Spider-Man: Black and Blue (AU) Chapter 38: Mama Bird

[Third Person Pov]

Dane walked back over with a couple of sodas balanced in his hands, one for Damon and one for Danielle—both of whom were still being “detained” until their parents arrived. The fluorescent lights above hummed faintly, doing nothing to ease the tension that clung to the small waiting area like static.

“I already called Dad,” Dane said with a weary sigh as he handed the drinks over. “And knowing him, he’s gonna call Mom the second he hangs up. So the...

Superman In A Romance Anime (AU) Chapter 103: Lewd Activities *R18*

[Third Person Pov]

Clark and Komi continued working on their homework together, the atmosphere around them slowly settling into something tranquil—almost serene. The earlier awkwardness of two people sharing a quiet room faded bit by bit, replaced by a sense of comfort neither of them fully acknowledged but both undeniably felt.

Clark had his head resting on his folded arm, half-leaning over the worksheet in front of him. For a while he genuinely tried to focus on the math probl...

Spider-Man Mayham (AU) Chapter 396: Rescue Heroes

[Third Person Pov]

The sandstorm roared, its howling winds slamming against the Ferris wheel with relentless force. The massive structure groaned under the pressure, and the carriages rocked back and forth in a violently unpredictable rhythm—each sway threatening to snap them loose from their hinges. Inside, terrified riders clung to whatever they could grab, knuckles white, voices hoarse as they screamed over the gale.

Aria swooped down from above, her silhouette briefly swallo...

King of the Seven Seas (EMH) Chapter 30: Definitely Not Bribing

[Third Person Pov]

Arthur and Mera stepped out of the small clothing shop, each now dressed in a much less suspicious—and far more comfortable—set of clothes. Arthur tugged at the hem of his new orange shirt, the bright fabric catching the afternoon light. The green pants fit him surprisingly well, loose enough for movement but sturdy enough to survive whatever chaos their day might bring. The sapphire pendant resting over his chest glimmered with every step, the gem almost seeming ...

King of the Seven Seas (EMH) Chapter 29: The Grand Prophecy

[Third Person Pov]

After Mera and Arthur both stepped into the swirling aquatic vortex, the chamber fell silent except for the lingering hum of the currents. Dane was bowing at the foot of Vivienne’s throne, his head lowered in reverence. When the last flicker of the vortex vanished, he raised his head back up and said, “Now, my Lady… if you’ll excuse me.”

Vivienne gave a small nod of acknowledgement, her expression calm and composed. “Go. You’ve fulfilled your—”...

King of the Seven Seas (EMH) Chapter 28: Piece of a Puzzle

[Third Person Pov]

“But there’s something I don’t understand,” Mera interjected, her brows knitting together as she turned toward Vivienne with a puzzled look. “If King Atlan was excommunicated and practically banished from Atlantis, how come he’s spoken so highly of today? In our history, he’s viewed as a great figure—one who laid the foundation of our civilization. He’s recognized, celebrated, even revered as the first King of Atlantis.”

Vivienne smiled faint...

King of the Seven Seas (EMH) Chapter 27: The True History of Atlantis

[Third Person Pov]

“As I lingered in Atlantis, I was met with a premonition,” Vivienne began, her voice taking on a low, distant tone as if she were seeing it unfold before her eyes. “A vision—no, a prophecy—foretelling the end of all things. I had managed to foresee its destruction. The day when Atlantis would forever sink beneath the waves, swallowed whole by the very ocean that had once been its cradle.”

She paused, recollecting her thoughts. “At the time, I didn�...

King of the Seven Seas (EMH) Chapter 26: Meeting The Lady of the Lake

[Third Person POV]

“Rest,” Arthur told Mera, his voice carrying a calm but firm authority, “You must be exhausted after ferrying us across Otherworld and maintaining that construct for so long. Leave the rest to me now.”

Mera exhaled, a small but relieved smile tugging at her lips. She hadn’t wanted to admit how drained she felt, but Arthur could see right through her. Holding the construct together while guiding them through the strange realm had pulled at her mind. Sti...

King of the Seven Seas (EMH) Chapter 25: Journey Through Otherworld (3)

[Third Person POV]

“Are you mad at me?” Arthur asked, leaning over the side to catch a better look at Mera as their mounts glided through the dense forest.

“No,” she replied flatly. Her voice carried a cool, measured tone, and her gaze stayed fixed on the winding path ahead. Not even a flicker of acknowledgment reached him. She kept her seahorse construct moving forward with steady precision, the reins taut in her gloved hands.

“Really?” Arthur drawled, his grin ...

King of the Seven Seas (EMH) Chapter 24: Journey Through Otherworld (2)

[Third Person POV]

“By now, we’re passing over Avalon, a place that’s being guarded by the grand wizard known as Merlin,” Dane explained, his gloved hand motioning toward the rolling landscape far below. From their vantage point high in the sky, the ground stretched like an endless tapestry of greens and golds, the late-afternoon sun spilling warm light across the horizon as their shadows skimmed faintly along the earth.

Arthur craned his neck to get a better look, leaning...

King of the Seven Seas (EMH) Chapter 23: Journey Through Otherworld (1)

[Third Person POV]

Arthur stepped out of the gateway and into the Otherworld Dimension. The moment his foot touched the soft emerald grass, a sudden gust of wind swept past, carrying with it a faint, otherworldly fragrance—like rain after a storm mixed with the sweetness of blooming flowers. The blades of grass bent and twirled in playful waves beneath his boots, as if bowing to the newcomer.

He paused to take in the change. The difference was immediate and almost startling. The...

King of the Seven Seas (EMH) Chapter 22: Portal to Otherworld

[Third Person POV]

Arthur sat securely behind Mera on her shimmering conjured seahorse, its translucent body glimmering with a faint oceanic light. Arthur wrapped his strong arms around Mera’s waist for balance, though the truth was that he also relished the closeness. Mera’s lips curved into a quiet smile as she felt his steady hold. She patted his hands with a tender reassurance before subconsciously leaning back against his chest, her posture softening as she took firm control of...

King of the Seven Seas (EMH) Chapter 21: Against A Horse

[Third Person POV]

“Wait, what could the Lady of the Lake possibly want with us?” Arthur asked, confusion lacing his tone as his brow furrowed. He leaned slightly forward across the table, curiosity and caution warring in his eyes. “Is she somehow aware that we were already seeking her out as well?”

Dane gave a small shrug, spearing another bite of food from his plate before replying. “I have no clue,” he admitted honestly. “I wasn’t exactly privy to the finer deta...

King of the Seven Seas (EMH) Chapter 20: Dane Whitman

[Third Person POV]

Later in the evening, when the sun dipped low on the horizon and painted the skies in hues of amber and violet, Arthur suddenly sprang up from the bed with a sharp intake of breath. His chest rose and fell quickly as his eyes darted around in a frantic search for familiarity.

Nothing he saw brought comfort. The room around him was not his own—it was finely decorated, its stone walls adorned with tapestries depicting knights and strange emblems. Heavy curtains ...

King of the Seven Seas (EMH) Chapter 19: A Vow Made In Blood

[Third Person POV]

As the Black Knight finished cutting down the last of the Mantamen, his blade sliced clean through the air with a final whistle, scattering crimson droplets across the stone before he flicked the weapon clean. With a practiced motion, he slid the sword back into its scabbard, his dark armor glinting faintly beneath the daylight that pierced through the drifting smoke of battle.

His gaze shifted, softened, as he caught sight of Arthur and Mera lying unconscious a...

King of the Seven Seas (EMH) Chapter 18: The Black Manta Attacks (End)

[Third Person POV]

Arthur appeared before Black Manta, gripping tightly onto Manta’s very own dagger. When their blades collided, sparks burst from the point of impact, bright flashes cutting through the air as steel ground against steel.

The two warriors darted across the town at blistering, inhuman speeds, their movements almost impossible for ordinary eyes to follow. They clashed along the rooftops of buildings, leaping from one to the next, each slash of their daggers sendin...

King of the Seven Seas (EMH) Chapter 17: The Black Manta Attacks (3)

[Third Person POV]

Arthur shifted his body just in time, twisting to the side as a grabbing hook whizzed past him. The metal claw screeched against the stone wall, embedding itself deep with a sharp clank. Arthur’s head snapped back to trace the line of the cable, and his gaze landed on the source—Black Manta, hurtling forward with his rocket thrusters roaring like thunder, sparks of fire trailing in his wake.

Arthur didn’t hesitate. He pivoted, slipping into another evasive...

King of the Seven Seas (EMH) Chapter 16: The Black Manta Attacks (2)

[Third Person POV]

Mera hauled herself up the last ledge and planted her boots firmly onto the rooftop. All around her, Mantamen—Black Manta’s loyal henchmen—closed in. They were clad in jet-black suits that mimicked their master’s infamous armor, though bulkier, less refined. Each carried high-tech water powered rifles humming with energy, and blades tucked along their sides, ready for close combat.

Some were stationed on the same rooftop, forming a semicircle around her,...

King of the Seven Seas (EMH) Chapter 15: The Black Manta Attacks (1)

[Third person POV]

Arthur and Mera woke the next morning in a rather compromising position. Arthur lay flat on his back, head tilted slightly to one side, while Mera was draped over his torso — mostly across his chest — her cheek resting where his heartbeat was slow and steady. For a few seconds, they simply stared at each other in groggy silence, eyes blinking at the same sluggish rhythm, until awareness hit them both and a faint heat crept into their faces.

There was somethi...

King of the Seven Seas (EMH) Chapter 14: Surface Cuisine

[Third person POV]

“What?! You’ve never tried ice cream?!” Arthur stopped dead in his tracks, staring at Mera as though she had lost her mind.

Mera tilted her head slightly, her long red hair shifting over her shoulder. “I don’t even know what that is,” she replied, her voice genuinely curious rather than defensive.

Arthur slapped a hand over his mouth and gave her the kind of look people reserved for tragic news. “You poor, poor child…”

“Stop looki...

King of the Seven Seas (EMH) Chapter 13: Shopping for Supplies (It's a Date)

[Third person POV]

Arthur jumped out of the back of the pickup truck, his boots hitting the dusty pavement with a dull thud. The air was warm here, smelling faintly of salt and oil. Without missing a beat, he turned and extended a hand toward Mera. She took it, letting him steady her as she hopped down, the sunlight glinting off her crimson hair.

Mera stretched languidly, her body arching after the cramped ride. Arthur, already moving toward the front of the truck, fished into a p...

King of the Seven Seas (EMH) Chapter 12: The Prince's Decree

[Third person POV]

Mera stood still in the water, her gaze fixed on the small wrist device secured to her arm. The screen shimmered faintly with a holographic projection of the globe, tiny blue indicators pulsing over the dark waters. From the readings, it was clear—they were still deep within the North Atlantic Ocean, swimming between the coastal waters of Ireland and France. Their trajectory pointed them directly toward the United Kingdom.

“We’re about to reach land,” Me...

King of the Seven Seas (EMH) Chapter 11: Undeniable Attraction

[Third person POV]

Arthur stared down at Mera in a mixture of embarrassment and lingering awkwardness, still reeling from the clumsy misstep he had made earlier. His cheeks were faintly flushed, though whether it was from the ocean breeze or the proximity of the woman before him, he couldn’t tell.

Mera’s hands rested lightly against his chest, her fingers splayed over the thumping of his heartbeat. A faint giggle escaped her lips.

For a long moment, the two simply gazed ...

King of the Seven Seas (EMH) Chapter 10: Beautiful as a Siren

[Third person POV]

Mera had both hands firmly pressed against Arthur’s injured leg, her palms glowing faintly with healing magic as she worked to mend the fractured bone. Her brow was furrowed in concentration. The bone shifted beneath her touch as the regenerative process began taking hold. After a few long moments, the glow faded, and she exhaled slowly through her nose, releasing the tension in her shoulders.

She turned to look at him and said, “Mending bones is a lot more ...

King of the Seven Seas (EMH) Chapter 9: The Great Escape

[Third person POV]

“Are you doing okay, Arthur?” Mera asked, glancing toward him with clear worry etched across her features.

Arthur was slouched in his seat, sweat mixing with saltwater and blood as he panted softly. He began to unclip parts of his golden Atlantean armor, gritting his teeth with every movement. Beneath it, his clothes were soaked through—blood leaking from three puncture wounds across his chest where Orm’s trident had pierced him.

He pressed a hand ...

King of the Seven Seas (EMH) Chapter 8: Battle of Kings (2)

[Third person POV]

Arthur reacted with razor precision. He swung his trident to the side, deflecting Orm’s incoming slash with a resounding clang, the impact releasing a burst of pressure that rippled through the water. Without missing a beat, he flipped his weapon to the opposite side, blocking another strike in rapid succession.

Each swing blocking the strikes, while Orm expertly dodged most of Arthur’s counterattacks.

He gritted his teeth, twisted his grip, and brough...

King of the Seven Seas (EMH) Chapter 7: Battle of Kings (1)

[Third person POV]

Arthur stood in silent preparation, the golden Atlantean armor gleaming as he secured it piece by piece over his body. The arm guards, shaped like sleek fins, slid snugly onto his forearms, while the rest of the armor shimmered like golden scales, hugging his body perfectly. He paused for a moment, lifting the ornate helm, staring into its polished surface.

He stared at it with silent intensity, lost in thought, when a familiar voice broke the quiet.

“Ad...

King of the Seven Seas (EMH) Chapter 6: Brothers

[Third person POV]

“ARGHHHH!!” Arthur cried as he was jolted awake with electricity. When he came to, he was already kneeling—his arms wrenched behind him, bound tightly by thick cold chains. Heavy collars circled his neck and ankles. Every small movement sent a harsh rattle echoing through the chamber, the clinking of metal loud in the otherwise hushed grandeur of the place.

He blinked through the haze, his muscles still aching from the electrocution. As his vision cleared,...

King of the Seven Seas (EMH) Chapter 5: Trident of Poseidon

[Third person POV]

Back to the Present:

“This was the only clue I have been able to find about the Trident of Poseidon, a weapon wielded by the first King Atlan,” Vulko said solemnly, his voice echoing slightly in the hollow remains of the wrecked ship. He placed the object he had been holding in front of him. It appeared almost like a device.

He carefully unsealed it and removed a rolled parchment inside. With reverence, he unfurled the scroll and laid it out across a f...

King of the Seven Seas (EMH) Chapter 4: Flashback

[Third person POV]

A Few Years Earlier…

A young 8-year-old Arthur sat alone on a jagged rock formation that jutted out over the shore, his legs dangling off the edge. His bare chest shimmered under the golden sun, his only attire being a pair of faded orange swim trunks clinging to his frame. The ocean stretched endlessly before him, each wave crashing rhythmically against the rocks below, but Arthur’s gaze wasn’t on the waves. His blue eyes were glassy, distant—lost somew...
