The process continues as I dig deeper down into the ground. Once The hole is big and deep enough, and I throw myself in, hoping that it might kill me. I hit the bottom and cover my body with the sharp sand. Pain shoots through my body and I pass out due to the pain. I slowly wake up and it is mid-morning.

My body felt weightless. I could see myself getting closer to the hole, but I could not get myself to move away. The door behind me swung open, and I fell to the ground.

I held it for dear life. However, I never noticed that the rock I hit had broken it, but I was so scared being up that high up. All I could recall was everything going white and feeling so relaxed, yet still in mid-air. As I am flying in the air unconsciously, a loving pine tree swatted my body down to the ground. As my body fell down hitting everything in its path, getting pretty messed up and half of my face full of bloody specks. I do not remember the events that followed the few second where my vision went as a white as snow. I can only recall this whole moment with help from my family members, who told me everything that happened after me taking off like a

Life jacket all strapped on, getting to the last step and I’m in. I feel the rush of the cold water running all over my body like a pack of fire ants attacking their prey. I let go of the ladder and step on the lake floor, slim, allege, little water bugs everywhere, the smell of fresh lake with a hint of fish comes to me. I walk around on the lake floor going deeper as I go, my life jacket starts to kick in and I’m loosing footing as I continue walking into the unknown. I get to a point where there’s a clear line where there’s a drop off, one side is the lake floor the other is a black hole. Pretty soon it’s me and the lake, and I just lay back and enjoy every bit of it. The blue sky with white streams left behind from the passing jets, making lines that cross each other every which way. The waves coming in from boats way out and beyond, gently hitting me and pushing me just inches closer towards shore. Birds sing their song, pine trees blow in the wind, sun beating down hitting my face, blinding me as it always does. I return to the real world and realize I floated back to where I started out, the lake knew it was time to head in. I step over to the silver ladder who spends its days and nights in this clear, cold lake helping those who dare to step in. I get up to the top of the ladder and step onto the dock, where my towel was waiting, to provide some warmth back to me. I wrap my towel around me and start the walk back to our beach house. I am careful not to slip on the rocks that washed up from the lake, and I make it to grass and flat

I slowly made my way out on the donut farther and farther. I couldn’t swim so I just used the donut to float. I know he noticed but he didn’t say anything so I kept going. A big wave had came and knocked me off the donut.

I run into the water and tumble into the waves. I feel them strongly hitting against me,I see my sister riding against the rough waves. I taste the salty sea water I got itchy sand all over I stood up just to be knocked back over.

I was falling. The seconds felt like centuries as I plummeted to my death. Silence around me, time and space seemed frozen in motion.

One day, the twins were at peace, because it was their birthday. They planned a party for all the Greek gods and goddess to go to. They Party was going to be a big bash with a party and an after party. Harper and Aquamarina invited King Midas to come because he was the God of Gold and the twins coveted Gold. King Midas kept turning things to gold and could not make it to the party, so he came to the after party.

The wind was in my face and it felt like I was flying, and next thing I know I had a mouth full of rocks hold on I’m getting ahead of myself let me start from the beginning.

A big smile breaks out on my face. Big red is what I call the big red outrigger canoe we own. I kiss dad on the cheek and rush out of the study. Big Red was were mom and me would spend our hours. Exploring the island together was my favorite pastime. Now that's she's gone I still go out almost everyday to feel close to her. I clutch the seashell necklace pendant she game me right before she passed away, sighing I tuck it into my shirt. As I climb on the canoe I push the big vessel out away from the dock so I can put up the sail. Big Red glides effortlessly through the crystal clear water. Looking down u can see all the exotic fish and corals of all different colors. I could live in this moment forever. I see some dark clouds in the corner of my and my heart stops. I quickly turn to the direction of the darkened sky and realize if I don't get home I'm going to be caught in a big storm. With all the effort I could muster I turn the rudder all the way to the right. The wind started hitting my face harder and the water became choppy. Struggling to keep the canoe afloat I saw an island in the distance. There's no way I making it home in this weather. CRACK! The mast snaps in half and falls right toward me. I watch it fall right next to me causing the wing of the boat to break off. I feel my body thrown into the air and hit the water, hard. Completely submerged in water I struggle to

Time passed by. A sailor was drowning in the fierce ocean from shipwreck. He struggled and tried to stay afloat, but desperation and death were stronger than him. When he was ready to give, he saw an island a short distance away. With his last ounce of strength, he swam to the island and pulled himself onto the beach. He lay prone on the sand, and couldn’t believe that he was still alive.

The next day I went to the to the shop at the campsite to rent fin's, When I finally got back, I put on My flippers and jumped into the water. I could feel my body changing temperature and me shivering. I tried to touch the bottom of the cave a thousand times. I just didn't have enough breath so I started practicing that. So after like trying for two days I finally told myself in my head like

I remember every part of my body freezing in mid air, realizing that I was going to fly fifty feet in the air. My mind went blank and my body maneuvered in a way so that I would hit the water safely based off reflexes. Glimpses of the pictures of the landscape around me, desert like cliffs, and arid/orange backgrounds seemed to stick in my mind. I distinctly remember feeling the whirling wind rush past me and the long suspension of my body in the air. How it felt like I would fall forever but at the same in a quick blink. I hit the water in a position in which my thighs stung with a burning sensation. After in the water, I stayed there for a couple seconds relaxing as if I was non-existent. Soon, I swam up over the surface smiling proudly but almost too harshly.

The movie begins with a calm ocean, disrupted by an unknown force and creating a tsunami to end the once great city called Atlantis. The Atlanteans were panicking as a giant barrier shielded the city. The scene shows young child Kidagakash tearing after watching her mother ascending to the crystal and
