"Ye shall not be frightened of God."
~※~

"Well, it's kinda easy to bring these with us, you know."

"Siguro pwede nating i-pull toh?" tanong ko nalamang sabay turo doon sa isa pang golden small statue. It's small and heavy but it's worth taking it.

"Hmm, pwede na rin. Para may pera tayo pagdating roon," sabi ni Lisandrei. Nasa isang templo kami ngayong puno ng kayamanan. Nagkita kami nila Lisandrei at Lolo sa gitna ng syudad. Yung may sabi kong lumiliwanag sa gitna ng lahat. Yung naka submerge sa tubig. Ano kaya yung sinag sa ibaba?

Kung nagtataka kayo kung nasaan yung ibang mga kasamahan namin, pinabalik namin sa ship. Wala na kasing naiwan doon. Baka lalayag na yun sa malayo o ano. Well, I'm pretty sure Lisandrei and Gramps had to anchor it down. Ang problema, baka may nasabitan ito sa ibaba.

Mason told us earlier that the city of Atlantis is half submerged. This means our anchor might be stuck in some building below. Mahirap itong i-pull mamaya. Plus, Jinsei reported to us earlier about the sirens. Bago ko lang din nalaman ang nangyari sa kanila at kay Lisandrei. Tsk, if I had been there, I could have helped her prevent that. I want to murder those sirens already.

We're in a den of them. Nahulog nga dao si Jinsei kasama pa si Seref. This place is like a dome, so the voices probably echoed. Kaya siguro na-hypnotize si Jinsei at napatalon.

It was dangerous for them to return just by their own kaya pinasama namin si Lolo sa kanila. He volunteered to be exact. Parang galit nga ito dahil sa nangyari kay Seref. The way he looks at Seref was as if the child was his grandaughter! Well, mabait naman talaga ang Seref namin. Kaya siguro willing mag-protekta ang grumpy na si Lolo.

Still, those Sirens sure are bold to approach the ship. Hah, humanda sila pagbalik ni Lolo. If they try that trick again, Gramps will cut the whole bunch of them underwater. That was part of the deal anyway. He has to keep all of them safe back there.

Kaya't kami nalamang dalawa ni Lisandrei ang nandito sa templong puno ng kayamanan. Napagdesisyunan naman namin na bumalik sa ship at kumuha ng mga kagamitang pangkuha ng mga kayamanan.

If you're wondering where Ulric is, he's busy trying to find a way to uncover the light beneath the sea back in the central part of the city. Yung maraming pathway papuntang gitna. Hindi niya alam na nakakita na kami ng jackpot. Hindi rin ata niya alam ang nangyari kanila Seref. I'm not sure if Jinsei already told him the whole story. He's not the type to tell the whole thing. If he ever finds out the severity of danger Seref was in, he might kill Jinsei.

Kanina, todo iwas siya sa aming dalawa ni Lisandrei at agad nagpaalam pabalik sa sentro ng syudad. Seriously, that idiot...

On the way out of the central city, we encountered a close temple. Mason managed to open the place safely and it led us to a treasury. If Ulric were with us earlier, he would have gotten nuts. All of us were interested of the money except Lolo. But Lisandrei and I had to do the stealing.

Baka kasi papagalitan kami ng mga tao ng Atlantis. Mas mabuting kami nalamang ang ma-bad luck kaysa yung mga kasamahan namin. It's actually one of those sayings of old people. And, me as a believer of a certain Goddes now, believe these kinds of sayings too.

Sa dating mundo ko, parang naging taboo na ito. Hindi na kapanipaniwala. But when I got in this world, I am now believing those sorts of things.
