A Journey Through Time

Chapter Seven: A Wrong Turn

"Gosh, where are we?" muttered Alexandra, shaking the water off her face from their dive in the lake.

"That, I don't know. But what I do know, is that the orb is somewhere down in that lake. It has to be!"

"Oh yea? well how are you positive!?" 

"I have no idea where else we haven't looked..."

They trudged through the thick mud in the lake until they were up to their shoulders, then they dived.

 Jacob looked around only able to see because of the curious masks the town wizard, Kardji, had given them. the masks also made them able to breathe underwater for a short amount of time, then it drained water in to hold in excess air. 

"What is that!?" yelled Alexandra, almost so loud as to release the air from her mask by popping the holy water-reinforced bubbles on the outside.

"What? Where!?" exclaimed Jacob, turning his head in all different directions to find what Alexandra saw. "Oh..."

Just a few feet under them, was an ancient looking temple, covered in sea-moss and other aquatic plants and creatures.

They swam in, and fell onto a dry layer of a cold, hard, blue stone.

"Woah..." muttered Jacob, admiring the stuctural supports of the temple.

"Huh?" Alexandra groaned, having fallen face-first on the floor.

"I say we search the corridor. You know, for hidden pathways or something! You never know what you'll find in these places..."

After a thorough search, and many false alarms, they finally decided to go down the left corridor...
