Rabk- Part 9

Rabk Part 9

Into the Deep

After a couple of days of sailing, Rabk and Beowulf had run out of food. Rabk was curled up on one side of the boat. Rabk stirred a little, as though he was just waking up. "Is land in sight?" he asked Beowulf. Beowulf raised his head for a couple seconds and then dropped it again. "Nothing whatsoever," he replied. Rabk groaned. "I'm so hungry," Beowulf chuckled/groaned a little laugh. "I bet I am hungry than you," he said. Rabk lifted his head a little. "Oh, yeah?" he smiled. "I'm so hungry, I could eat a a turtle." Beowulf retorted, "I'm so hungry, I could eat a genetically-modified turtle!" They laughed a weak laugh before realizing that the boat was tipping forward. Immediately, both of them were on their feet, vainly trying to climb to the rising end of the boat. Soon, the boat was completely vertical, and it paused in that strange position for a moment. Beowulf and Rabk looked down at the water as they clung to the top of the boat. Then, the boat started descending into the water. The two of them tried crying out for help, but they both knew that nobody would hear. As the boat entered the water, a large bubble enclosed it, which kept Rabk and Beowulf from escaping or drowning. When the two of them saw this bubble, they let go and sat at the bottom of the bubble, looking downward. They descended for quite a while, and as they went down, they couldn't see anything, not even themselves. After not seeing each other for a long time, a glow grew larger from the bottom of the ocean. As the boat moved closer, the two passengers could see many large buildings and streets coming from withing a glowing, large bubble framed with stone. Their boat docked just outside the giant bubble. A man in blue camouflage, holding a machine gun, motioned for them to come towards him. As Rabk and Beowulf moved, they found that their bubble moved with them. The camouflage man moved towards them and their bubbles merged. The man had a large beard and green eyes. He looked at them, worriedly. "How did you guys get here? You're not from down here." Beowulf chuckled. "No, we're definitely not from down here. Where are we and who are you?" "I'm Burt, but I can't tell you where we are. Follow me." The group's bubble merged with the űber bubble, revealing a thriving city concealed into the bubble. The two travelers, in their ragged over-use clothes, were noticeable different looking from the rest of the people in this mossy, stone city. After passing several men in uniforms, and a whole bunch of suspicious stares, Burt brought them into a huge room with men on thrones. Burt nervously ran up to the man in the largest chair and whispered something in his ear. The man looked down at the two men angrily, then he roared. "How on earth did you two find the city of Atlantis?"
