This Site Looks Best in Mozilla Firefox!Contents of Center Box Read Below For Site Plot Tales of mermaids are nearly universal. The first known mermaid stories appeared in Assyria, ca. 1000 BC. Atargatis, the mother of Assyrian queen Semiramis, was a goddess who loved a mortal shepherd and in the process killed him. Ashamed, she jumped into a lake to take the form of a fish, but the waters would not conceal her divine beauty. Thereafter, she took the form of a mermaid — human above the waist, fish below — though the earliest representations of Atargatis showed her as being a fish with a human head and legs, similar to the Babylonian Ea. But little did she no, the man was no Shepard. he was a king: someone who ruled a greater empire than the one she once lived in long ago. When the body of this dear Shepard was found, revenge spurred upon the lords of the Hevengail (The Empire that the murdered king ruled) and used vasts amount of money to find this blood thirsty killer. There evidence revealed that Atargatis was the one who killed the man. Assyrian told the other empire that they could not afford a war, and that the queen, there water god, was nowhere to be found. War broke out, and since there was no solid leadership in Atargatis's Kingdom, they fell like all other empires. The Lords of Hevengail captured hundreds of people and used them as slaves until they were no longer in need of assistance. Leaders of Atargatis's Kingdom were immediately slit in the throats for their intolerable actions to defend their kingdom. The rest who revealed no harm were used as slaves until they could no longer be assistance. When this happened, they mocked Atargatis by throwing the useless slaves into the see for drowning purposes. They laughed at Atargatis and sung to her foolishness. Atargatis heard the news of her fallen empire right before people were being thrown into the water to die. She wept and blamed herself for being such a foolish woman. Than bodies began to fall around her. Dead. Cold. Tears began to fall down her cheeks as she found her nanny dead on the ocean floor. But something magical happened. As her tears hit the nanny, the body started to turn back to a more lively color. Her legs formed into a fin like state. In a matter of a few minutes she was alive, and a mermaid like Atargatis. Hope began to come back to Atargatis as she soon figured out that her tears could bring back the lives of people and transform them into mermaids. With each person she brought back to life, her scales began to change into the blue color they once were. 10 years later, Atargatis healed enough people to bring back the empire she once had. Except it was underwater: a new world that has never been seen before. Men loyal to her made pitchforks and arrows to prepare for revenge against the Hevengail Empire. To Prepare for War. Take a side, and let fate be your compass...
