The mysterious passage into another dimension opens the way for further exploration
Voyage To The Lost World
It was late in the evening and Harry went up on deck to relieve his Mammy who was steering the boat . Suddenly he heard the sound of a ship approaching somewhere near and quickly took over the wheel and directed the boat in the opposite direction of the oncoming ship and just in time as the large ship appeared and narrowly missed their vessel . At that very moment a full moon rose out of sea to keep them company . Harry and Maisie stood and watched the tall ship make its way towards the horizon .
As the moonlight reflected brightly upon the ocean the tall ship seemed to disappear into the reflection of the moon on the water .
Harry was unaware of any ships in that vicinity so he contacted on authorities about the ship they saw and they were informed that there were no known ships scheduled to be in that location .
Harry took control of the boat while his Mammy had a rest . A little later on Harry remembered an old sea story about Brendan the Captain of the ghost ship , Lady Foyle . All on board had to sail the seven seas forever .
The moon was huge and brightly shinning and there was something strange happening with the sea . It was like to waves were rising too high and going backwards and forwards which created a very strong undercurrent that was pulling the boat off course and no matter how hard Harry tried to correct the path of the boat he was unable able to steer out of the current and so he elected to go with the flow and so the boat was taken away for miles out beyond where they were headed .
A green mist fell down around them and within the green mist a triangular
Doorway appeared and the boat was drawn through into a calm and peaceful waterway passage like an aquatic avenue that brought them in through entrance gateway to a place with shops and restaurants built on concrete pillars over water , There some foot bridges over the water connecting both sides of the divide . It was a futuristic version of Venice with the entire place build on pillars and concrete structures . Maisie was busy sketching everything she could while Harry stood at the wheel of the yacht admiring the scenery thinking to himself .
“Well if the people who live here and happy with us being here , then we’re ok
Some ambient sounds were being filtered through speakers mounted around the sides of the canals as they made their way past statues and bridges and all kinds of buildings over streets of water that seemed to control which way they had to took them through the direction they had to go .
The boat stopped at a junction where drone with a camera appeared and took some footage of them .
In a kind of a daze Maisie felt as if they were trapped somewhere in the twilight zone . They had no idea of where they were and what was happening but they were not afraid at all .
Their boat entered into a lock in the canal and brough to a higher level in this aquatic metropolis and as they waited to be released from the lock they saw the same ghost ship that almost collided with them passing by into a green mist . As soon as they boat was released from the lock , they also entered into the green mist and inside the mist a triangular doorway appeared again and they were returned back to the sea on the same location they had been once before in the Mediterranean Sea near the Canary and Madeira Islands . .
“Mammy can you believe what we just saw “
Harry said .
“If I never saw it for myself son I would never have believed it “
“You know what I think Mammy ?”
Maisie replied .
“No tell me son , I’m lost for words ?
‘I think we have just gone through the lost city of Atlantis “
“Didn’t it sink into the ocean son “
Harry replied .
“How would anyone really know . What if it just disappeared through a crack between our dimension to another world that is also connected to our world but very few people have ever been there to see it “
“That’s very deep son “
Maisie said .AND Harry replied ,
“’Well it’s the only logical way I can explain what we have just seen . Did you sketch some of the things that were there Mammy ?”
“I sure did SON “
She replied and he said ,
“Then this part od the series for the collection can be about our journey to Allantis in the glass bottom boat and we can include the ghost ship and some mythical creatures we saw like Leviathan , Rahib and maybe even add some flying phoenixes and dragons ..
So Harry started to write the story of their voyage to lost world in a glass bottom boat .
