This is my next 'entry'. It's been a week and we made it to Atlantis. Let's say its been horrible since we came. The Atlantans wouldn't let us in so we snuck into some tunnels. Did that work? No. I'm just gonna write the most important part of today. The traps.
"Move!" Alex yelled at me as he pushed me aside just in time, seeing as a large pole swung down from the roof and nearly took my head off. I laugh and thank him. We then move on further into the Tunnels.
"Alex." I say shaking.
"Yes?" He says grabbing my hand.
"I can see everything." I mutter.
"You mean you can see what happened to people who stepped into traps?" He asks.
"Yeah. And I can see the more obvious traps. Did I forget to mention I have Photographic Memory as well?"
"No. But that's nice." We walk off further down the tunnel avoiding as many traps as we can.
About five hours later we hear shouting in some strange language.
"Stop." Alex says crouching. I follow his example and crouch down. We hear voices approaching down a tunnel to our left and I grip Alex's hand tighter.
"Tyto smrtelníky byly vynikající."(Those mortals were delicious.)An Atlantan says rounding the corner.
"Ano. Byly úžasný. Škoda, že přistáli na ostrově špatné."(Yes. They were amazing. Too bad they landed on the wrong island.) Another one says. A third one rounds the corner and laughs and nods along with them.
Alex glances at me and then rushes forward. His Imperial Gold Spear called Tremor, shining in the dark. I follow his lead with Grimsever melding out of shadows and appearing in my hand.
"Demi bohové! Zabijte!"(Demi-Gods! Kill them!) The leader shouts running towards us with an axe in it's hand. Now these guys are like fish men. Literally. They had a humanoid face with gills on the sides of their necks, They had fins protruding out of the sides of their skulls, their skin was a greenish colour, they had web-like hands with sharp claws on the end, sharp pointy and freaking scary teeth, long legs with fins once again sticking out of the sides of their shins and they wore some kind of ceremonial armour that was red with gold swirls all across it.
"Můžeme je jíst?"(Can we eat them?!) One of the others shout swinging a trident at me. I dodge and sink my blade into his shoulder.
"Později. Nejprve jsme rip je od sebe!"(Later. First we rip them apart!) The third one shouts shooting an arrow at Alex. Alex dodges and throws his spear at the third ones head. Instantly it falls over with blood sprinting from it's skull.
The leader charges Alex, but Alex just zaps him with electricity. I turn my attention to my enemy. He pulls Grimsever from his shoulder and tries to stab me with his trident. I then swing my leg up into what I hope is it's groin. To my luck it bellows in pain and doubles over gasping. I take that as my chance to bring my small concealed dagger out of my jacket and not it's neck. Blood spurts from his necks and it falls over. Dead.
I turn around in time to see Alex rip the leader apart. Literally. I put my hands behind my head and catch a breath. Alex comes over and passes me Grimsever. I thank him and meld the sword back into the shadows.
"Let's keep going." He says picking up Tremor. We walk off down the tunnel keeping our eyes peeled for more Atlantans.
After a few hours we come across a tunnel that was brighter than the others.
"Alex. I don't like the feeling of this." I mutter Grimsever appearing in my hand.
"Neither do I, but we have to keep going." He replies holding Tremor in his hands.
We walk down the tunnel checking every little bit of shadow and light. Finally we make it to the end of the tunnel. It was a dead end.
"Crap." I say looking for another route.
"Here." Alex says pointing to a lever. He pulls the lever before I can stop him and his foot is swallowed by a bear trap. He then starts screaming in pain.
"Alex! Quiet!" I whisper to him. I run towards him and try to pry the bear trap from his foot, without paying attention to what was his foot.
"It hurts..argh..so bad." He whimpers. I was so busy trying to pry the bear trap away that I didn't sense the Atlantans sneaking up on us.
"Demi Boha. Nemůže nám uniknout. Nesnažte se spustit nebo váš přítel zde zemře."(Demi-God. You cannot escape us. Do not try to run or your friend here will die.)A Atlantans says next to me. I gulp and slowly stand. The Atlanan was wearing a bright orange set of armour exactly the same as the armour the three Atlantans we killed were wearing. He wore a crown made of bones and he held a large golden trident.
"I don't suppose we could talk about this? Could we?" I ask smiling.
"Ne. Váš přítel zde bude jíst. Budete sledovat. Pak budete umírat."(No. Your friend here will be eaten. You will watch. Then you will die.) The Atlantan says.
"Alright. That seemed legit. Anyway could you..um. Tell me your name? Before you kill me of course." I say batting my eyelashes. 'This is so not gonna work. I'm not a child of Aphrodite.'
"Pokud je třeba znát. Já jsem Emporer Kwalala a Toto jsou moje Sentinels Bora, Lenan, Keala a Fraco."(If you must know. I am Emporer Kwalala and these are my Sentinels Bora, Lenan, Keala and Fraco.) He says gesturing to the four heavily armed Atlantans behind him.
"Well. Your highness. It is an honour to me you and your brave Sentinels. Now if you'd just let us go because I really hate becoming someone's dinner. I get stuck in the teeth and I go rotten very easily. Plus I'm still ripe. Puberty ain't finished yet." I say trying to form Grimsever from the shadows.
"Puberta? Co je to? Je to druh oblékání nebo koření?"(Puberty? What is this? Is it a type of dressing or spice?) The Emperor says frowning.
"Ah. No. It's when your boy changes. You get taller...you grow things." I mumble.
"Jako koření, ovoce a zeleninu?"(Like spices, fruits and vegetables?).
"No. Other..things. Anyways I'm horrible to eat and so is my friend. He's to soft and squishy."
"Soft and squishy? What am I a...argh...octopus?" Alex mumbles his face going pale.
"Ne. Chobotnice mají osm nohou. Máte dvě. Mínus nohu."(No. Octopus have eight legs. You have two. Minus a foot.) The Emperor says. "Plus. Chobotnice chutná úžasný. Je-li ochutnat špatné pak nejste chobotnice."(Plus. Octopus tastes amazing. If you taste bad then you are not octopus.) At that the Sentinels behind him murmured with agreement.
"Right. So I'm taking this as you aren't going to eat us?" I ask praying to the Gods.
"Ne nebudete jíme vás. Jsme mučí vás pak obětovat vás do Kronos. Našeho Pána."(No we will not eat you. We will torture you then sacrifice you to Kronos. Our lord.)
"Lovely." I say smiling. And with that they chained me and freed Alex from the bear trap. Oh and chained him too.
I've managed to unchain myself in this prison and write in this book thingy so yeah.
"Move!" Alex yelled at me as he pushed me aside just in time, seeing as a large pole swung down from the roof and nearly took my head off. I laugh and thank him. We then move on further into the Tunnels.
