[Just so you know, I DO NOT! own these pictures. I only found them searching around on bing...]

(Denzel's POV)

We have reached the lost river, after that annoying trouble in the deep grand reef...

I guess we shouldn't bring the cyclops this deep, we might lose our cyclops along with a whole lot of materials, and important items for research purposes... heheheheh

Oh damn, its been a while seeing greenery. I only see the sea, that is more vast than our planet's ocean...

Oh wait, I forgot about Symor's base in the floater island...

Anyways...

"I can see those mesmers again..."

Mesmers are annoying, though attractive at the same time.

They just umm, nearly killed me?
Note to self: do not get attracted... easily... (girls are better than mesmers, wait why do I sound like that one lolicon friend of mine?)

"Anyways, let's get into teams to explore this completely." - Symor

"Oouu!" - Chelsea

"Drow lots?" - Karl

[In the upcoming parts, there is going to be a like 3 perspective shifts to see all three of the attractions in the lost river; The Bone Graveyard where there is gonna be a lot of Ghost Leviathans, the Giant Cove Tree where the Ghost Leviathans are born, and the 2nd Precursor Base that has a lot of warpers lurking around...]

*Insert Interlude Music*

Anyways...

So, the teams have been decided, 2 guys and 1 girl, for each team, I'm teamed with Mecole and Shameah. Michael teamed with Symor and Chelsea, Jake teamed with Vina and Karl...

Hope that nothing goes wrong in the other teams...

"Now the directions..." - Michael

We all decided on the directions we are going and set off to our directions...

Me, Mecole, and Shameah ended up on the Bone Graveyard, ok... there are a lot, a WHOLE lot of mesmers and leviathans (I only see 3 but it is still a lot)

"So, this is the bone graveyard..." - Shameah

"Yeah, its a nice view

"Yeah, its a nice view... If there are no hostile fauna..." - Mecole

"Its gonna be fuuuuuun! Mec, got yer stasis rifle?"

""NO!!!!""

They both yelled at me in unison.... guuu such a nice ship they built while I was alone...

Anyhow this scene looks epic... Never really seen such a nice atmosphere... I finally feel calmness upon seeing this place... Hmm, should I make an attachment of my base here, that super long pass code will make sure that nobody can enter... I hope Jake won't hack it though, I guess I should make an 8 layer anti-hacker system like what I did at my home...

Meh, things like this seems nice to be in anyway, a calm and greeny BUT dangerous atmosphere...

Hey, I actually feel nice to make this another base... Symor did make the teleporting pads right? I can buy two of them from him, the problem is, they take time to install... and it kills power like a water filter...

The sightseeing continues...

(POV shift: Denzel - Symor)

"The cove tree, now this is what you call beauty..." - Chelsea

"Denzel said that this was known to be where the ghost leviathans are born."

"WHAT?!?!" - Chelsea

Chelsea backs out a few meters...

"It somehow is, seeing the creature itself, it's eggs are also transparent..." - Michael

"Well, we don't really see that much here, are these leviathan eggs?" - Chelsea

"But still, not much huh... why are the creatures themselves in the bone trench when their hatchery is here..." - Michael

"That question kinda makes sense."

We didn't really have that much to explore here but its still beautiful...

(POV shift: Symor - Karl)

2nd Precursor base huh, we can't really be risky here since I see a lot of warpers, once we're caught, its a dangerous game.

"So, let's stay hidden and find the entrance, I hope its empty like what Denzel said..."

Yeah, he said that; "If the surface base itself is empty then the other bases within the area SHOULD be empty as well..." Its very hard to think of it that way if it comes from a risky person himself, but we would only know if it happens again, Vina located the entrance and called us over, but Jake was interrupted by a warper. I went to the entrance so I wouldn't get lost anymore in this area...

I found the entrance, but Vina isn't here... Oh she's helping Jake out, such a beautiful ship... no one wanted to destroy it. I should just watch...

It didn't take long for them to disable that warper, we met up again in the entrance and began adventuring into the area...

Oh man, I expected it to be clear of water but my expectations were not met huh...

Meh, its not that much different anyway...

2 hours later...

"Not that much found here, I would've preferred if I found the cure already but no, its not here I guess..."

"I agree, but we're back to square one again..." - Vina

"I guess so, we might find hints anytime soon if we explore again but we need to take a rest first." - Jake

"Hope that it comes sooner."

We returned to the lost river...

(POV shift: Karl - Denzel)

Ok, now we're back here, all in one piece at the bone graveyard... but still no clue where to find the cure huh...

We all exchanged information regarding the "tour areas" which are "completely safe" except for the bone trench where we had trouble because of the damn mesmers, river prowlers, bleeders, and ghost leviathans... talk about annoying...

Can't really expect much more but we should go back home now, though I'll stay since I have a whole lot of materials to build my second base here...

I accompanied them until they found an exit but...

"Are we lost?" - Chelsea

"Lies... we've never been lost before..." - Shameah

"I guess we're lost..."

Knew it, we're all lost here.

"Oh damn, looks like we're lost in the lost river..." - Michael

"You know what, we should find a more different colored underground biome before we make progress, just don't bump into the cove tree because we might get into trouble..." - Symor

"You know, I am planning to make a base here. Symor, got your teleport pads in your cyclops right?"

"Yes, ooh nice one!" - Symor

He knew about what I'm thinking of... ofcourse, we do not want to be stuck here forever...




HAPPY NEW YEAR GUYS, I'll write a new year's special tomorrow...
