The Last of the Atlantians

Description

Many years ago...when the world was a much more caring place, there was a great city populated with great people. This city was always one with nature as were the people themselves. The city and its people valued one thing above all others that mother nature gave them. The crystals of life. These gems would give them as little as a healed up cut to hundreds of years added onto their lives. This city who treasured these crystals were known as Atlantis...a war against another civilization caused the great Atlantis to be protected and submerged in water entirely.

Several years after the crisis, a new king and queen ruled the new and lost city. All was peaceful until the time where a young girl named Ariyana took the part of being the new Crystal Keeper. Dark creatures began to appear in the peaceful city, taking lives that were cherished by others. Yet again, another war broke out between Atlantis and the Heartless. The young priestess lost her father in this war and even herself, trying to protect her family...

Ariyana was no longer herself, the Heartless who took her away from the life she once knew. She called herself Ariyanixa a name that a mysterious man in a dark cloak gave her before leaving her in the mysterious world that had a heart-shaped moon in the forever night sky. She was now a Nobody. Soon, she found that from her losses, she gained strange but helpful powers. Now, she was able to travel to different worlds. But with this great discovery, she did not find happiness for many people were afraid of her. Her blind eye made others feel out of place and odd...as would most react to a slightly different person.

Because of these people's reactions, Ariyanixa grew to being drawn toward very quiet and un-populated places. One of which was a large forest that she visited every so often. It was there where she met Phixc, another outcast. But, unlike Ariyanixa, Phixc knew the woods and it's dangers. He took her in and soon they became rather close...despite both of them having lost much of their emotions, they developed feelings for each other. Feelings that could never be replaced or removed.

Ariyanixa barely thought of home due to her new life. She was truly happy. Little did she know that her home was still in grave danger. Yet another war was happening, not just between the Heartless creatures, but now, Hunters. The poor Atlantians were forced to fight just to have their land back. This war didn't last long until the Hunters began to turn on the Atlantians as enemies as well. All came to a halt when the Hunters broke through the crystal barrier to finally rid of their enemies...and everything else in the city. All the citizens, all the structures, all of Atlantis' history was washed away, spread across the ocean. Ariyanixa's home was now just a memory.

In the dangerous forest where the two Nobodies lived, Phixc met an elderly man outside of the woods. This man had bright blue eyes and glowing light blue patterns on his skin. He told Phixc that if he truly loved Ariyanixa, he would listen to his words. Without much of a choice, Phixc listened, worried, angered and most of all, confused.

The old man told him that there was another horrible war in her home and that the crystals of life were fading. He said that if Ariyanixa dies, whatever is left of that ancient civilization is doomed and will be lost completely and entirely forever. Her memory and will were all that was left. The elder became very weak and Phixc could tell that the poor man was dying. With this man's last breaths, he took the small glowing blue crystal around his neck and gave it to Phixc saying, "Keep this, it will make it so you two will live long...and happy lives with each other..."

The old man died and Phixc brought him into the forest to make a proper grave for him. Though he barely knew the man, he felt like he was somehow close to Ariyanixa, not just because he was also an Atlantian, but because he saw some of her in the elder. After giving the man a proper burial in one of the secret places of the large forest, Phixc wore the crystal, but in secret. He didn't want Ariyanixa to panic. He didn't want to tell her about the elderly man or the destruction of her home. He didn't want her to know that she was the only and very Last of the Atlantians.

Notes~
The old man is Ariyanixa's grandfather. He wasn't killed with the rest of the Atlantians because he left to search for help during the first war with the Heartless, just before the Hunters came in. As for how he knew that Atlantis met its demise, it's simple, everyone was connected by the crystals and if something happened to his family and friends, he would be able to tell exactly what happened or at least have a pretty good hunch as to what went on.
