Chapter 15 - Chapter 14: Atlantis

Warning: Explosion at the end

The next day, I arrived on a sandy island. I grabbed my bag, got off my raft, and began to walk around. I fell down a hole in the sand. I screamed.

I slid down a see-through tunnel in the sea. I saw penguins with black feathers, white stomachs, and orange beaks swim by me. I smiled. I saw a black whale with a white stomach and white splotches around its eyes swim by me. I smiled. I saw a blue whale with a hunched back swim by me. I smiled. I suddenly stopped.

I got out of the tunnel. There was a giant black machine that looked like a lobster with red eyes and green, glowing markings along its back that looked like swirls. It threw its claw down. I ran forward.

I looked around. I was on a giant aquamarine floating island with stone sculptors surrounding it. I gasped. Never in my 15 years of travel had I ever seen anything like this. I walked farther into the island. There was a blue palace that looked like the one in Corona with a giant blue crystal with grey tablets above it. I bumped into a girl with brown skin, green eyes, white hair going down to her waist, with blue markings below her right eye, above her chest, and on her arm wearing gold, triangular earrings, a blue crystal necklace, a light blue bra, a grey, feather sleeve on her left arm, a dark blue skirt with two red marks on it with yellow outlines, and a light blue cloth hanging down in the middle of it. "Hi, I'm Kida. Who are you?" She questioned.

"I'm Anna." I replied.

"How did you find Atlantis?".

"WAIT, I'M ATLANTIS!?" I questioned excitedly.

"Yes, now, how did you find us?".

"I fell down a hole.".

"Interesting Let me take you to my father.". She took my hand.

Kida took me to an old man with brown skin, a white beard, and bushy eyebrows. They were blue swirl markings on his bald head and lines on top of his nose. He wore a light blue robe with two thin, dark blue lines along the sleeves. The front of the robe had two gold lines running down it and had a pattern of one blue diagonal line and two red diagonal lines running down. "Kida, whose this?" He asked Kida.

"I'm Anna." I told him.

"Where are you from?".

"Corona.".

"Where's that?".

"In the Seven Kingdoms.".

"That is on the surface, isn't it?".

"Yep.". The old man turned to Kida. "Kida, you know how I feel about visitors.". His tone was disapproving.

"I know, but," Kida explained.

"Oh, I can go." I announced. I ran back out of the palace.

I ran back to the tunnel. I tried to run back up it, but it was too steep. I turned back to look at Kida and her father, who both had disapproving looks on their faces. "You know what? You can stay." Kida's father told me. We went back to the palace.

We went into a room with a blue table, chairs, walls, and floors. I sat down to a white plate with what looked like a brown chicken wing on it. I picked it up and took a bite out of it. It tasted like chicken. "Yum! What is this?" I questioned after I swallowed.

"Parrot Lizard." Kida replied.

"Oh!" I explained.

After dinner, I went outside. I pulled out a pink blanket from my blue bag. I pulled out a journal and began to write.

10/5/1633

Dear Journal,

Today I arrived in... Atlantis! As crazy as it sounds, I found Atlantis! I am staying with my new friend, Kida.

Sincerely,

Arianna

I put my journal beside my bed, laid down, and went to sleep.

A year and a third later, I found Kida riding on a grey, stone flying machine that looked like a piranha with glowing eyes above the island. She landed the machine next to me. "Anna, want to hop on?" She questioned.

"Yeah." I replied as I hopped on behind her. The machine flew up. We flew around the island. I could see a blue disk with rock formations on it when I looked down.

That night when I got back to the palace, after I had gotten ready for bed, I pulled out a journal and began to write.

2/14/1635

Dear Journal,

Today I rode on a flying machine with Kida! It was amazing!

Sincerely,

Arianna

I put my journal beside my bed, laid down, and went to sleep.

A year and a third later, I found Kida riding on a giant, red crab. "Woah!" I exclaimed. It tried to pinch me.

"Patricia," Kida called. The crab turned to look at her. "Uh-uh" Kida told the crab. Patricia frowned. She bent down. I climbed on. She walked around the stone island.

That night when I got back to the palace, after I had gotten ready for bed, I pulled out a journal and began to write.

6/15/1636

Dear Journal,

Today I rode on a giant crab, Patricia with Kida. That was fun!

Sincerely,

Arianna

I put my journal beside my bed, laid down, and went to sleep.

Three weeks later, there was an explosion from the crystal. I was pushed out of Atlantis by the blue energy.
