" Xaiver, collect your best sligs and come to the main room. You have a new job!"

********************

For a moment or two after Oron's annoucement Zander and Ali were silent. Zander finely broke the silence with the statement.

" He's cracked."

" What lost city?" Asked Ali.

" The lost city of Odd of course."

" Never heard of it." snorted Zander.

"Neither have I." Ali said.

" I wouldn't expect you two to. It's a native legend."

"Oh." said Ali. “ Geuss that explains it.”

“ So whats the story behind this place?” Zander asked.

“ well, Many many years ago, Before the Glukkons started to enslave the Mudokons, A city was built. Legend said the city was built by Odd himself for his loyal worshipers. All was well untill the Glukkons begin enslaveing the Mudokons. They say that instead of letting the city be attacked Odd sunk the city into the ground, never to be seen again.”

“ Wow.” said Ali.

“ Yeah right” said Zander.

Ali gave Zander a glare then looked back to Oron. “ So,why do you want to find this place?”

Oron shrugged. “ Why not? It sounds like a grand adventure doesn’t it? Besides, if we find it it would be a wonderfull hideing place from the Glukkons. Where better to hide then a lost city?”

“ Thats a good point” Ali said with a nod.

Zander crossed his arms. “ And what if it doesn’t exsist?”

Oron shrugged again. “ Then we spend our lives exploreing. There are worse fates.”

“ I think it sounds like a good idea. Lets go!” Exclaimed Ali.

“ Fine. I’m most certainly out voted here.” Zander grumbled.

“ Wonderfull! This will be a wonderful adventure. I can already tell! I’ll just pack up my camp and we’ll be off.”

With that Oron ran off to pack up. Zander looked to Ali.

“ So tell me, What do you REALLY think of this idea?”

Ali smiled. “ Well,i’m not sure if i belive this lost city stuff but it can’t hurt to humor him can it?

“ No, I suppose not.” Zander agreed.

“ Come on,we better help him pack up.”

Ali ran the way Oron had. Zander was still. He was lost in thought about all thease new develoments.

“ Zander! Come on!” Ali cried from the brush,noticeing Zander wasn’t behind her.

“I’m comeing, hold your Elums!”

And with that,Zander followed.

END OF STORY ONE.
