka look towards the lights and as they saw them, some of them started to approach, cautious and tense before they had realized that there was something approaching, a Tele–Fish who had went and started approach them, looking hungry and aroused thanks to the light which made them worried.
As they were distracted, the other three had went and and saw the one with the Key who was wearing a helmet of some bone, seeing that, they had acted fast, Bobo had went and snatched the keys before kicking the man into some rags and tools that were there as he had tossed it to the others with Namor grabbing them and the two of them swimming towards the cage.
The little Giganto had seemed scared at the sight of them, backing away from them as it were and as it had done as much, Nammu had started to coo, trilling towards the Giganto which had seemed to calm it down, enough that when Namor had opened the cage as he had went and entered, Nammu following afterwards as the Sea Beast had went and approached them when they started to hear a noise.
“[Hey! What’re you doing?]” one of the boys had shouted out in irritation, “[It was getting spooked by The Tele–Beast, we are trying to calm it down–]” Nammu started when Namor had grabbed the reins that were there and snapped them, “Yaah!” He had shouted, grabbing Nammu as the beast had swam out in panic, roaring as it had done so, making The Sharka angry and shout as they fought the Tele–Beast.
As The Giganto had went and swam towards an opening, Nammu had went and slid down to his tail, offering a hand to Bobo who took it and then they had went and as he had went and seen that Dorma had went and swam up to grab at Bobo’s ankle who had grinned as they had went and climbed onto the back, “Come on!” He had shouted out as the quartet had went and swam away on him.
“I can’t believe we did that!” Dorma had shouted, going and petting the creature, “What’s his name?” She had asked the others, the group looking at him with a grin, “How about Tiny?” Namor had asked them, “I LOVE that!” Nammu had shouted, “Tiny it is!” Bobo had said with a cackle as they had went and got onto a current to head home with their prize.

5/17/1931, Courtyard, Atlantis
The members of the Royal Court had their weapons ready as they had went and seen that there was a quartet of children there with them all having smiled, “Namor!” Thakorr had shouted out in anger, “What are you doing with that Giganto?!” he had shouted out as they had went and gotten off, Nammur staying by him and trilling towards the Giganto, “We rescued him! His name’s Tiny!” Namor shouted.
That had made the King go and look at the creature, going to approach the beast that was still scared as Nammu had went to trill longer at the beast, “A Giganto away from its Pod, what a remarkable find.” he had said before turning, “Teoluc!” he had said, making Tiny flinch as a battlescarred Atlantean approached, one arm replaced with metal as he had worn a scaled sarong with a cumberbund, covered in bite wounds.
“Yes, my King?” he had asked of him, “Take the calf to The Beast Pens, we will make a warbeast of this little one.” he had said with a smile, “I will.” Teoluc said, pulling out a whip he had wrapped around his arm, “I can help him move!” she had said, making the man curious as he had watched them move the beast, and so the others had went and followed after them.

5/17/1931, The Beast Pens, Atlantis
The five of them had went and entered the hidden caverns that were there, the sounds of beasts that were there, all of them restrained and staying in their caves, “How can someone as small as us control beasts as large as them?” Bobo had asked of Teoluc who had sighed at that, “Seth! Dara!” he had shouted, surprising them that their younger twin cousins had swam over, “I have to get this calf situated,” he said.
“Yes, Kennel Master!” the twins said to him as the ravenettes had looked to them, “Tell them whatever they need to know, you come.” he said, pointing to Nammu as the pair had swam away, “So, how do we control them?” Dorma had asked, “Simple, we don’t,” Seth told her, “We only make them think of this as a habitat they enjoy, only Thakorr can control them with the horn!” he said to them.
They all know what Horn he was talking about, The Horn of Proteus which allowed them to control the Sea Beasts, “We only prepare them.” he had said as they had all looked at them and then at the sight of Byrrah who was approaching, “Nicely done, cousins.” he had said, making them both smile at that, but neither one really cared about that right now as little Tiny found his home.
