Mystic

Chapter 11

    I woke up and helped Sonia with taking down the "tent". I woke up Laurence and boarded Bristlecone, my dragon. Today we dived. We wanted to have enough time to explore. We were on the exact place we needed to be based on the map. There is a map on the back of the torn pieces of paper. It helped us find where we were. Today is the day. Today we dive.

" We all have our bubbles set up right?" Sonia said. We all nodded.

" We are all wearing our necklaces right? " Sonia asked. Once again we all nodded.

I was about to say something but then we plunged into the deep icy waters. Cold surrounded me. All I felt was down. Down Down Down, Till we reached the bottom of the ocean. It felt like it took forever, but it was probably only a single day. It was impossible to sleep or eat, but I wasn't hungry, just extremely exhausted. I ran into Laurence and flopped into the sand when I noticed something.

"The sand is dry." I declared.

It wasn't just dry, there was no water even though we were 10 thousand feet into the ocean. I was breathless. Laurence looked pale and Sonia looked as if she was ready to murder someone. I turned around to see a enormous room, like a museum. On the wall, there was a sign that said that the art pieces on Earth were copies and the ones in the museum were original. At the sight of this, Sonia relaxed and Laurence gasped. Sonia and I looked at each other.

"Monet!?" I exclaimed.

"Nicholas Callan!?" Sonia yelled shaking.

"Da Vinci!?" I said excitedly.

We both ran separate ways, and Laurence sighed and put his hands in his pockets. He looked worried, but I decided to leave him alone. I left him to do his thing of making mischief. He wandered a separate way.

"Search ALL edges of all the paintings." I said. "look for any extra words, phrases, letters or suspicious doodles or drawings. They probably won't be in the center of the frame, but you will never know and if you see any Dracolich tell me."

I headed off to the 1000 section, because Dracolic was a ancient language. I didn't find anything. I looked in the France section and did not find anything else. After, I looked in the Europe section and found a few doodles. I scratched them off and tucked them into my smallish green bag. Sonia looked in the China section, the 1800 section and the India section and found nothing. Laurence... Well he found something in the North America section and in the, Greek section.

"Oi!" Laurence yelled, "why did the Earth folk spend their time on buildings?". I turned around and looked at him.

"Look at the sculpt, and the basic build is fantastic! Cassandra, what is this?" Sonia asked.

"It's the Pantheon, a earth wonder. The Greek Pantheon was ruled by a council of twelve great gods known as the Olympians, namely Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Demeter, Athena, Hephaestus, Ares, Aphrodite, Apollon, Artemis, Hermes, Dionysus, and sometimes Hestia. Everyone visited it and cherished it."

Sonia yelled and Laurence laughed. "What's with all the statues? They are so creepy." Laurence inquired.

"It was a way to honor the gods." Sonia said, "my mom once told me stories about this. Use the numbing salve to help remove any stains and use your foot, I mean kick the statue. And don't die, that would be bad".

We found a few stains in the statues and met up in the lobby. The lobby was a bright green room were there were Van Gogh's paintings. There were enormous Salmon lamps and a salmon strapped on a wall. There also was a large birch table with grey fluffy chairs with a Salmon pillow. The table had a Salmon stain, which made the whole place slightly more creepy.

I spread my findings on the salmon colored rug, and told the others to do the same. We discussed it to a point where all I remember them saying is to keep the stuff and head to Sonia's birthplace, The Island of Thorns.
