The Hunt begins
I'm a bit of an amateur at writing but I thought I'd would give it a try if this does OK I'll post the next chapter in a week or so also you will have to forgive my poor grammar I try to spell correctly but am poor when it comes to commas and apostrophes and such I hope you enjoy this story it takes place shortly after the incident at Yamatai.
Disclaimer I do not own or have any connections with the tomb raider franchise
There was a boat in the Mediterranean sea called the Odyssey sitting at a table with a map and rather old looking books and journals scattered across the table. Hovering over this table was a woman in her early thirties her name was Lara. Sitting next to her was her best friend Sam. Damn! she cried out in frustration they had been hunting for a lost city and not just any lost city a city that had been spoken of for ages in stories and myths and legends they were hunting for Atlantis. And had thought they knew what to do but had just met dead end after dead end over and over again. She knew it was here somewhere she could almost taste it but where was it. Was the secret in a chamber somewhere perhaps maybe in a scroll hidden by some subliminal message she felt by the rate they were going it might as well be in the center of the earth because that's what it felt like. Sam standing beside her said in a comforting voice its OK Lara you'll get it eventually you always do your about a smart as everyone on this boat combined. If only that were true she said but it is true remember when we were looking for Yamatai Sam said? Yes said Lara. Well you were right about and your gonna get this. Lara smiled and said thank you I needed that. It seemed just as this conversation was over the captain of the ship said over the intercom. We will be arriving at our destination in a few minutes please prepare to leave the vessel.
Sam said so pass it by me again why are we going here? Because Lara said this island was Crete. Ooooook Sam said and that's important because? Lara then said its important because people believe Crete to have been the lost city of Atlantis! It was the greatest civilization on earth unparalleled technology and military some say that they were so skilled in naval battles that the enemies ships were destroyed before the battle even began. OK that's interesting and all Sam said but what makes you think it will still be there? Entire cities don't just disappear Lara said I don't think that it was destroyed I think that the city is somewhere else and I'm going to find it. What makes you think they weren't destroyed in the volcanic eruption Sam said. These people weren't stupid said Lara they must've known about the volcano and I think that they would've built a city here without having a backup plan. And Sam said so you think the city was destroyed but you think that they had a how do I put this backup city. Well that's one way to put it Lara said. Whatever you say said Sam I'll support you.
But when we do find this city what's so great about dusty old building's. Dusty old buildings Lara said! This is an extremely sophisticated and ancient civilization it will be an archaeological breakthrough. That's nice Sam said digging up old fossils and stuff isn't really my thing though. You can look for that while I look for boys on the beach. That's not all Lara said. Ok what else is there Sam said. The Atlantians also were very very rich. You've got my attention Sam said. Legend says they were in the possession of a saphire so massive that you couldn't fit your arms around it they called it the jewel of the sea. That's speaking figuratively right Sam said? If Atlantis is real said Lara then that saphire probably is to. Just then they made land Lara strapped a gun to her hip and said time to go. Sam said what's that for pointing at the gun? In case we run into any trouble said Lara ever since Yamatai I decided its best to prepare for all situations. Well let's hope we won't need it said Sam well we don't always get what we hope for said Lara.
