1/11/1934, Pharmaceutical Lab, Attilan
Maximus had been brought to the lab for his latest dosage, “And please, remember, one per a day.” The Doctor had asked and hearing that, the Prince nodded towards him, taking one right now before he had went and nodded, “Thank you.” he had told him with a smile before going and walking to the exit, as he had done so, he saw that Minxi and Marista were there, “Your highness.” Marista had said.
Maximus had nodded at that, smiling towards the two of them before he had looked towards their surroundings, “How’s Auran?” he had asked of The two attendants and hearing that, Minxi had spoken, “She’s fine for now, but The Sects are getting more and more active.” She had told him, making Maximus more worried at that as they had started to walk down the hall now.
“Is there anything that you could utilize? Something that The Sharka could supply?” Maximus had said as he had started to scratch at the back of his ear, remembering when he had Alveus to talk to, he at least had plans in mind when they had spoken to each other, “Not yet, you’d have to ask Triton.” Minxi had said before they had turned towards Marista.
But she had her ears covered to not hear anything, seeing that, Maximus had motioned for them to remove her hands as they continued to walk, “By the way, the new Attendant is ready for the cause.” Minxi said with a smile, making the prince nod, the more that they had on their side the better, he had only hoped that whoever they were able to gather would be ready when the time came.

1/11/1934, Salt Spring, The Sub–City
Elejea was a bit nervous as she had followed Triton through, having formed a forcefield to protect herself as She had come up from the water, the two of them looking around everywhere before they saw that Auran was waiting there, wearing her Jurat uniform and having some patches that were missing from her fur as the two were shocked by the sight, “Some in, we’re in trouble.” she told them.

1/11/1934, The Sub–City, Attilan
Triton was wearing a mask similar to what The mercenaries wore with Elejea wearing common cloths, a wrapping covering her face as they had followed after their ally, Auran looked around everywhere before her ears pricked up, “They’re coming, in.” she had ordered, pushing the two of them into a nearby home that was there and as they had done so, Elejea gasped.
The young Inhuman had never seen a Alpha Primitive so close and as she had observed them, the woman saw that they were just as terrified of them, “It’s alright.” Auran said, “We’re just hiding from Astog.” she had told them, making the two of them confused, “Astog? What is another Inhuman doing here?” Elejea had asked but Triton had an idea, “Kadlec and Monarch don’t trust you.” He said.
“Exactly,” she had told them, not happy at all, “They sent him and a few others under his command to help… corral them and assist me.” she had explained, making the two of them upset when they had started to hear the sounds of screams, of beatings, “Spot.” one of them said, moving to leave, “No.” Auran had said, gripping their shoulder, “Unless you want to be hurt too.”
That had seemed to stop the Alpha Primitive as Triton and Elejea had looked out towards the streets where they had seen that the Inhumans were started to do as much, beating The Alphan in question who was on their side, shielding their head, and as they had seen this, the two of them had wanted to help, “They won’t kill Spot.” Auran had told them, “Dkamas will take vengeance if they do, they learned that.”
That had made the pair look towards her again with some surprise and curiosity, “They’re scared of Dkamas?” Triton had asked, “They’re scared of his strength, but Elisha is the one that finds out about… that.” she had told them, making the pair of them more curious, “Who is Elisha?” Elejea had asked of The Inhuman, “Elisha is Dkamas’ second in Command.” Auran had told them.
“He is the smartest of them, planning their strategies, giving Dkamas the designs to protect their territory.” Auran had said as she had thought, “We need to head to The Garrison, we can properly talk then.” Auran had told them, watching for the Inhumans to start leaving and as they had seen that, Auran had headed to the door, “Alright, let’s go.” Auran had told them, going and getting Spot as she did so.

1/11/1934, Jurat Garrison, The Sub–City
To call it a garrison was quite generous, the two of them saw that it was a collection of houses that had been warded off, construction between them to box in the area around the Jurat’s home, “Welcome to my home.” Auran had said, going and knocking on the only unsealed door that was there, at that, the door had opened up and had revealed Nanny, “Auran…” she had said.
The woman had smiled towards The Alpha Primitive, the Older being had went and let them all in, “It is good to see you again, Triton.” the servant had told him before seeing Marista, “Is this… Codri?” she had asked, making Triton shake his head at that, “Whose Codri?” Marista and Auran had asked, making Triton shake his head, “Nobody important right now.” he had said towards them.
That had made them both think on that, “Alright, so what can we do about the new Inhumans in the Sub–City?” Triton had said and that had made the others all think on that before Nanny spoke, “Dkamas will be causing a raid on the volunteers, they are planning to take their supplies and their weaponry as well.” and hearing that, Marista had spoken, “How many sects are there?” she had asked.
Hearing that, Auran had went to the map that was there, “There are three Sects that are quite dangerous.” Auran had told them, “First off… there is Dkamas’ Sect, they are the most violent and are quite interested in attacking any servant of Monarch.” the Jurat had told them, “Next up, there are The Omega Refined.” Nanny said, “Those that are trying to become as intelligent as The Inhumans.” Nanny had said.
They had pointed to a more developed area of The Map, “And finally, there is The Auran Sect, which is trying to keep the peace of The Sub–City as long as possible for The King of Attilan.” Nanny had told them, making Auran sigh at that, “Seriously?” she had asked, “I thought that I told you to stop calling it The Auran Sect?” she had said as Triton had spoken to them.
“So we have somebody that we can ask for help?” Elejea had said, pointing towards the Omega Refined, “No, we have another distraction.” Auran had told them before taking a marker, “So then, here are the new depots that we can store the supplies in now.” The Jurat had told them which had made the two of them look at the map as they had started up on the next part.

2/14/1934, Blackagar Apartments, The Royal Palace
The two princes had entered the apartments and as they had done so, the two of them were relieved to see that there was nothing that they needed to worry about, so the two of them went and plopped onto their couch and with that, both of them tired right now with the parades, the dressing, and everything that Monarch did to keep them away from the others when they had hear familiar a barking now.
The two of them had looked and seen that there was Lockjaw with Crystal who looked happy with Myrra there who had looked disheveled and was a bit annoyed at the experience as Lockjaw had went and leapt onto Blackagar, licking him happily as Maximus had seen that they weren’t the only ones that had come as Elejea, Minxi and Marista had come in with Medusalith.
The group there had looked at each other now before Medusalith had went and approached the others before the ruby red head had went and hugged her sister, the group glad that at least this many of them could be together, “Astog is becoming a issue.” Marista had told them, “He’s becoming paranoid–” “Wait, when did we start to trust her?” Crystal had asked about Marista.
“The same time that we had allowed Elejea to join, even though she’s a spy implanted by Kadlec.” Medusalith had said and hearing that, the others had looked at her in shock before Blackagar had clapped his hands, making the group all look at him, “<Should we worry about the Mercenaries from the water?>” he had asked of them, making Crystal spoke up, “He said their leader, he’s a… patriot?” she had said.
At that, Minxi spoke, “Those crazies that love their country so much that they’d fight and die for them?” The Attendant had said and hearing that, they had all started to think before Maximus spoke, “So as long as it’s aligned for his people, he’ll help?” Maximus had said towards them, making Blackagar nod towards that as Elejea had spoken now, “According to Auran, there are two sects we need to worry about.”
That made them look towards her, “Dkamas who wants to kill The Royal Family for a better Attilan, and The Omega Refined who want to replace us all as masters of the island.” She had said and hearing that, Medusalith thought, “How is the Royal Guard and recruitment from their numbers?” she had asked her Royal Attendants, at that, Marista spoke, “It’s about Thirty Percent that we have.”
“Half of that is neutral but they’re cowed by the twenty percent that is loyal to Monarch and are being helped by Astog.” she said, having a good read and percentages of the city as they had started to think, “We need to talk to Gorgon and Mesili.” Medusalith had said before looking towards Myrra, “And I know how we’re going to be doing it.” the princess said as she leaned in close to Blackagar.

5/20/1934, Guardsmen Barracks, Attilan
Gorgon and Mesili had been sparring, the two of them going hand to hand for today until they had seen that Myrra was approaching, “Hello, love.” Myrra had said as she had went and kissed Gorgon on the lips, Mesili looking towards them before rolling her eyes at them, “Calm down you two, you’re only engaged, not married.” she had told them, making the pair just chuckle.
“Why are you jealous?” Gorgon had asked, making Mesili speak up, “I’m sorry, but is there anything else that you want?” The second Gorgon spoke as the Chef’s apprentice went and offered the basket to them, “I hope that you enjoy it.” Myrra told him, giving another kiss before she had walked away, making the others holler as The Two Gorgons glare towards them before they silenced.
The two of them had went and looked at the note that was there with the two reading over and they had both nodded at that, “God I love her.” Mesili had said, making Gorgon raise an eyebrow towards her, “Do I need to fight you for her?” he had joked, making Mesili motion for her axe, “If I can keep getting delicious food from my best friend, then yes.” she had told her.
That had made the two of them glare at each other, Gorgon readying his feet while she had picked it up, the two of them glaring, snarling towards each other before Mesili lowered her arms, “I don’t want to upset her.” She had told Gorgon, Gorgon going and spitting on the ground, making her picking up a stone sphere and throwing it at him, Gorgon lifting his knee to stop and break it.
The two of them had went and walked away from each other, they had been at each others throats for a while now and Monarch’s followers like them at each other’s throats as the two went their separate ways, “Aireo.” Gorgon had said as the flyer that had been collected by Maximus, “Hey there…” He had said, lowering down in his Royal Guard uniform right now after he had been recruited.
“Go ahead and get a message sent to Blackagar,” Gorgon had said as he had offered the paper, “A list of Guardsmen that we can trust.” he had said and hearing that, Aireo had nodded towards him, “Anything that I should tell the others?” he had asked and hearing that, the man had grinned, “Monarch is getting wise.” he had said and hearing that, The boy went and flew off.

5/23/1934, Water Channels, Attilan
Triton and Elejea had looked onward as the Mercenaries had come in with a pair of sharks and a Giant Crab which had the latest crate, but there was also somebody there, “Attuma.” Triton had said towards The Sharka, “Prince Triton!” Attuma had said towards him, making the Inhuman nod as he had approached, lapping his back hard, “Have you been to Submera recently?” he asked.
“No… but there’s something else that we need to talk about.” Triton had said, making Attuma cock his head in curiosity, “We need to move the drop off, somewhere more remote–” “Are you planning to back out?” Attuma had asked, making the others ready their weapons against him with a glare, “No, but our king is getting smart.” he had warned, making them look around the area then.
“So then, we need to be more subtle now, correct?” The young son of the chief had asked of him, “Exactly.” Triton had advised, making them all start to think and then nod, “Yeah… we’ve gotta start spacing these shipments out anyways.” He had said, “Atlantis is getting wise and we need to stay cautious of The Tri Team.” he had told Triton who nodded while Elejea was confused.
“Tri Team?” she had asked of them, “Think of them as advanced scout for The Atlantean Army, of which The Shark are enemies of.” Triton had told her and Attuma nodded, “So unless you want us all to be murdered, we have to be smart.” he had said and hearing that, The Royal Attendant was more concerned with what exactly they were getting into and how dangerous things were right now.

6/30/1934, The Cliff of Kings, Attilan
Maximus and Blackagar had been on horseback, the two of them had been ordered to be here and were curious as an Inhuman who had been gifted the ability to move stone as if it were clay, the builder had entered and as they had looked at him with his stone gray skin and eight fingers on each hand that were made for sculpting, he had grinned, “How do you like?” he had asked.
That had confused Maximus who spoke for them, “How do we like what?” Maximus had asked, making him motion towards the cliff face, “The image of your father, we are just getting started on the general shape.” he had said and hearing that, the two of them were surprised as they had realized that there was a few other faces that were there, “It was something ordered by the King.” a voice said.
They had turned and seen that it was Astog, the current troublemaker for them and in some fancy clothes like one of the officials that he had been collecting and with that, Blackagar motioned for him to continue speaking, “He wanted a way for all to be immortalized, so that we would not need to rely upon the royal portraits alone.” he had said and making them both amazed at that.
“One of them is reserved for not just your father, but for Monarch as well.” Astog had said and hearing that, the two of them had went and smiled at that though there was something else, both of them were gripping their reins as tightly as possible, both of them furious and were making their hands bleed now as they had went and started to look around at everything and hating the sight.

7/4/1934, The Marketplace, Attilan
The citizens were all panicked and confused as the explosions down below continued, “How is that happening?” one of the guards had asked in shock and fear as they had seen that there were members of The Royal Guard now, rushing over and searching for anything that could be causing the explosions before one of them with large ears and was sensitive to vibrations spoke.
“They’re coming from below!” The Guardsman had shouted out, making they all snarl at that as Gorgon shouted, “Send a team down there now!” He had snapped as Mesili had went and glared, “You and you, with me!” she had snapped out loud towards them before she had ordered before they had headed towards The Alpha Primitive Center to find out what was going on.

7/4/1934, The Sub–City, Attilan
Mesili and the rest of the team had went and entered, panicking and forming shields as they had seen that there were explosions, making the Inhumans there wonder what was going on when they had seen that the Alphans that were down below appeared to be celebrating, walking through the area and as they had done as much, Mesili was even more confused as she had looked around.
Eventually she had seen Auran who was on a chair and was celebrating with the others, “Jurat Auran!” she had shouted out, making the woman turn towards them and smiled, “Hey there! Great to see you, Mesili.” Auran had said to them in her Beastial form, kissing both of her cheeks, “You have to get me out of here.” she had begged, keeping the smile on her face as she had looked around.
Mesili seeing her action had smiled and looked around as well, searching for any potential enemies that were around, a few of them wearing the markings that Dkamas’ sect had and that had made her cautious, “Why? What’s going on?” Mesili had said as she had laughed with a few and grabbed a pair of skewers and gave one to her, “And what is this celebration?” Mesili had said as she had looked around.
“THIS, was because I told them about a holiday that I had heard about by my mother that my father had told her about.” Auran had said, “And I want to leave because there’s The Dkamas’ Sect trying to kill me, this’ll be their twelfth attack.” she had told them, making the Royal Guard that heard look at her with surprise, “How–?” “I’ve been stabbed, crucified, hanged, shot with bows, and dragged by a horse,” she explained.
“One day they’re going to figure out how to kill me and make it stick.” she had warned and hearing that, Mesili got worried as she noticed a larger Alpha Primitive who was shirtless had grinned and waved towards them, “Is that–?” “Dkamas.” she had said towards her friend as Nanny and her deputies tried to approach them as well, ready to rumble if needed.
“Come on everybody!” Auran said, seeing their body language, “It’s time for FUN! Not dicing!” she had said towards them, making the other more neutral Alpha Primitives nod at that as they had went and started to celebrate to, as Mesili saw this, she also saw how outnumbered she was, how many blades were in the crowd, and it made her all the more worried for her livelihood.

7/11/1934, The Throne Room, The Royal Palace
“My King! There’s too much danger there! We need at least a proper fortification for The Jurat! They have tried to kill her at least a dozen times she’s aware of!” Mesili had said towards him, making Maximus get anxious while Kadlec spoke, “Apologies, your highness, but with the project right now, we cannot afford to have an Inhumans build a fortification there.” he had advised.
“And there is nobody else that would volunteer for such a position.” Monarch had said, Mesili was ready to volunteer when Monarch spoke, “Then the least we can do is allow her to remain at her post for now.” The King had said and hearing that, the others wanted to rage, to deny this, but they all held their tongues, after all, how long would he be willing to keep her down there?

8/3/1936, Alpha Primitive Center, Attilan
Auran had walked up from the main entrance, shielding her eyes from the natural sunlight now as her replacement spoke, “Enjoy it.” he had said, the geokinetic juggling some stone spheres in his palm while she had wondered she was going to be doing next and it had made the girl grin as she had went and walked out to see how they were going to overthrow that bastard.
