"Well," she starts "Im not actually 100% sure where I am.  I mean, I have an obvious idea, but still.  You know?  And I kinda need to know how to get home from here."

She nervously fiddled with the trident necklace she wore, silently wishing her friends could see what she was seeing.

One guard a twenty something looking man with a light blonde hair looks at her more closely and then at her pendant.

"Were you injured ? You are in Atlantis, Lady Knight."

A school of brightly colored fish swims by more beautiful then a flock of birds.

Zoey blushed lightly, "Uh no.  I was somewhere else with some friends, and then I was suddenly here."

Her eyes brightened as a thought came to mind.  "Could you show me where I could find some relatives of mine?  Family of Van Drosa or Fah Lana?"

Guard, "We can't leave our post but one of us can lead you to an information terminal, you should be able to find your relatives then."

"That would be awesome.  Thanks."  Zoey will follow the guard to the information terminal and looks for her family, after being shown how to use it.

It takes a while but with the help of the guard she is able to find her families houses easily. Her trident necklace allows her to access a lot including how to get to her families houses.

She could walk or swim to the location.

Zoey thanked the guard again and decides to walk to one of the houses.  She had butterflies in her stomach and her heart felt like it was going to pound out of her chest.

OOC:  Zoey's going to visit someone on her father's side of the family first.

She arrives at the doors to a large home. A gentleman with blond hair and short beard answered the Door.

"Hello, may I help you ?"

"Um, hi.  I was looking for someone that wouldn't mind talking to me about Van Drosa?  Do you know him?"  She bit her bottom lip nervously, "Im uh, my name is Zoey."

He looked at Zoey for a bit, "Zoey, that is a lovely name." He notices her necklace and let's her in.

"I can help you out, what is it you wish to know ?"

Inside the house looks beautiful with columns made of some kind of clear energy inside which glowing seaweed gently sways. The walls have inlaid artwork of Atlanteans in battle. Some walls have tridents, spears and other weapons prominently places and polished to a high shine.

She smiled at the compliment, "Thank you, sir."

She felt a little more relaxed as she entered the home.  She admired the artwork and the weapons as she passed them, resisting the urge to reach out and touch them.

"Does anyone know what happened to him and Fah Lana?  They've been gone a long time, so I was curious if anybody knew.  She was a beautiful woman, right?  Of course she was, she's Atlantean."

He gave her a very curious look, "How do you know that name ? Gone a long time well I don't exactly know what your speaking of now."

He folds his arms giving a glance to another part of the home.

Zoey looked in the direction the man was glancing in, then back to him.  "They were my parents.  I was born Dhan Lara, but when they vanished I was adopted by a man on the surface and was named Zoey.  I've grown up in Maine, near Oceana, and until recently knew nothing of them or where I came from."

"This is all very strange, I am Zen Feros and my son is not really old enough to have a daughter." He calls out, "Van, come out for a moment would you."

A young boy runs out full of energy and looks at Zen, "Hi dad, oh we have company. Hi !" He says smiling at Zoey.

Zen nods, "Yes she comes all the way from Oceana."

Looking like she had seen another ghost, Zoey paled seeing the young Van. "Um..hello."

She looked confused and scared as she turned back to Zen Feros.  "This is probably going to sound strange, but what year is it?  I think there is something very wrong here, and...Oh, I think Im going to be sick."

Van looked scared, "Sick ? uhm do you need to go outside ?"

As Zoey looked at young Van she could see herself in his eyes. This was her father but very young.

Zen says the year in Atlantean terms and Zoey is able to figure out she is somehow in the past before her own birth.

She shook her head at Van's question, "I just need to sit down I think.  Something went wrong.  Im, Im not supposed here, not <i>now</i>."

Her eyes welled up with tears.  "Im sorry."

Zen motions to a chair for Zoey.

"Yes take a seat, something very unusual is going on." Zen shook his head, "No reason to be sorry at all. You seem confused. I will help out if I can."

Van looks to his dad, "Is this Fah Lana's older sister ?"

Taking a seat, Zoey closed her eyes and let the tears fall down her cheeks.  She halfheartedly laughed at Van's question.  "No, Im not her sister."

She looked at Zen, her grandfather, "Thank you sir.  I dont know what happened exactly, but I appreciate your help."

It was then she realized she was still wearing her school swim team bathing suit with the towel around her waist.  She blushed even harder and quietly asked, "Is there something I could change into?  I feel, um, really under dressed right now."

Zen nodded, "I can get one of my wives clothing for you. Come on Van."

Zen took Van's hand and lead him to another part of the house.

The camera then moved to Zoey's face as the realization of things hit.

Zoey looked like she was in a daze, her mind trying to wrap itself around her present situation.  On the one hand she was with her family, her father.  But on the other hand, she was old enough to babysit him now.  She laughed and cried silently as she sat and waited.  "Stupid book."

Zen comes back with a beautiful dress for Zoey.

"Here you go, I asked Van to go back to his room. You certainly look like your upset my dear. You didn't expect me to answer with the year I did, did you ?"

She stood and took the dress, wiping away the tears with her hand.  "I was hoping for a different year honestly.  Thank you for the dress."

"Im not sure if it will work properly with the way things are kinda screwed up right now.  But, my pendant has the last moments of my parents on it, and you could see for yourself."

Zoey looked at Zen, "I was with my friends less than an hour ago, at our school's pool. One of them had a book that we were looking at, he found it for me knowing how much I've been wanting to find the answers I've been looking for for so long.  Any way, when I took the book to read it, there was a blue glow and a vision of Atlantis appeared and it seemed to come alive almost.  People walking and swimming around.  I said that I would have given almost anything to come here.  And then I was.  Here I am.  I dont know why I was sent back so far, or how.  But I need to find a way home."

Zen said with a bit of disturbed shock, "Last moments ?"

"Yes let me see this."

"I will try to get you home, Lady Zoey."

Zoey handed Zen the pendant, "He gave this to me before they left me on the beach."
