Chapter Twenty-One

I sat at a table in a restaurant with open-air seating, talking with Oztarr and Lytrix about what my next move should be.

The sun was almost blinding as it reflected off the waters. It was another perfect day in Atlantis, just like all the others. The people around me were laughing and smiling, enjoying each other’s company. It was such a different scene from what I experienced back home with people typically too busy to give a shit about their neighbor.

The mood at our table was markedly different from the rest though. I was frustrated and slightly angry at what I had gone through up to that point.

After risking my life and taking a beating in the East Forest, I still was stuck not being able to fix the Infinity Loop because I didn’t have permission to go up the damn mountain to get the crystal.

“I know you’re frustrated right now,” Oztarr said. “But if Atlas tells you that he can’t approve, you have to listen to him.”

“I think it’s ridiculous,” I said. “He’s not just telling me that I can’t do it. He’s giving me a life sentence to stay here.”

“So, what’s wrong with that?” Oztarr asked.

I flashed a glance to Lytrix. Her eyes agreed with me, even if she wasn’t admitting it out loud.

I shrugged my shoulders. “Look, I think Atlantis is great, but it’s not my home. Even if it seems like it’s perfect on the surface, I need to at least have the option to go home if I want to. I have people there who need me. If I’m here because I’m forced to be, that makes this place a prison, rather than a home.”

Lytrix nodded. “I agree. Even if Atlantis is the greatest place on Earth, Tyler deserves the ability to go home if he wishes.”

Oztarr almost seemed bothered by this argument. Obviously, he felt that Atlantis was the perfect place to live. But I held my ground. I knew that living in Atlantis was perfect for now, but there was a big difference between staying here a few days and living here permanently. I needed the option to leave.

A server came by and dropped off a couple of plates of food. Sitting in front of me was a plate of steamed fish, fresh from the water, along with a heavenly salad. The meal was a reminder of how great things could be if I lived in Atlantis. I continued to struggle with the idea. On the one hand, everything I ever wanted was here. On the other, it still wasn’t my home.

“I bet you can’t get food this good at home,” Oztarr said. “It really is the perfect city.”

“So then why am I being forced to stay here?” I asked. “After all, if it’s so perfect here all the time, then nobody should be worried about me leaving.”

“It’s not that anyone wants to force you to stay here,” Lytrix said. “Atlas thinks you would be putting yourself in danger by climbing the mountain while we are in the middle of a war with the Athenians.
