Ant was asking me a few questions about Spark and my magic, I had told Kaiko, Will and Fontaine about her so I didn't need to do any secret food stealing. I was drawing some ideas for a Night. Ant told me I needed one at some point so I got it over with. He also asked what my favorite colour was so the professor could order a wetsuit for me, something came up on Ants computer, I only saw it for a second before he grabbed my wrist and started running to the study.

"Dad, you need to see this..."

"... The stolen salvage vessel was searching for a Dutch Trader sunk in the seventeenth century" Ant said pacing to length of one table to the next

"Uh huh" Will mumbled

'Well he's not listening' I thought shaking my head, Spark nuzzled my arm, I was holding her while watching Ant pace

"It was carrying a fortune in gilders, when it was pulled into the sea by giant grappling hooks" Ant said confusion filling his voice at the last sentence, he stopped in front of me and Kaiko who had her arms crossed and didn't look too impressed

"Hmm" I hummed trying to figure out why that felt familiar, I looked at Ant but he just shrugged

"That sounds great" Will mumbled as he kept staring at the screen in front of him

"Huh?" Ant said, this time he looked at me and it was my turn to shrug

"The salvage vessel was last seen orbiting the earth being towed by martians singing Jingle bells" Kaiko said looking madder by the second

"Yep, I'll get to it tomorrow" Will said still keeping his eyes on the screen

"Will!" Kaiko said startling him so that he looked at her

"Huh? What?"

'I'd be terrified if I was in his place right now, Kaiko can be scary' I shivered at the thought

"Look I know finding the scroll was important-" Kaiko started but Will cut her of

"Important? This could be the key to lost Lemuria Kaiko. This is what my parents were searching for, important just doesn't quite cover it" He explained. Kaiko's angry expression changed to one of saddnes

The study door opened and Fontaine walked in with a cup of coffee

"I brought you another coffee Dad" She said

"Thanks Fontaine, just put it over there" Will said going back to his work

"You mean with all the other coffees you haven't drunk?" Fontaine said slightly annoyed gesturing to the table with at least 8 coffees on it

"Agh! Still no match!" Will yelled banging his hand on the table

"What are you trying to match?" Ant asked as we walked over to Will

"This looks like an Ancient map but it doesn't match any modern topography" Will said

"What do these symbols mean?" Ant asked

"I'm not sure" Will answered

"Japan, China and a few other counties use symbols, could it be an old version of one of those?" I asked, also trying to help find answers

"I've already checked, Lemurians had a whole nother language" Will answered again

I made the shape of and 'o' with my mouth. Well damn, now I feel useless. Ant put a hand on my shoulder like he was saying: 'Good idea though'

"A location maybe? But their in a lost language, no one alive today can read them" Will continued

"There's one person who might be able to" Kaiko said
