Myth Come True

Myth unfolds!

"There was once a civilization distinct from any other, their fields and surroundings are evergreen, every building is fortified with clay that shines as the sun stares, and an ocean so calm it creates a perfect reflection of the sky, for its era their agriculture and science are superior, they're the only civilization that is close in surpassing mortality, they are no deity but their lifespan exceeds any life form, that alone can be a reason for Gods to be threatened, Gods fear that one day, same as what they did to their ancestor titans, another race would overthrow them from being the ruler above all, so they plots to annihilate its people and its remains. They send a massive earthquakes that lasts long enough for any indication that a civilization that once lived there is vanquished, on the other hand Hestia the Goddess of hearth is opposed to it, she believes that any living things regardless of its worth in this world should have a place that they can feel safe to call home, another reason is that Hestia is loved by this said civilization, unfortunately Hestia understands that opposing the decision of the Gods will only create conflict between them, so she acted alone to prevent an inevitable event that will take lives of a thousand, the Goddess of hearth goes directly to the city and tells their people what's about to happen then promised that no one will get hurt and their architectures will be untouched but to compensate they will no longer be able to see the world, Hestia created a barrier that will prevent any harm to the city. This is the only way to protect them from Gods, to hide them eternally, by doing this not only she will prevent the Gods from annihilating them but also to hide the truth that she betrays the decision made by Gods."

Few days have past, though the city seems normally quiet the atmosphere is a lot different, all you can hear are whispers alone, a prayer for their salvation, a prayer for their beloved home, the moon started to cover the sun, a city that never darkens throughout the day suddenly filled with moon's shadow, the ground starts moving, the earthquake escalates and shakes the city continuously, the people are scared and they have to endure this feeling that will only stop after the moon and earth became equidistant to the sun, the earthquake pushed the whole city downwards, because of Hestia's protection the city instead shrinks underwater. Finally the light seems to reach the seabed and even in the brightest day the moon is visible, it is the day that they've waited and the suffering has finally ended, none is harmed neither are there any visible cracks from their buildings, everyone celebrates as the whole city is safe, Hestia visited the city underwater and checks if her barrier provide enough protection for the city, after being relieved that the barrier works perfectly, before she leaves she told a warning to the king, that if someone was ever to set foot in any land to see the world, the barrier will collapse making it vulnerable to unspoken creatures and the water that surrounds it will start to gush in. The city's current queen then created a folktale that will prevent their people in trying to leave the city."

"Are you liking the story so far?" The teacher asked, her student seems to be confused, why would a teacher even tell a story to kids about Gods making others suffer but one in particular was fascinated by the story "Woah, I want to go there! I want to go there!" A kid that has a very excited look on her face shouts, the teacher smiled as if she is happy that someone is amazed by the story, "It's only a fiction sweetheart the place never really existed." the teacher calmly explained but the kid doesn't seem to buy it and gave her a furrowed eyebrows then gave her a question that she couldn't instantly answer "You didn't even tried searching for it, how would you know if that place never existed?" the teacher slowly walks towards the kid, the kid seems to be scared then the teacher pats her in the head and suddenly whisper "Good point, now if you really want to find that place, search for me when you're old enough to explore and I'll give you a tool that can be useful" the teacher winked then continues with the story, the kid loses interest as the story progress since the lost city is not the focus of the story, the bell rung the noise of her classmates make while talking hurts her ears, apparently the kid has a sensitive ears so she covers it and run towards the hall, to her classmates she seems odd so she never really made any friends. This kid name is Amelia Watson, Amelia or Ame as her family calls her is part of the Watson family with physician as their main profession, Amelia spends her time mostly on searching for different creatures and reading books, she always holds her magnifying glass wherever she goes and use it to look at the smallest creatures she finds, to make it short Amelia is a very curious girl that wants to understand how things work and how strange occurrence became possible.
