Chapter 10- Beneath the Surface

Emily's words echoed.

"The real threat."

John's curiosity peaked.

"What do you mean?"

Emily hesitated.

"Karl discovered something."

"A hidden city, beneath the waves."

"Atlantis-like, but real."

John's skepticism faltered.

"Proof?"

Emily nodded.

"Karl's research. Echo-12."

"A key to unlocking it."

John's mind reeled.

Implications enormous.

Humanity's understanding. Of the ocean's secrets.


Emily handed John.


A small, encrypted drive.


"Karl's life's work."


"Study it, John."


"Understand the threat."


John's determination solidified.


Uncover the truth.


Protect humanity.



Emily's voice broke.


His concentration.


"We must be careful."


"Others seek the city."


"Will stop at nothing."


John nodded.


"I'm ready."


Together, they planned.


Expedition preparations complete.


Neptune's Chariot, ready.

Hydrothermal vents gleamed.


Bioluminescent creatures danced.


The hidden city emerged.


Majestic, ancient architecture.


Pyramids, temples.


John's awe echoed.


"Unbelievable."


Emily nodded.


"Karl's discovery."


The submarine docked.


John and Emily suited up.


Stepped into the unknown.


City's entrance guarded.


Ancient statues.


Eyes glowing.


"Welcome, John," a voice whispered.


"Karl's legacy."
