The King of Atlantis had the weight of the oceans on his shoulders and an empty hole inside of him. He had been going through the motions of running Atlantis, but his heart and head weren't in it. He could only think of Mera, Cait and Koryak. The family that had been violently ripped from him.
Arthur was up early as he was every morning. Sleep didn't come easy and the king spent his time trying to distract his thoughts, but they always came back to Cait, Mera and Koryak.
He had failed them all. He couldn't protect them and they had died because of him. There had been visits to the family crypt to apologize to them, but he would never forgive himself.
He realized now that he never deserved them. The three of them had been incredible individuals and he had only been an asshole around them. Especially Cait. He realized now that he had been too hard on his daughter. Cait had deserved support and all he had given her was opposition and resistance. She would always be the best of him and he had only shown her the worst in him. He regretted his actions and he could never tell her. She had died without knowing how proud he was of her and how sorry he was for the way he acted.
