Welcome back everyone. Enjoy and review.

Upon the Lake

Greater than the Titanic or anything that the Vikings or Noah had built, the Early Boat of Death sat upon the lake of Ontario. What was this thing? When had it been built? Who built it? For what reason had it been built?

The answers?

What was this thing? It was just a boat just like how the flu was just the flu.

When had it been built? Well to begin with, it dated back to the time of Atlantis. In fact it predated the birth of Evenor, ancestor of the Kings of Atlantis. Truth be told it had been built before any city on Atlantis had been built, it was that old.

Who built it? Well, it had been built during Atlantis' stone age and thus no Atlantean could have built such a boat. Could it have been the people of the island of Thule? Given the fact that Thule's inhabitants were Picts, a Celtic people who would sometimes resort to piracy, it was very possible. Or could it have been from Lemuria, an island located in the Indian and Pacific oceans? It seems unlikely, as the Lemurians were the ancestors of the Tartars, Huns, Mongols, Pashtuns and the Turkish people who were all horsemen but on the other hand the Lemurians would have needed a way to escape Lemuria when it sank therefore it is just as likely that the Lemurians could have built this boat.

What reason had it been built? Well, wasn't that the million dollar question. There was no sarcophagus nor anything that would imply this was funeral boat. On the other hand there was a lot of imagery that would suggest a death-god was being invoked to frighten enemies.

Still, this was not something that Lee or the Hoplite was thinking about. They were instead thinking about what could be waiting for them on the boat. Thus they discussed this.

"Supposed Blompkins has a humanzee waiting for us on the boat." Suggested the Hoplite. "Or a whole bunch of them?"

"Do you really think he could have some created already?" asked Lee.

"Probably not enough for an army." Replied the Hoplite. "More likely the equivalent of a battalion… Or something smaller."

"I'm hoping for something smaller." Said Lee.

So was the Hoplite.
