Atlan

His muscles stiffened, lungs filled and frigid.
His limbs lost their fight, trembling lips tinged blue.
His arms stopped flailing, legs stopped kicking.
● ●

He reached out, ○
desperate for his fingertips to break the surface ... ●


... but he was too far down.


He drowned,
but the death of Aslan Al-Amari
birthed Atlan, Prince of the Sea.
