No one P.O.V

Atlas stood his ground at the castle gates alone. It was his job after all. And he was very good at it. Many had called him names because of this fact however. Cold, emotionless,heartless he never seemed to show any emotion anyway so what did they care? Atlas wasnt effected however, he knew better then to listen to hate.

However deep down he really wanted to show the real him, but he wasnt allowed to for his job. And so no one knew his secret. Atlas snapped out of train of thought when he saw a figure in the distance of the dark blue waters that surrounded them.

Atlas squints and looks into the distance. His eyes glow bright and he holds his spear tightly in his claws.

They swim closer and atlas prepares for anything. Soon they come into atlas's view and his gills raise at the sight of a possible threat. It seemed to be a mermaid who was looking around annoyed but bored.

The mysterious figure was a purple tubby with an orange tail and bright golden eyes. Atlas sees the slits in their eyes however and readys his weapon in case it is needed. The mermaid seeming tubby was a siren and according to his boss sirens were forbidden from the palace.

Lots of things were said about sirens, lots os awful things, however some rumors were true and some weren't. Atlas was all for not believing stereotypes but he didnt want to get fired.

The siren tubby stopped in front of him slightly, a good distance apart. They stare into eachothers eyes in deep silence for a while. Atlas tries to not fall into the hypnotizing gaze of the sirens Golden eyes, to which he secretly calls beautiful in his head.

The siren breaks their gaze. "Let me in to the castle and get out of my way" they say simply. Atlas shakes his head. "Name" atlas says, not actually needing to know this for his job, but wanting to know this for himself.

The stranger did not need to know this information however and atlas was forever gonna keep that locked with the rest of his secrets he held inside. "Blixion..." the siren hissed, feeling a little annoyed now.

"I can not let you in" atlas choked out, already just wanting to go home or compliment the siren tubby.

His tail swishes behind him nervously. Blixion looked at his tail and smirked a little, seeing he was nervous.

"Look I'm not a bad guy Alrighty, so...just let me through big guy and I can be on my way" Blixion purred slightly as he said this, getting closer to atlas.

Atlas doesnt understand what is happening, the feeling in his chest is strange. He grows very confused, this being the first time he had ever felt such feelings. "I..i... I need proof that the king wants to see you.." atlas choked out after a while, turning away.

The castle doors opened that very moment and atals freezes back into position. "The king has been  awaiting your arrival come on" the butler called. "And go back to working you useless fish" they told atlas.

Blixion glared a little at the butler, having heard the insult. He looked ti atlas who seemed cold and unfeeling like always but blixion knew better.

He swam off Into the castle after a short look at atlas.

(Afterwards-)

He swims out again and atlas still stands there. "So they don't treat you very nice here" blixion noted as he swam by atlas. He was silent.

"Why domt we get to know eachother after your off of work big guy?" Blixion suggested. Atlas slowly nodded.
