Matthew tried really hard to ignore the cursing from Alexander as he made his way through the bushes."Okay," he turned to Alexander who abruptly stopped his muttering. Matthew continued, "make sure you act normal. Try to blend in with the others- okay?""Yeah yeah alright whatever let's just get this done and over with." Alexander said grumpily and continued his muttering as he stepped into the clearing.Matthew and Alexander were wearing animal skins as disguise and blend in. Matthew decided he should look for June, so he disguised himself as much as he can. Now he looked completely unrecognisable as his face was entirely covered in some stuff he had puffed onto his face and his head was covered buy a round band of leaves and he was covered in bear skin. He drew fake scars on his arms and one long one across his right eye. He practiced changing his voice so the leader wouldn't recognise him by voice. He also went to a river nearby to change his hairstyle. When Matthew returned to th
Matthew, Alexander and June set a campfire by the shores, but they made sure it wasn't too near to the water. They thought that if they rested near water, they'll somehow end up in the next level of finding Atlantis.The waves gently brushed against the sand. June lay peacefully sleeping on a huge leaf. Matthew lay beside her, whereas Alexander would rather sleep on his own than sleep on the same leaf with gits.Matthew still lay wide awake, resting his head on his hands, staring into the starry sky. All he could do was just lay there and do nothing until he falls asleep. June tossed to the other direction facing him. Matthew knew that she was probably still awake."June? " he whispered. June opened her eyes and looked at Matthew, dazed."Is anything wrong?" June asked."No," Matthew sighed, "I was just wonder if you were awake.""Yeah I'm awake." June said as she sat up; Matthew sat up too."I was wondering, well—if you'd like to take a stroll around the island since we have nothing
As the villagers packed the entire village with meat and vegetables everywhere, Matthew and June sat in Suka's house, questioning him.“...then how did you get that?” Matthew pointed at the tooth-like souvenir with the symbol of water."This, Matthew."Suka placed the necklace in Matthew's hand."Is the only key to open what covers Atlantis. It's a secret door, no one knows about it except me and my tribe. The door will lead to a very secret part of the island which is highly protected. Look for the missing hole which will fit this key perfectly."Matthew stared at the tooth with great interest. He looked up," Wait- you're saying I can keep it?"Suka nodded."I need a break from being the guardian of this secret location, might as well step down and pass it on."June gasped with excitement as she hugged Matthew's left arm tightly. He looked at her and smiled; he looked back at Suka."Thank you," he said warmly yet gratefully. Suka nodded.Outside the hut, Matthew and June joined the f
As the sails drew nearer and nearer towards the shore of Satilant Island, Matthew raced past the trees as June followed. He ran back to the tree with the carved symbols."This could be leading us to Atlantis. Look! There's another tree with the symbol," Matthew said as he followed. There was a trail of trees with the symbols carved on them, leading the two all the way to the other side of the island. They stopped by a tree, which was the last one with the symbol; beyond that was just a huge stone wall."What now?" June asked."There should be a gap somewhere where we could put the tooth." Matthew said as he dragged his hand across the wall, trying to feel a gap. Suddenly he felt an edge. He looked at where his hand was at. There was a gap, shaped of a tooth."June! Look! This is it!" Matthew gasped excitedly. In a hurry, he pushed the tooth into the gap. Nothing. He pressed against the tooth. It seemed like a button, for a huge hole appeared beneath the two; and the next moment they w
As Matthew lay there in the silent hut, the caretaker ambled about, digging through loads of ingredients. June sat there, staring at Matthew. The hut was warm and was bathed in light; the light was so strong it managed to travel straight through the walls of the med hut, flooding it to the brim. June started to feel a little tired as she let put a yawn. She slowly settled herself down to her side next to Matthew. She felt a little awkward though.As haven't been mentioned, Matthew had to be bandaged, so his shirt and jacket had to be removed, and now the lower half of his upper body was bandaged, but June didn't care, she simply lay there. As she waited patiently for herself to fall asleep, she stared at Matthew, hoping to see those dazzling eyes she had been hoping to see. Turning to her back, June was now staring at the blank ceiling. There were just so many thoughts in her head, like how Suka was doing, whether Atlantis would be protected, if they would even win. Just as she was ab
Lindsey Miles alighted into the mouth of a cave---a silhouette figure against the outside daylight to the dark interiors of the cavern. She exhaled a smoky breath into the cool summer air of the Alaskan Denali mountains; panting as she did so. It has been a long and difficult trudge.A girl of 18, she was a petite and slender young lady in khaki shorts, warm tights, and an overcoat. Her long, wavy auburn hair formed a messy bun on her head. If not for the current situation she is in, Lindsey Miles would usually sport smiling brown eyes and a cheery demeanour. But today her eyes were full of serious contemplation and anxiousness as she surveyed the cavern infront of her.She couldn't believe what she was doing; hiking in the mountains on her own. She has managed so far, much to her self-amazement.She held a flash-light in her hand and waved it against the darkness, barely illuminating anything.She then felt for the crystal pendant on her necklace that re
25000 years ago...The little girl's eyes fluttered open from her deep slumber. Something had stirred her awake --- a strange warmth resonating inside of her, summoning her.The child of 2 years left her bed and in small tapping steps walked bare-footed in her long white robe across glistening marble-like floors to the large open terrace of her chamber where she could see the dark horizon waiting to burst into a dawn of light that would soon disperse the darkness around her. She stood in the middle of the terrace, overlooking as usual the dazzling splendor of the great city that welcomed her with a touch of the breeze fresh from the seas, her pure white hair swaying daintily with it. Reflected in her cyan blue eyes is a myriad of towering white marble fortresses that make up the city, blazing with inlays of gold, silver and other precious stones. Powerful winglies, which are large flying featherless pointy-snouted
The trip through the winding corridors of the huge fortress was enough time for the battle to intensify. Queen Tisha and her trail of maidservants could hear the wailings and cries of the winglies outside.They all halted on their feet."Something's not right, your highness," Anya, one of the priestess of the Kingdom and chief maidservant, uttered grimly. "Something terrible is happening."Queen Tisha stood sensitively still, breathing heavily, knowing that what Anya just said is true.Suddenly the fortress shook violently throwing everyone off their feet and onto the floor. Eleejah bursts out crying. It was evident that an enormous power has hit the fortress, it trembled against that power."Your highness, are we losing this battle?" one of the maidservants cried out."It looks as though we weren't ready for these invaders," another one spoke in fright. "They hold power that is greater than ours!""That is
