Treasure of Atlantis
Prologue- Glimpses of our lives
The night was lit with the stars in the sky. They glittered like diamonds on the island kingdom. The buildings gleamed in the starlight, giving them an ethereal look. The sea gently caressed the shores of the island. It was a beautiful sight to see from the serene sea.
Two figures watched the island from the boat as it slipped away. Both were cloaked to hide their identity. The younger one stared at the island with pride and love. The older one watched with concern. She prayed that the others would be able to leave tomorrow as planned.
~I pray you'll be our eyes, and watch us where we go.
And help us to be wise in times when we don't know
Let this be our prayer, when we lose our way
Lead us to the place, guide us with your grace
To a place where we'll be safe~
The younger one turned to her companion, "Is it beautiful, High Priestess?"
The Priestess forced a smile at her young charge, "Yes, Princess. It is very beautiful. I will miss it greatly when we get to Greece."
"Is Greece as pretty?"
"It is in it's own way. You will like it there."
"I hope so. Why are we leaving?"
"Because we have incurred the wrath of a terrible man. He has threaten to destroy our home for helping his enemies."
"How can he?"
"I don't know, Princess. But your father will not take any chances and ordered us to leave tonight. I pray this is all for naught."
The child was about to voice her agreement when the sea began to turn violent. The Priestess grabbed her charge and held on for dear life. The boat began to rock, threatening to over turn. The two passengers watched in fear as the waves got higher and higher. The island kingdom was battered by the waves. Laughter rang out from the sky. The Priestess shielded the child from view as she watched their home begin to sink into the sea. The child gave a strangled cry as she tried to break away. The Priestess held her tight.
~La luce che tu hai (The light you have)
I pray we'll find your light
nel cuore rester¨ (Will be in the heart)
and hold it in our hearts.
a ricordarci che (To remind us that)
When stars go out each night,
eterna stella sei (You are the eternal star)~
Soon the sea began to settle, and act as if nothing had happened. The island was gone and the laughter stopped. The priestess let go of the child as she began to cry. The child ran to the railing of the boat and began crying for her family who were still on the island. The little girl collapsed to the deck and cried as her heart was ripped into two.
The priestess walked over and hugged the child. Their hoods were knocked down in the sudden storm. The Priestess brushed a hand over the little girl's copper curls. The young girl cuddled closer as she cried.
The priestess whispered gently, "I know it's hard, Princess Kaori. Your family will live on in you. We are all that is left of Atlantis. We must continue on and not let Arcanius win. While you live, he has failed to punish Atlantis."
The child nodded as she looked out across the sea. To the place where her home once stood proud and beautiful. Soon the sea faded away and a temple replaced it. The girl was older now, nearing her seventeenth birthday.
~Nella mia preghiera (how much faith there's)
Let this be our prayer
quanta fede c'¨¨ (In my prayer)
when shadows fill our day
Lead us to a place, guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe~
She peeked out from behind a column as her host, Plato talk with a handsome young man. His hair was as black as the night sky. It was long which was proof he wasn't Greek. His nose had a hook shape to it. Kaori watched him from her hiding place as he spoke in confident tones with Plato. She knew who he was. Zenos. Kaori sighed softly, catching Zenos' attention. When he glanced at her, Kaori ducked back behind the pillar. She muttered a silent prayer that he didn't see her.
When she looked back around the pillar, he wasn't there anymore. Kaori stepped out curious to where he went. She didn't noticed that he snuck up behind her. She turned around and ran smack into him. Kaori stumbled back in surprise. Zenos caught her before she fell down. He smiled at her, which caused her to blush.
"You must be Kaori." Zenos stated.
"Yes, I am. How did you know?" Kaori asked softly.
"Plato thought it might be you behind here."
"I'm sorry for interrupting your talks with Plato."
"Don't be. I always wanted to meet you. It's not often I get to meet a fellow Atlantean and a beautiful one at that."
Kaori blushed even brighter. He thought she was beautiful. Kaori peeked up at his face and fell into his black eyes. He wasn't handsome, Kaori thought, he was gorgeous. She muttered something in her native tongue. Zenos started laughing.
"I'll take that as compliment." Zenos joked as he took her hand. Kaori smiled as the scenery began to change again. This time she was older and running through the hallways of an old castle. Behind her, Zenos was chasing her with anger in his eyes. Only it wasn't Zenos but a stranger. Just as Kaori reached the window, everything went black.
Kaori woke up in her bed. She sat up and looked around. The doors to her balcony were open allowing a breeze to flutter through. Kaori got out of her bed and grabbed a silk robe from the nearby chair. She pulled it on and knotted the belt as she stepped out onto the balcony. The breeze combed its way through her copper colored curls. Kaori looked out over the city of Venice. At times she believed that Atlantis would have one day looked like this if it had the chance.
"Come on, Kay. Let thepast stayed buried. Remembering it is not going to do you any good. Especially thinking about him. He's gone, Kaori, nothing will bring him back." Kaori told herself as she gazed at the stars. Her treacherous mind brought up another memory of Zenos pointing out the different constellations and telling her the stories of them.
Kaori shook her head to get rid of those thoughts as she went to head back to bed. Down in the streets, cloaked figures watched her closely as she closed the balcony door and locked it.
~Sognamo un mondo senza pi¨´ violenza
un mondo di giustizia e di speranza
Ognuno dia la mano al suo vicino
Simbolo di pace, di fraternit¨
(We dream a world without violence
a world of justice and faith.
Everyone gives the hand to his neighbours
Symbol of peace, of fraternity)~
***********************************************************************
Severus Snape tossed and turned in his own bed. His mind brought forth images of a young woman with long copper hair. Her ice blue eyes seemed to stare into his soul. Their beautiful depths gleamed with love for him. He was enchanted by her beauty and her spirit. In his soul, he could feel the warmth of his love for her. He could see himself dancing with her, talking with her, or showing her the stars.
~La forza che ci d¨(The force he gives us)
We ask that life be kind
¨¨ il desiderio che (is wish that)
and watch us from above
ognuno trovi amor (everyone find love)
We hope each soul will find
intorno e dentro s¨ (Around and inside)
another soul to love~
One image stood out, with her trying to stop him from doing something. She was afraid that he wouldn't return. Gently he tried to assure her that he would come back to her. She kissed him softly. Severus's heart froze as he heard her words.
"Zenos, you are my one true love. We will transcend time to be with each other. When we are reborn, we will find each other and we will fall in love all over again. That is our fate." She chanted.
"I will protect you. I won't rest until I find you again." Severus heard his voice whispered.
Severus pulled her close to him. He was about to kiss her again, when the image began to fade away. The scenery blurred then focused. Snape found himself in The Hogwart's library. He stared at the woman again as she held a book. A book, Severus wanted as well. Her eyes widened at the sight of him. Before he could react, she ran. Severus felt compelled to chase her and he did through the halls of Hogwarts. He almost had her, but she escape his grasp. Severus stood there in the void of his mind trying to figure out what was going on.
Eventually he woke up. He shook his head. These dreams were driving him crazy ever since Voldemort's demise. They were a nightly occurrence. Who was this woman and what did she have to do with him?
~Let this be our prayer
Let this be our prayer, just like every child~
Severus stood up and pulled on his robe. He knew he wasn't going back to sleep tonight. Picking up his wand, he casted a spell to turn on the lights. The little house lit up. Severus moved from his bedroom to the kitchen. He poured himself some coffee and stepped outside. His black eyes stared at the stars high above his head. The stars who saw more then they would ever let on.
~Need to find a place, guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe
Need to find a place, guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe~
