The few days after the attack had been very busy for Cait. Atlantis didn't run itself and there was so much to do it wasn't even funny. Cait knew what her father did and what went into running a kingdom, but she never realized how tiring it was. Cait was exhausted at the end of each day. She collapsed on her bed in the evening and didn't move until sunrise.

The work was hard, but thankfully the council was supportive and so was Lord Garth. They got through the few days while Arthur was recuperating from his injuries. When the royal physician informed her that Arthur would be ready to resume his responsibilities, Cait readied herself to go home to San Francisco.

She was in her room gathering a few things to take back with her since she had very little there.

"By the gods of the Underworld I will do it," she said. "Atlantis has brought me nothing but grief and misery. I /died/ for this kingdom and on top of that it wants to deny me the one small chance at happiness I can get in my life. To the underworld with Atlantis and her demands. To the underworld with you." Cait turned on a heel to leave. She was two seconds away from crying and she would not cry in front of Arthur.

	"If you keep walking, you will always regret it. I know you think you're in love, that its your one chance at being happy - but all of this is who you are. You're right, you died for this... I've died for this. Atlantis... and the line of succession, have to come first. I love you, Cait... but I won't have you throw away Atlantis' future." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Cait paused, but didn't turn around to face him. "I am not Atlantis. I am a person. Flesh and blood. It's about time you and Atlantis remember that. I love you too, Father, but I will not let Atlantis run my life. You have Ash and Koryak to rule Atlantis. I want no part of it."

Cait took a deep breath.

"Goodbye, Father."

She grabbed the bag by the door and started to walk out. Somehow she managed to not start crying.

	Arthur wants to punch something. He wants to yell. He can force her to do a lot of things - but he can't force her to rule. She has to choose to be a princess, if she's ever going to be one. It has to be her choice... or she has to leave. There's no middle option. "Goodbye... Cait." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait put her chin up and walked through the royal palace. Her home she would never see again. She walked out of the royal palace and stood in the courtyard. For a second she thought about asking Ty to teleport her back to San Francisco, but what she needed was to be alone and the open ocean. She walked to the shore and dove into the water.
