Namaste sat on the rocks combing her hair as her father talked with Veles, their voices low. Tsunami was doing his own thing, playing with waves.
Inebar let out what sounded like a low growl, "I'll be back. Don't go anywhere." He walked away with Veles, their voices carrying for a moment. "What do you mean it's not going to work. Ben's been--"
Namaste was interested for a moment, but far more interested than she was her brother Ishmael.
His head was tilted as he went after the voices of his father and Veles. It was as if he was mesmerized. He didn't even hear Namaste calling to him to come back.
It wasn't long, before he had lost the voice but it didn't faze him. He was far more interested in the soft allure of treasure...He could feel it's presence not far away.

Vitalia sat at the lake's edge, growing some seaweed for the fish to eat. The lake had been looking bare recently, and that troubled Vitalia. There were too many fish for the lake's natural ecosystem to support. She frowned and skipped a rock across the water, pondering what to do about the problem.

Ishmael followed the draw of treasure into a clearing and dove into the smooth surface of the water. Diving, he made his way for the bottom of the lake where the pull was strongest.
There on the bottom, was laying a small locket. Picking it up, he made his way to the surface to examine it, completely oblivious to anything going on around him.

Vitalia jumped, startled at the mermale. "Where did you come from, young one?"

Ishmael dropped the locket and paid no heed as it drifted back lost to the bottom. He was looking at the stranger very interestedly. "I was looking for treasure. Who are you?"

"My name is Vitalia." She smiled and bowed her head, "What is yours?"

"They call me Ishmael," he smiled. "Dad says it's funny if I say it like that."

Vitalia laughed, "I suppose it would be, but it would certainly help if others had knowledge of why it was funny. I'm sure not everyone has read Ishmael."

Ishmael laughed, "Well, Dad says it's easier to get since we live in the water most of the time." He shrugged his shoulders.

"I suppose so. You said you were treasure hunting. Did you find anything?"

Ishmael nodded, "I found a lovely locket, but I dropped it when I saw you." He looked down beneath the waves, thinking about going to get it again. "I have a knack for that sort of thing. But it doesn't work on El Dorado, and my sister knows." He frowned as he thought of that again, it was a sore spot between Ishmael and Namaste.

"How unfortunate. But what does your sister have to do with the lost city of gold?"

"She's it's keeper." He said simply, "But she just won't tell. Says it's serious business and stuff like that." He frowned.

"I'm sure she's right. Things that have been secrets for generations are usually kept that way for a reason. Perhaps the city of gold must stay hidden so that we may live without the taint of greed in our hearts."
