AN: So uh the evil plot bunny won't leave me alone on this one. I will be writing this at the same time as The Annoying Little Sister. I am not actively working on any other stories right now, except my chat fic, which updates as I get ideas.
Disclaimer: Bah. I owns nothing. I simply wish to own Riley...
"C'mon Ben, Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease?" Ben groaned. Riley's pouty face, complete with puppy dog eyes, was too much to resist.
"Okay, okay I will read it, if you don't read over my shoulder," Ben said. The younger man's face was the picture of glee.
"Awww thanks," Riley said. Ben almost snorted, as if there was any other option. Besides, it got Riley out of his hair for a while.
"Now go on, shoo," Ben ordered playfully. Riley slunk off to his favorite room in Ben's house, the kitchen. Ben flipped through the papers, glad they were typed instead of Riley's illegible scrawl. He chuckled to himself in anticipation and began to read…
Cibola
By Riley Poole

Abigail, for not killing me yet

PREFACE
So, if you're reading this, chances are you read my first book. But, if not (Ben), if you forgot (Ben), didn't feel the need to take the time, (Ben), had no idea I had even written a book (Abigail…), or was too busy 'moving' (Ben), than I'd like you to know that I appreciate your actually taking the time to read this one. And hopefully not because I had to make you. If you're not reading this book and any of the above applies to you (Abi, this probably means you), than I pity you for missing out on such a wonderfully told story.
Whether you read it or not, you should know that this is not a sequel to my first book. This is the story of how the City of Gold was really found. Told in first person by one of the finders, me, Riley Poole.
First of all, the papers have it all wrong, and they certainly didn't give us the whole story. But what on this green (usually) Earth did you expect from our media anyway?
Soooo, without further stalling for the purpose of a decent-length prologue (which I still haven't managed to accomplish here), I present to you the story of one of the seven long lost cities of gold. The real story of Cibola.
AN: Review!!
