Atlantis: The Lost Continent Page #2

Synopsis: A Greek Fisherman brings an Atlantean Princess back to her homeland which is the mythical city of Atlantis. He is enslaved for his trouble. The King is being manipulated by an evil sorcerer who is bent on using a natural resource of Atlantis to take over the world. The Atlanteans, or rather the slaves of Atlantis, are forced to mine a crystalline material which absorbs the suns rays. These crystals can then be used for warmth. The misuse of science has created weapons out of the crystals that can fire a heat ray to destroy whatever it touches.

His face...

I had not seen before.

I'm Demetrius the fisherman.

I am Xandros, Sailor.

Xandros.

From my homeland?

Yes.

And the others?

All strangers.

Where are they from?

I did not land know existed.

Most men of the sea like you and me,

sunk and came give this land.

We asked for sanctuary...

...but we got in return whip and chains.

How long are here.

A lifetime of suffering.

We lost account of time here.

I will not be enough to lose track of time.

These were my words,

when I was brought here.

The two standing.

There is work to be done.

Come... come.

They were once men,

healthy young men like you.

But how can it be?

They are monsters.

As they did, I do not know.

But do cruelties unbelievable.

From time to time,

they take someone without warning.

Where?

For the house of fear.

Are never seen again and turn into beasts.

Show him how.

Learn well and fast or feel the bite of it.

What is that?

The crystals grow in the crater,

capture the sun's energy.

The small ones are used to heat and light.

And the big ones?

Could destroy the world.

Come on, slaves.

No, no, no...

One moment, Highness.

Get these slaves the path.

Into the kill you, everyone.

Come on.

Move.

For your safety, dignity,

the way will be open at a time.

A gift for Princess.

Your insolent slave,

what are you thinking?

Zaren lied to us.

He put the man who saved

my life in chains.

I want it be punished.

But was I who gave

order to subjugate the Greek.

You.

His majesty did not had an alternative.

What right have you to speak for their king.

What does it mean?

The law.

The law requires all slaves foreigners.

And you my princess, that

aspires to the throne, must obey the law.

But what about my promises.

And his word, not mean anything?

But he is a foreigner.

And they all are dangerous.

It's true princess, I consulted

the stars and they never failed.

You saw my face.

The Greek would be killed.

And yet I spared.

Enslave it is not the way to thank someone,

that not only saved the my life...

...and risked his own.

Princess, you are precipitate, it can...

...gain freedom in Testing of fire and water.

He would not live, you knows it.

Father, please.

You enslaved.

Release it now.

You've changed.

When I left, was strong.

You were a king.

It was you who changed.

I wish I could help her daughter, I...

The law must be obeyed.

How dare you to speak for their king.

As if the crown was his.

And in fact you have it.

Oh, Azor.

Use your sincerity.

What they did with my father.

And what I did with Demetrius.

I know child.

Come with me, your prayers

are being wasted here.

These gods are false.

They are just stones.

Azor...

Such talk is heresy.

It's the truth.

Come on.

Upstairs is my daughter

home of the only true God,

who created all living things.

The true God is the moon?

Not Antilia.

His hand, created the moon...

And sent his strength

throughout the galaxy and stars.

That same hand, shaped the earth

with mountains and deep seas.

He gave life to you and me.

Pray to Him, Antilia.

He will hear your prayers.

There was another storm yesterday

night. More work for us.

Remove his chains,

it will come with me.

Wait here.

My orders are to

not leave it out of my sight.

Only men are noble through these ports.

Now this is not Greek is noble.

Nor is it a Atlantean.

The gods do not recognize

the presence of a barbarian...

...and he is one, is not it?

Yes, but I...

You will discuss with their gods?

No, the High Priest.

Wait.

Wait, Demetrius.

Why?

You need to hear me.

I heard once, and I in chains. Not enough?

I do not know.

Zaren told me you had

returned to Greece and I believed him.

Until I see him yesterday.

So let me free, now.

I can not.

Why not?

His father is the king who would

give me riches, remember?

He is not the same king I left...

Zaren, became the mighty man of Atlantis.

Then ask Zaren.

He orders to kill him if know that I love.

Love...

You brought me to that wretched

land, with lies and tricks.

You accepted my proposal

making me believe I...

...loved, never to return.

And all the time knew I'd be enslaved...

...this is love, princess?

I thought my father had abolished this law.

You lie.

Do not think of nothing

being selfish desires.

At first it was true.

When you took me in your arms,

my heart became his.

Your heart became cheap princess.

He does not pay the price I paid.

Give it to Zaren. Give him your love...

...and buy back my freedom.

Even his words smell like fish.

Well, Demetrius?

I prefer the company slaves.

Drink.

Drink.

Now,

You close your eyes.

At the command to send open them again,

you will be a bull.

All day and all Currently, you will...

...appeared increasingly with one.

Strong, strong, strong.

Take it away.

Bring Greek.

What would you be?

A donkey with long

and ridiculous ears here?

Or maybe...

A buffalo.

With large horns.

Here and here.

But you, unlike the others,

not remember who you are.

Perhaps this is appropriate.

Think of the fun of Princess

to see you as you really are.

A filthy pig.

Yes.

Bring orders my lord, Zaren.

He gives to Greek,

chance of freedom.

Why does he always takes the

best specimens of me.

But he will face Testing of fire and water.

Okay.

Take it.

I'm having fun in seeing his life fade slowly.

What worries him, Azor?

Pigeons, look at them.

In the past, they gave around the coliseum,

and returned their cages.

Now they all flew for the open sea.

Father Demetrius is.

Need to prevent this.

I do, my dear.

But Your Majesty, you do not

may disappoint his subjects.

Of course.

I should not.

There is nothing that can do.

By order of His Majesty King...

Demetrius is no longer a slave.

Here, amid our vast ocean, is Atlantis.

Our powerful empire.

But no ocean is large enough to...

...our power to insure and our ambition.

In the past, this crystal was

sufficient to meet...

...our needs energy.

But we can not live in the past.

If we are to survive,

We should think ahead.

And as a monument to

future, we must extract...

...an even larger crystal,

the bowels of the crater.

A weapon so powerful,

that in addition to Atlantis,

we can become masters of the world.

You speak without words wisdom, Zaren.

Do not listen to these words about war.

It is the fate of Atlantis rule the world.

The gods are not saying

we are a race of masters?

And it's not a matter of

conquer or be conquered?

Conquered by whom?

I will answer you.

One country alone can not be

no enemy to fear.

But together with other countries,

may represent...

...a force against the our existence.

Atlantis can not take that

risk, we must attack one by one,

our only chance to

survive is to attack and soon.

No. No. No.

Let us sit down.

You have weapons that

can repel any invasion.

Any imaginary invasion you can conceive.

The most important is that

deliberately isolated.

Atlantis of the rest the world.
