We spent the next several days relaxing and cleaning up the house and compound. During the evening we go to the library and read different books that would help us in our new life on the island. The books in the library covered so many subjects that it was crazy. We had several that covered the different aspects of the islands. We even had maps of the island. Luckily we had books on military and weapons including the owners manual on all the weapons we had at our disposal and some that we did not have. We also had literary classics that we could read, well those published before 1900. Their were many that were in different languages. We read stories that we would never had read back home in school. And most of these books were first editions. It was strange that back home we did not like school and here we were reading and studing like our lives depended on it and the thing is, it was.
We cleaned the compound and made a fifty yard clearing outside the wall. It took us almost four months to get all this done. Nicky and I are both christians and we would take a day of rest on Sunday. Thanks to a very elegant grandfather clock we knew the date and day. It way a strange thing to have kept time all this time. There was no winding needed in the clock another mystery about the house and compound.
On Sunday we would read from the bible, of which we had several and in several different languages. Afterwards we would hike and explored some of the island near the compound. We saw so many amazing things. It just added to the mystery of the Mysterious Island.
We explored a cave and found what had to been human made. It lead into a cavern that had all kinds and sizes of gems on the floor and in the walls. We took some samples of different ones. This would be a project to do once we finished with the compound and clearing outside the wall.
We were two months into exploring and mining the cave we called the "Rock Cave". When the floor of the cave gave out. Luckily for us, it was just a slight incline that we rolled down. We dusted ourselves off and explored the new tunnel. It seemed the island was littered with tunnels.
Our ninth month on the island, we came across a valley on the island with steep cliffs. There was a opening to the valley that had a large and very thick set of double gates. There was a guardhouse of sorts on our side of the gates. It was a master control for the gates. The guardhouse had electricty and running water. Just another mystery. And then we heard a loud sound that did not sound like any animal we heard of. And in the distance we saw a brachiosaurus. We were prepared for this. But we just saw something 99.99 percent of the people who have ever been on Earth has never seen. Living dinosaurs, living dinosaurs, WOW! We stayed on our side of the gate. We did not have anything that would stop a dinosaur if one took a liking to us. The record in the library showed that there were only five dinosaurs types on the island. The list had Ankylosaurus, Apatosaurus, Brachiosaurus, Styglimoloch and Triceratops. At least the are all herbivores.
On our eleventh month on the island we came across a dirt road that someone had made. We went back and gathered supplies for our trip. We stayed off the road but followed where it went. It took us three days and a fight with a six foot lizard. While Nicky would stay at range and shoot the lizard, I fought it with sword and spear. It took the spear to it's eye before breaking the shaft of the spear. Luckily that was the only trouble we had on our journey.
The road went up one of the mountains and down the other in a zig-zag pattern. What we saw was a valley with several buildings and six ships. The compound looked deserted. We made our way slowly and carefully to the compound. We noticed a large graveyard with a very elegant mausoleum. We were shocked when we read the names.
