Chapter Three
Serena sighed wiping the sweat from her forehead. Looking around, she smiled to herself, seeing that the excavations had been going well and that almost a tenth of the city had been uncovered. It surprised her when she had discovered that Atlantis was not in the Atlantic Ocean as everyone throughout history her thought, but was in the Pacific, south east of Hawaii.
"Serena, we're all going to stop for lunch okay? You've been out in the sun too long, you're starting to burn."
"Alright. I'm going to take a nap after lunch, wake me if anything comes up."
"Will do Princess."
Serena shook her head at the nickname. Ever since they had discovered a small formally palatial villa with a single fresco still intact, they had been calling her Princess. Only for the simple reason of the young woman in the fresco looked like her double or a royal version of herself. Serityrenasere, she had found out her name to be, was the one woman that Endyrienmionda had chosen of all others. They had yet to find a fresco of the Prince and Serena found it strange that she felt so comfortable being here amongst the ruins.
Darien watched as his mistress stood up and stretched her sore and tired muscles. He had been with her when they discovered the fresco of Endyrienmionda's fiancée Serityrenasere. Of course he had preoccupied himself with exploring and finding interesting things for Serena to look at before she went to discover more with him. Being back amongst the ruins made him miss the days when Atlantis was prosperous and flourished, but he knew that he would rather be here with Serena.
"Darien, time for lunch. And an afternoon nap." She moved over to him and picked him up. "Want sushi with me?"
Darien meowed in response, before rubbing his head against her cheek.
