The lake was cold and placid it seemed that it was teasing them, holding other secrets just waiting to be figured out. "Come on let's go it's waiting for us!" Aphrodite said. She didn't know what to expect maybe it was something horrible inside and they would never see the surface again or maybe it was a lost world of magic and wonder that cant wait to be let out, or maybe it was both.

She couldn't yet decide but jumped in anyway "are yall comin' with me or gonna stand around like a bunch of sissies?" Jessie stared into her eyes "I trust you with my life and only that" and jumped in. Kayla looked at her then the water "Ok! Ok! fine I'm comin' " she jumped in also. Aphrodite began "now the light and the key were about a minute out that way and then 20 seconds deep. Now lets go get what were lookin' for!" they swam in the direction she pointed and then went under water they saw the light and Aphrodite motioned for them to get as close as possible she rammed the key in the hole and then there was an explosion.

They now felt a sensation of being sucked through a tight tube, but as suddenly as it started it stopped. They looked around there was huge bubbles everywhere that seemed to hold what looked like cities but somewhat smaller. they happened to be in one of the smaller bubbles but the could see outside of it. Something flew pass them, then came back. There was a small pink man inside that looked surprised and shocked. He opened the lid to the odd vehicle he was driving and ushered them in, 'who are you and why have you come to Skadia?'� 'What nation are you from, things from another world, needless to say what are you?'� he said urgently. Aphrodite stepped forward and looked him in the eye, 'we are humans we come from America, I am Aphrodite and these are my friends Kayla and Jessie.'� 'Oh my goodness!!!!'� the man yelled and sounded a horn off of the vehicle. He got out and ran through the city yelling 'OUR GODDESS HAS COME TO US AT LAST!'� "BOW DOWN BEFORE HER!"
