Suddenly I woke from a nice dream, hearing screams. I sighed, recognizing Milo's voice, and checking my watch which was 5:00 am. I drew out of my tent, seeing the vicious fire, and hearing Helga ordering some people including Uncle Tommy to throw water toward the fire. I heard Rourke commanding us to get moving, and I grabbed my backpack, frantically looking for Milo and the others. I heard Helga call for me, passing by in one of the trucks. I grabbed a seat, yelling and trying to hold on as Helga struggled to steer the truck while the bridge was struck down, bringing us all into a loud crash. I blacked out for a few seconds until I felt Helga shaking me by the shoulder. I glanced up to see her, asking if I was okay. I nodded, and I crepted out of the truck. I heard everyone's voices, and startled when I didn't hear Milo or Uncle Tommy anywhere.
As the crew collobrated about the volcano's ceiling, I told them of the missing others. I and the crew including Helga called for them, and I heard Rourke's command to use the Digger. The Digger started up, and I distantly heard Milo and Uncle Tommy. I ran with the others as the Digger dug through the entrance to the bridge. I gasped, gaping at the glorious and beautiful sight of Atlantis. Lord, they don't do it justice in the movie. It is more amazing for reals! Wow, just wow. Uncle Tommy chuckled softly, as he half-hugged me by the shoulder. I heard Sweet's comment, then they came. I turned around to see Kida's familiar warrior outfit, and her comrades, through I was surprised to see one more to the right side of them. I saw Uncle Tommy smile like he recognized this warrior.
After Milo's struggled conversation with Kida and the different languages, Uncle Tommy's warrior revealed its mask, and I was shocked to see that it was a woman. She looked like 50-ish, close to Uncle Tommy's age. The silky white hair, blue eyes, dark skin and a blue crystal as usual, but from there, the outfit differed. For tattoos, she has a beauty spot near the ridge of her nose like Kida, a crooked line across her nose, and a crescent moon across her right eye. A light blue wide bikini outfit with dark purple lining, a dark blue sarong wrap with light purple lining around her waist and down. She has a heart-shaped face, slight narrow brown eyebrows, narrow rosy lips, gold circle earrings, armand on her right upper arm, and one anklet on her left shin.
She walked over toward me and Uncle Tommy.
"Hello, welcome to Atlantis. Are you all right?", she spoke with a soft breezy voice, smiling gently.
Uncle Tommy grinned, "Oh, yes. Just fine, ma'am. Thank you for healing me back there.".
"Uncle, she healed you? What happened to you?". I questioned concerningly.
"Alas, Sierra. I am fine. I had a major scrape on my shoulder but now it's gone.". Uncle Tommy replied. Then Kida announced for us to come along. I sat with Vinny and Mole as Uncle Tommy rode with Sweet and Audrey. I cringed slightly as I freaked out at Mole's weird behavior. I came out, Milo invited me along with him, Rourke, Helga, and Uncle Tommy. We arrived at King Kashekim's throne, and I kneeled in respect, along with Uncle Tommy, coping Milo. Kida and the other woman spoke in Atlantean with the king. Rourke, of course, interuppted along. I cringed at the king's tone, and glanced to see Uncle Tommy watching his newfound friend in witness to the king and Rourke's brief talk. When Rourke finished, I walked back, only glancing to see Uncle Tommy with a frowned glance toward his friend. The woman only sadly smiled at us before I nudged Uncle Tommy and we walked out of the room. Milo said that Kida doesn't seem to agree with her father, and that Uncle Tommy's friend is Kida's aunt, the king's sister. That explains the slight resemblance between her and Kida. I wonder what's her name is. Uncle Tommy totally got a crush. Maybe she is 'the One' for him.
Helga nudged me, "Looks like your uncle got a crush on the king's sister. Weird, huh?".
"Nah, Helga. They look like a good match, in my opinion, anyway. Think about it, it could be fate for them, like Milo and that princess.". I chuckled acceptingly.
Helga nodded, "You're probably right."., with a rare smile. I smiled back. Then Helga and Rourke got Milo ahead to talk to Kida, and I whispered good luck before I left with the others. We all went seperate ways, I was with Uncle Tommy. We were discussing a theory about the Atleanean people, when I glimpsed someone sneaking behind us. I smirked as I glanced to see Kida's aunt put a finger to her lips, sneaking behind Uncle Tommy, and spooking him out of his wits. I laughed heartily at Uncle Tommy's face. Heh, heh. He looks like a deer in headlights! After a moment or two, Uncle Tommy calmed down, and from there, we all striked a conversation. I found that her name is Cillallei, nicknamed "Cilla". She is very friendly, respectful toward animals, and loves to look through the library, and a natural thing for warrior style that I taught her some moves, and excelled impressively, but very close compared to Helga's well-tuned skills. We found that she was born under a crescent moon nuance the tattoo across her eye, and her true age is 14,400 which is equal to 48 years of earth age. Wow, talk about a beautiful woman, not even any wrinkles on her. Just awesome. The day passed with a tour of the city, a encounter with Helga, having lunch and dinner, and a view of the amazing library which literally towers over Whitmore's library collection. The library has four floors, and to my shock, Cilla said that she counted a million books here. Uncle Tommy was pleasantly suprised, acting like a kid at a candy store. I chuckled at his antics. Later tonight will change for both the best and the worst. I don't want to lose my friends, my uncle, and my crush-love. See what happens then.
