“i am so sick and tired of that lady telling us things in half” Ethan said in a frustrated tone,we had moved for hours along the ocean dodging sea creatures that looked like they could eat us,we had just escaped from a weird looking sea creature and sought refuge in a dark cave”how are we supposed to find a garden with corals”sarah asked biting her last morsel of bread,we were slowly running low on supplies and food.

“Emma can you try to use your psychic abilities to see if you can find something” Ethan asked “i don’t know how to control it yet remember,it has to be triggered by something” i said running my fingers through the intricate patterns of the cold walls of the cave.

suddenly the wall around where i placed my hand moved slightly inside,and immediately the wall that seemed like it was the end of the cave opened up and gave way to a wide path “bring the flashlight over here carlos”i said.Full novel: DINING WITH THE DEVIL — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠

“where do you think it leads too”sarah asked”i dont know lets check it out”i said moving towards the entrance “check it out?

for all i know they could be a sea monster in there waiting for to eat us” sarah said “Orrr it could lead us to the coral gardens” Ethan said “yeah Ethan my be right the spirit lady did say something about finding a rocky place,this could be it,common lets get going,what could possibly go wrong”carlos said “Am not sure about that,i mean the last time you said that we were running from sharks”sarah said “you could stay here and wait for us” i said entering the opened path the boys following behind immediately “finee”sarah said tagging along immediately “guys i don’t want to be at the back” sarah said and carlos swapped with her to be behind.

we moved steathily along the cave.

The roof of the cave had crystal like objects with a sharp tip hanging above it with liquid dripping from it we had moved inside the cave when i suddenly felt spasms rock my whole body and in a flash of light i saw the cave crumbling and the roof coming down upon me,we moved faster trying to escape the crumbling cave, Ethan,Sarah and me got out but carlos was still inside, i tried to go in for him but it was too late the cave came crashing completely down.

“Are you okay Emma” Ethan asked bringing me out of my trance “guys we have got to get out of here fast” i said “what did you see”Sarah asked “The cave is going to come down lets move fast” I said picking up speed the others quickly following me “what could possibly go wrong” sarah said sarcastically turning briefly behind to give carlos a death stare.

we got to a junction with three paths “which one do we take” Ethan asked in dismay, suddenly we heard heavy rumbling sound “oh no dont tell me am going to die” carlos screamed “carlos just shut the f**k up nobody is going to die” i said, i had refused to tell them that we had lost carlos in my vision, my hands quickly went to the walls of the cave hoping for a sign,nothing happened just when i was beginning to lose hope, a flash of light appeared and i saw the three paths and where they led to “Quickly this way” i said taking the left path,the roof of the cave was already coming down with rapid speed and rocks falling in quick sucessions, we struggled not to be hit by them “Ethan shield orbs please” i said as i narrowly missed being hit by a large rock, Ethan quickly made a protective orb over us,the rocks now bounced off in quick succesions over the orb.”guys i can’t hold this up for more than two minutes’ Ethan called out breathlessly

To our relief the exit was just up ahead,just as Ethan’s orb dissipated we all got out unharmed and the cave’s exit came crashing down “phew that was a close one”carlos said as we tried to catch our breaths “good thing Emma saw this coming” Ethan said “and thanks to your shield orbs we would have all been squashed by rocks” i said still breathless “remind me carlos next time you said nothing could possibly go wrong that it’s a bad omen” Sarah said “we could have lost carlos back there” i said my voice filled with emotions, “what do you mean” sarah asked “we had lost him in my vision” i said almost in tears “well we didn’t good thing you saw it on time”carlos said pulling me to him and hugging me,he seemed shaken from what i said i hugged him back,we stayed in that position for awhile before i pulled away.

we continued our journey after resting for awhile,our path had lit up to an other worldly glow,the air suddenly became thick with anticipation each breath filled with the salty tang of the sea and the promise of ancient secrets waiting to be unearthed we pressed on silently our hearts racing with a mixture of excitement, somehow we just knew that we were close in the twinkling of an eye we arrived at an ethreal looking place, the beauty that unfolded before us was beyond imagination, vibrant corals in shades of Azure,Emaralds and Amethyst danced in gentle currents creating a mesmerising tapestry that seemed to pulse with life our eyes widened with awe as we realised the significance of the place_here, hidden among the coral, lay one of the keys that could unlock the mystery of Atlantis

But our moment was short-lived as a deep rumble echoed through the water, sending shivers down our spines.

suddenly, a colossal shadow loomed overhead,casting a dark veil over the once serene scene.

The sea creature, a titan of the deep with scales as dark as midnight and eyes that glowed like motten lava, emerged from the depths with a deafening roar that reverberated through the water

Fear gripped our hearts as we beheld the creature, its sheer size and power rendering us helpless against its might.The sea monster circled them,its presence commanding respect and instilling a primal fear in their hearts. The source of this chapter is NovelPing.

As the creature drew closer i knew that our only chance of survival lay in courage and quick thinking.

with determination blazing in my eyes are prepared my mind.

“guyys, whats that”sarah asked her voice shaking with fear “thatttt is lupus” carlos said “no wonder she said if we get out alive”Ethan said “guyys over here lets hide behind this rocks” i said already moving towards it “Alright whats the plan ” i asked as soon as we settled down behind the rocks “you answer you are the leader” sarah said

“look guys we cant beat this creature by direct confrontation,we have to outsmart it” Ethan said “And how do we do that” carlos asked “Thats what i don’t know” Ethan said “outsmart it,that’s it Ethan you are genius” i said with a quick swift of my hand i unlocked the book from the void i had kept it,i swiftly opened the pages and right there was what i was looking for,a vivid picture of the sea monster was drawn on the page i opened to, with a few lines written below it.

it read LUPUS:”a colossal sea creature with great physical strength,known for its attraction to all that glitters and beautiful, it tends to seat on its most priced possession”

“well that was helpful” sarah said “Apparently this creature likes pretty things and thats why its habitat is the coral gardens that houses plenty of them, and it tends to seat on its most priced possession” i said “meaning its probably sitting on that key” sarah said “thats right” i said “we just have to get it to stand up, then one of us goes and grab it” sarah said

“How do we get it to stand up” carlos asked i quickly looked at my feet, on the ocean floor were pretty corals and gem stone, i looked over the rock and saw the monster it was sitting at a corner its giant tail swinging from side to side “Ok heres the plan, “Ethan you and carlos should throw this gems and corals where Lupus here can see it then once its stands to go and get it sarah and i will go for the key, i know this sounds crude but its the only thing we got so guys dont flop this” i said.

Ethan and carlos started throwing gems and corals where the creature could see it and to my relief it stood up to gather them, and that was our chance me and sarah quickly moved to where it sat, there were piles of beautiful jewels,the key wasn’t difficult to spot it was made of pure diamonds i quickly picked it up ,as me and sarah turned to go we heard a loud roar the creature had spotted us “oh no” i said it started moving towards us with speed,it suddenly stopped in it’s track as a force field hit it,it was from Ethan,more force fields followed in quick sucessions the creature roared in anger “it quickly turned to attack Ethan and carlos “Noww carlos” Ethan screamed and with a blink of an eye Ethan and carlos disappeared just as it made to grab them, they appeared beside us,just as the creature turned to launch an attack we disappeared in the blink of an eye,Carlos had teleported us somewhere else in the ocean.

“Guyys that was awesome” sarah said “yeah,that was a quick move you and carlos made there” i said happy that we got the key and made it out with complete body parts “one key down,three more to go” i said locking the key in a void.
