As Zale was studying all the 12 statues, the shrine was becoming brighter without Zale noticing. "What a pure soul you have child" a voice boomed out.

Zale jumped up startled and slowly looked around to where he heard the voice. "Who's there?" Zale yelled out.

"Don't be afraid my child. I am a soul forgotten with time."

"Where are you speaking from?" Zale asked curiously, looking around him to try and find the voice resonated clearly.

"Child don't look around for me. I am speaking to you in your mind."

"How does that work?" asked Zale.

"There are many things you human call mysteries that can be easily done by gods. Don't question how anything works, since you will learn in given time my child."

Zale respectfully asked, "How can I address your Sir?"

"Hm, it's been forever since I've ever gone by a name. Just call me Atlantis child."

Zale looked around the shrine, "Sir Atlantis, what is this place?"

Atlantis answered grudgingly "Truth be told child, I don't know. I came around like you to become the master of this palace, and came to become a king of the upper realms. This palace works wonders to give those meant for the water power, and I see a pure soul in you child. A soul that resonates with water. A loving heart to anything related to water. I am surprised you have never ate any sea food. Pure to the very core. No wonder this palace let you become its master."

"This palace let me become its master?" Zale asked confusingly.

Atlantis sighed deeply, "Ah my child, there's so much for you to learn about. The mysteries of the palace. The realms above us, and the future you will hold in them. Child there's so much for you to learn, but worry not. I shall drill you the information you need so when you turn 15 in a little over a month, I can finally send you on the start of your adventure. I hope you will be able to accomplish what I never could."

"Why do I need to go do anything you say Atlantis?" Zale asked protectively.

"Child this is not for the benefit of me, but for you. This small star planet restricts you and what you can achieve. You are a prodigy here, but need to explore to what true greatness really is" said Atlantis wisely. "Don't belittle yourself child. Your future will be bright since this palace chose you as its master. I know you might question what I have to say, but give me a chance to talk to you about what is above you. A path to greatness that is held for you. A way to become one with water. Let me tell you everything child."
