[SIZE=1][CENTER][B]Atlantis[/B]

[I]'At the centre of the island, near the sea, was a plain, said to be the most beautiful and fertile of all plains, and near the middle of this plain about fifty stades inland a hill of no great size... There were two rings of land and three of sea, like cartwheels, with the island at their centre and equidistant from each other... in the centre was a shrine sacred to Poseidon and Cleito, surrounded by a golden wall through which entry was fobidden...
There was a temple to Poseidon himself, a stade in length, three hundred feet wide, and proportionate in height, though somewhat outlandish in appearance. The outside of it was covered all over in silver, except for the figures on the pediment which were covered with gold... Round the temple were statues of all the original ten kings and their wives, and many others dedicated by kings and private persons belonging to the city and its dominions...?
?'Two springs, hot and cold, provided an unlimited supply of water for appropriate purposes, remarkable for its agreeable quality and excellence; and this they made available by surrounding it with suitable buildings and plantations, leading some of it into basins in the open air and some of it into covered hot baths for winter use.
Here seperate accommodation was provided for royalty and commoners, and, again, for women, for horses, and for other beasts of burden...
?The outflow they led into the grove of Poseidon, which (because of the goodness of the soil) was full of trees of marvellous beauty and height, and also channelled it to the outer ring-islands by aquaducts at the bridges. On each of these ring islands they had built many temples for different gods, and many gardens and areas for exercise some for men and some for horses... Finally, there were dockyards full of triremes and their equipment, all in good shape...'
'Beyond the three outer harbours there was a wall, beginning at the sea and running right round in a circle, at a uniform distance of fifty stades from the largest ring and harbour and returning in on itself at the mouth of the canal to the sea. This wall was densely built up all round with houses and the canal and the large harbour were crowded with vast numbers of merchant ships from all quarters, from which rose a constant din of shouting and noise day and night.'
-Plato[/I][/CENTER]

The ground shook under the young girl?s feet. The sky was growing darker and the girl took off towards the center of the island. A man in his late forties grabbed the girl?s hand and drugged her in the other direction.

?Papa, what is going on?? The girl looked into her father?s eyes while they ran to there home.

?It?s the gods. They are angered at us daughter!? Her father gripped her arm tighter bringing her inside their house. Towards the back of the far wall they climb down a set of steps. In the center of the room was a huge quartz crystal.

The girl gasped. ?Father you can not be serious.?

?Yes, you must go inside. It is the only way to save you.? A grey cat darted towards the girl and jumped up on her should. ?Daughter you must get in now. Hector is doing the same with his child.?

The girl nodded. Walking over to the quartz crystal and inside was a bed like space. Laying down she placed her cat Artemis after the Goddess of the Moon and Hunt. Her father brought down the lid and she touched the orb the hung around her neck. ?I love you Father.? Was the last thing she said before she was whisked away into slumber.

The sea rumbled as Poseidon commanded the waves to bring Atlantis down. The old man looked at his daughter now sleeping inside the crystal. ?You will be safe now.? The wave crashed and swept the old man away. Many of the crystal people put one of their family members in were destroyed. Poseidon had conferred with the other Gods before and they agree to let two people live. Poseidon was aloud to chose which two would be aloud to remain alive. He chooses the young girl and Hector?s child to remain alive, but they will sleep. They would awake one day but the years and eras will go by before the two would awaken.

?Do you really think we found the lost city of Atlantis?? They scientist asked through his mask to the others.

?Of course what else could it be. It?s just like Plato?s description. It so beautiful here. I would have loved to see it before it found its way to the bottom of the Atlantic.? A female voice could be heard through the headsets.

?Guys over here. You won?t believe this.? An oval shape covered in coral was over while the shape were the guy stood. Clown fish other aquatic life darted in and out of the coral.

?It?s quartz!? The girl stated in shear awe. Knocking a few pieces of the coral away she saw a face. With a quick sweep of her hand she brushed more and more away. ?Oh my God.? The young girl?s face was still as was when she was placed in the quartz.

?There is another one over here. Man we are going to go down in History for this.?

?Lets get these on the boat.? The three worked and tied each piece of quartz careful. The crane had a bit trouble at first bring them up because of the weight but after a couple of hours the team had brought both of the quartz vessels on the boat.

The team brought out tools and started to get the seal off the crystal to examine the people inside. With the tap of the small hammer the top went up. The team jumped. The orb around the girl?s neck blinked and fluttered into different colours. The girl started to move and blink her eyes. With s stretch she yawns and sat up. The cat that was lying on her chest got up and started to clean itself. The girl gasped and pulled back kin fright.

?It?s okay don?t worry.? The female scientist moved to her. ?Don?t be afraid.?

The girl pulled back more. She couldn?t understand what they were saying. She saw the other crystal bed and ran towards it. Placing her hand on a part of the crystal it moved up. The team watched at what she was doing. The quartz lid popped open and the two conversed for a few minutes. The team of scientist could understand the two, but they were sure what ever they were saying was serious.

The girl turned around and touched the orb the hung around her neck. ?Hello.? She had hoped they could understand her now. ?Can you tell what happened to our home??

?Hi. Do you mean Atlantis?? The girl nodded. ?It?s gone it has been centuries.? The grin frowned towards her friend. ?Why don?t we all go below deck and talk. They headed towards they crew eating area and the two Atlaneans began telling what had happened before they were placed asleep.

?We will have to keep the two of you safe. Many out there will try to hurt you.? The youngest of the scientist told them.
