The Mission
"So what's the mission this time Guggenheim" said Dante in an irritated tone, "Don't take it out on me Dante, I didn't purposely time it for when you were about to leave" said Guggenheim in a voice which asked for forgiveness. "Ye, Ye heard it all before just get on with it" Dante said in an arrogant tone. "Fine, the mission is to investigate some ruins found on the outskirts of Naples, Italy its close to Venice so you should be able to get there soon." "Why are these ruins so 'important' to the extent of sending an 'elite team of seekers'?" asked Sophie, "well they were not recorded in last years annual survey of all magical ruins in Italy, there has been numerous sightings of a large dragon like creature and there has been disappearances of people around its area." Said Guggenheim "We believe that it has something to do with a titan known as Arkania, it is a titan never recorded by the huntik foundation and is supposedly very dangerous. Although if you get hold of the titan Arcadia, which is another lost titan, it would be easier as his sole purpose was to hunt down and destroy Arkania. Arcadia is a powerful titan though so you will need a strong will to bond with him.".
"Guggenheim do you have any idea where we can find this other titan 'Arcadia'?" asked Zhalia, "In fact we do, it is found in a remote set of islands in the centre of the Bermuda triangle.", "Isn't the Bermuda triangle supposed to be cursed or something" said Lok in a curious voice. "Well that is why we think Arcadia is there, we believe that his amulet's powerful aura confuses navigational equipment." explained Guggenheim, "You didn't tell us what you wanted us to do with Arkania when we get hold of it" asked Sophie "We would like you to escort to a Huntik Safe House for analysis." Said Guggenheim.
"Guggenheim you still didn't answer the question, why can't a normal team of seekers do this?" Dante said still annoyed at his delayed retirement. "If you had some patience Dante I would have told you by now" said Guggenheim who was also getting annoyed at Dante's arrogance "We also believe that an ancient cult formed by an Italian and a Russian known as 'La spirale di sangue' in Italian or 'Кровь Спиральные' in Russian may be after the titan to and they are notorious for being brutal seekers with no sense of mercy.", "That translates as 'The Blood Spiral'" said Sophie. "We should be able to handle them" said Lok in an optimistic voice, "Do not underestimate them though" warned Guggenheim we do not know much about them apart from the fact that they have powers of darkness which surpass any normal seeker…you must be careful", "I| guess we'd better head of to the airport then" said Dante still as frustrated as before. "I guess we should…Naples here we come!" exclaimed Lok trying to lighten up the atmosphere but with no effect. This is gonna be one hell of a long mission he thought, Dante is grumpy, Zhalia is disappointed and I still need to pluck up the courage to let Sophie know how I really feel about her. I hope this is over soon!
Author Note:
Looks like this involves the blood spiral after all + Lok has to find a way of letting sophie know how much he likes her, this is gonna be a bumpy ride. Please review. thanks
