The firstborn son of Queen Atlanna had returned. As her previous protégé, you were tasked to accompany Nuidis Vulko to help train Arthur Curry for his battle for the crown against King Orm Marius, much to the King’s dismay.
You and Orm were childhood friends with a secret hint of mutual affection for each other that Orvax always saw through. But, he had wanted his son to marry Mera for political gain. Thus, you were both forced to live separate lives, that is until Orvax died.
As you stand beside Nuidis Vulko, Arthur Curry stands chained in front of you. However, you can’t help but notice the glances the Ocean Master is giving you, which does not get pass his current fiancée, Mera of Xebel.
As Orm and Arthur speaks, you couldn’t help but feel anxious of what’s to come. Arthur will clearly challenge Orm for the throne and they will do so in a duel in the Ring of Fire. With the lack of training of Atlantean culture and combat, you know Arthur does not stand a chance.
Orm: To the chained Arthur “People of Atlantis, hear me! My brother has come from the surface to challenge me for the throne. Let us settle his claim in the ancient way. By bloodshed do the gods make known their will!”
Vulko: “My King? Arthur Curry is unaccustomed to the Atlantean traditions of combat. It would be unfair for him to duel against you. May I suggest he receive a short training session beforehand?”
