For the next few days Cash explored the city, visiting the ancient ruins, the market places and other places of notice.

She found special interest in the Temple of Poseidon. During her conversation with Edgar, she had learned that Poseidon had played a large role in the story of the Lost Continent, along with the five sets of twins that were said to rule over Atlantis before it fell into the sea. The Temple stood on the edge of the island overlooking the sea in reverence to the ancient sea god. Cash walked the grounds, taking in the beauty of the ruins. Carefully groomed grass framed the crumbling buildings, creating a dichotomy that epitomized the spirit of Athens, modern verses ancient, chaos verses order. The city skyline in the distance seemed to frame the gleaming ruins, while the sea splashing against the rocky overlook, called to her from the other side.

The day came for the boat tour across the Aegean Sea and she met Edgar at the edge of the pier. He wore a white linen button down shirt and khaki pants. In his dark sunglasses and with the ocean breeze through his hair, she could almost see him being attractive… for a bookish type. She smiled and waved as she approached.

“Are you ready to witness a legend?” he asked.

Cash laughed.

“Don’t get too excited. It’s just an afternoon boat tour. It will be fun, I’m sure. But nothing life changing.”

They walked down the pier, side by side, toward the large gleaming white sailboat at the end. The crew scurried about readying the vessel. Other than the crew, the two of them had the boat to themselves, rented for the day from a local company. The captain stood at the end of the pier awaiting his two guests.

“Good morning,” he said, extending a hand to Edgar. “Captain Daniel Morgan at your service.”

“Pleasure, Captain,” Edgar said, shaking the captain’s hand. “This is my colleague, Cash Cassidy.”

“A lovely accompaniment to our journey today,” he said, taking Cash’s hand. “The sea looks fine for it.”

He turned and looked out at the sea. Cash felt the excitement build as the clear sky stretched out before them, meeting the slightly blue green shade of the water. She noticed a small line of dark clouds just on the horizon, but the captain did not seem concerned, so she felt no trepidation. Captain Morgan spoke again, gesturing toward the plank leading to the boat.

“Shall we?”

They boarded. The sway of the vessel made Cash feel a bit woozy right off, but she managed to keep herself upright as they made their way onto the main deck of the ship. After a few more minutes of adjustments to the gear, the crew found their positions. The captain called out various commands as the ship set sail and left the harbor.

Edgar stood next to Cash as they looked out over the sea.

“Where we are headed,” he explained, “is very close to the place I described to you. The Islands of Santorini will be within view in a few hours.
