Danger?
My ancestors were chosen by the people of Atlantis to protect the Celestial Jewel. A mystic treasure is that not only the crown regalia of the entire under sea kingdom, but also protects and heals the sea and its many inhabitants. I am third in command to the guardians of the ruins, second to the orca and the blue whale. Though, it was the city's notoriety that started everything.
I was swimming off the coast of North Carolina when I first found out. I saw a group of boaters moving out to sea. I thought nothing of it at first, but when I got a closer look to see the humans on board, heard a conversation. "You really think you can find Atlantis Sam. I mean they tried to find it what, in 400 B.C.?"
It was a women's voice, not like the screechy squeals I heard from tour boats, but a calm, collected voice. I'm telling you Ali, with the stuff we can do today, we have a way better chance at finding Atlantis. This could make us famous!" After hearing this I checked the way the boat was heading. It was heading toward the Atlantic Ocean, toward the ruins, toward my home.
"Hey, hey! Look at that, a white dolphin!" I then realized that I was so caught up in my thoughts that I had drifted out of the shadow of the boat and into plain view. When I looked around, I saw that the humans, Sam and Ali, were gawking at me. "Yeah, think of how much that dolphin is worth." Ali said. I knew enough about humans to know that that meant I was worth something to them, which was not good. I quickly swam away, but they were in a motor boat and sped after me. I used my echolocation to find a cave underwater where my white skin would not give me away. As I hid, I heard the humans. "If we could get that dolphin we could study albinism in marine mammals". Sam said. "Well unless you can catch it, you have to settle with snakes." Ali said in an exasperated tone. Once they moved off, I sped towards the ruins.
I may put this story on hold until I find that people other than Eric123 is reading
