The Lost Treasure of Atlantis - Part Two

He also knew that he and his people could not survive in the modern world, which was very different from the world they had known. They had no allies or friends, only enemies and strangers. They had no place or purpose in the world, only confusion and despair.

Atlas had decided to sacrifice himself and his people for the sake of Atlantis. He had used his magic to put himself and his people into a state of suspended animation, a deep sleep that preserved their bodies and minds. He had hoped that one day, someone would find Atlantis and awaken them from their slumber.

That someone was Jack and Lily.

"You are the ones I have been waiting for," he said. "You are the ones who can save Atlantis."

"Save Atlantis? How?" Jack asked.

"By finding the lost treasure of Atlantis," he said.

He told them that there was a hidden chamber in the city that contained a treasure that was more valuable than gold or jewels. It was a treasure that could restore Atlantis's core and its dome, and give it a new chance at life.

The treasure was a crystal of pure energy that had the power to create and destroy anything. It was the original source of Atlantis's magic, and the secret of its greatness. It was also the reason why Atlantis's enemies wanted to destroy it.

Atlas had hidden the crystal in a secret chamber that could only be opened by three keys. These keys were the same metal objects that Jack and Lily had used to open the door to Atlantis. They were ancient relics that Atlas had entrusted to his allies in different parts of the world, hoping that they would keep them safe until the time was right.

"You have found the keys, and you have found Atlantis," he said. "Now you must find the crystal and use it to save Atlantis."

He gave them a map that showed them where the secret chamber was located. He also gave them a warning.

"Be careful," he said. "The crystal is very powerful, but also very dangerous. It can grant your wishes, but it can also corrupt your will. It can make you greedy, selfish, or evil. It can turn you against each other, or against me. Do not let it tempt you or control you. Use it wisely, and use it well."

He then wished them good luck and told them to hurry. He said that he would wait for them in the library until they returned with the crystal.

Jack and Lily thanked him and left the library. They followed the map and headed towards the secret chamber. They were excited and nervous, wondering what they would find there.

They reached the chamber after walking through several corridors and halls. They saw a large metal door with a circular lock on it. They inserted their keys into the lock and turned them simultaneously.

The door opened with a loud click. They pushed the door and entered the chamber.

They gasped as they saw what was inside: a huge crystal that glowed with a bright white light. It was shaped like a pyramid, with four triangular faces and a pointed tip. It was suspended in mid-air by four metal rods that connected it to four pillars at each corner of the room.

It was the most beautiful and amazing thing they had ever seen.

They approached the crystal slowly, feeling its warmth and power. They reached out their hands to touch it, wondering what it would do.

They touched it at the same time.

And then everything changed...
