The Easiest Place to Get To

There are many ways to get to Atlantis. The many West Sea traders have hundreds of routes, and there are the royal routes- mystical roads that cross the ocean. I have heard of great tunnels which cross the bottom of the ocean, and converge on Atlantis. Despite all of this, she can’t seem to find a way to get there.

She is broke- dead broke. When she goes to the ships, they just sneer, she backs away.

She is terrified of small spaces, terrified of going underground. She goes to the entrance to the tunnel, its just a hole in the ground, barely tall enough to stand in. Her eyes widen.

She goes to the palace, and when she sees it, she doesn’t even get close to it. She already knows that it would be a mistake. She can’t get to Atlantis.
