-Desire-
A strong feeling of wanting to have something or wishing for something to happen.

Everything's quiet. The waters are peaceful. I was awaken by the bright sunlight shining through the window illuminating my room. I made my way to the Quarter Deck where my forest green eyes met his icy blue eyes followed by her chocolate brown ones. My two friends, Harry and Uma have joined me on my journey to find The Lost City of Atlantis. My name is Mal and this is our story.

**'Morning my purple jewel!**His British accent was like music to my ears. He came to me embracing me in a warm hug.
**Good morning sleepy head!** Uma joined our hug smiling at me.
**Hey guys! Anything new?** I asked hoping for some good news.
**Nothing yet ma'am!** Uma took out her telescope and searched the surroundings once again.
The day went on as usual. Uma searching for something that could lead us to our destination, Harry sharpening his hook, and I sailing the ship while the rest of the crew were doing their chores. It was quiet. Almost too quiet. I felt a sudden rush of energy fill my veins as my eyes turned bright green. I stopped the ship leaving everyone confused but Uma, who could also feel the magic surrounding us. I turned to look at her as she pointed towards the gap that was forming in the water leading to cold darkness. When the three of us leaned over the edge we could see a shining light coming from within. Before we figured out what it was, our ship was pulled into the deep opening.

Everything was quiet. And dark. I used my powers to create a fire, feelibg the waves that were moving the ship, signaling that we were still in the waters. I searched for Harry and Uma and found them near the edge looking at a tall figure disappearing in the distance over what looked like a bridge. There was no way back through that rift and the ship could not go any further so we left the crew behind, in hopes that they would find a way out while Uma, Harry and I began to follow that strange figure over the stone bridge.
