Once upon a time, in a faraway land, inside a kingdom of great riches, belonging to a library of radiant glory, was a little book that told incredible tales of times long past. This text was the most sought-after book in the world, and many collectors wished it was in their libraries.
It was rumored that this tome held the secrets to the universe and could answer any question many philosophers may have had. The book's secrets were closely guarded by the king of this kingdom and all his people, using a strange technology they had learned from the ancient text.
Then, one day, a great earthquake struck the land, forcing the continents to rearrange and shift. When all was said and done, the kingdom was seen no more. It was rumored that it was at the bottom of the ocean, where the king took his people to continue protecting the book from those who wished to possess the tome.

Perfect Little Pirate
The rough, sodden rope bit into her fingers as she swung over the roiling water far below. Reaching out with the toe of her boot, she managed to catch hold of the rain-soaked railing of the ship- and promptly slipped. Throwing herself forward, she landed hard on the deck, slamming her elbows against the wood planks. The sharp yelp of pain quickly bubbled into a laugh, and she rolled onto her back, laughing up at the gray sky as a torrent of rain washed away the soot covering her skin.

I wish I can go exploring underwater. It'll be so cool! Loved your poem!
Atlantis - many secrets yet to be revealed!
The answers to any & ever question philosophers may ever have had, all contained within three words printed individually on three pages: yes, no, & maybe. Better make that four. We can't forget 42. Protect it well, my friends.
Makes you want to go searching...
Atlantis lives ! 🌹
Ah, the great lost island of Atlantis! Perhaps Minoan Crete, or just Plato's imagination? We'll never know, but a nice little vignette here reminds us to dream and wonder!
