THE BOOK

It all started a long time ago. There were four of us at that time, all with the dream of finding the lost Ancient caverns at the North Pole. We all knew it sounded crazy, but I had seen this ancient Book which told a story about these Caverns at the North Pole. I had only read a small part of the Book at that time. It told a Story about these Caverns and a Special Race of beings that lived there and there secret Technology that is far beyond your dreams.

First of all, we had to obtain that Book, which could be hard because it was at the Professor's House in his private collection. I had seen it when I had visited him to ask about our study and which Book's would we need for the research. That's when I found the Ancient Book. I only had time to read a few pages, because I had to put it down quickly because I heard the Professor coming back to the room.

So now we have to plan a way of getting the book because I don't think the Professor will give it to us.

Well, after a lot of talking, we decided the only way was to break in and take it, we did not want to steal it, but it was the best way to get the Book. Because if we just asked him for it, there would be lots of questions, and most of them, we would not be able to answer at that time, and even if we could he still might not give us the Book. Now to plan the Big break-in ( well it was to us ) as we have not done anything like this before. 

We had planned to do it on a Friday, as we knew he would be teaching that day. Now we were ready for the break-in. And then the adventure will begin.

Well, the day had come, yep we were all nervous as hell, we did not want to get caught doing this, but we had to do it and fast because he would be gone only for a short time. So off we go, we found the back door still open, that was lucky because we had been worried about making to much noise braking in.  To be on the safe side, I will call out just in case the Professor has not left. ( hello anyone there, Professor, are you home it's Richard, I wish to ask you something about the research) It sounds like no one is home, let's go but take our time just in case. John asked which way to the Professor's private room. It upstairs, but we will call out again only in case the Professor is up there, Good Idea Sam commented,( are you there Professor), still no answer. Okay, Guy's up we go, we need to find it fast as we don't want to stay in here too long. We got to the room only to find the Book was not where it was before. We will need to split up and search, but don't make a mess, we don't want the Professor to know someone has been in his home. We had been looking for the Book for almost thirty minutes now. Oh well, it's not here anymore Luke commented and just as he said that, John cry's out got it. Let have a look, yes that's it, okay we have to get out fast, The Professor will be back soon before we leave check that's it all neat and tidy. All done Good let's get out of here, we will need to check and make sure no one sees us leave. When we get outside, we split up, and all meet back at the House, good Idea Luke, be careful everyone, it's all clear, let's go and fast. As Sam and I were heading back home, we felt that someone was following us, we kept looking over our shoulders. Still, we could not see anyone behind us, my nerves are on edge mate how's yours, mine too Sam replied, and I am sure someone is following us, but I can't see anyone can you, no I replied. 

Well, we are back at the House, at last, five minutes later John and Luke came in. They started to tell us; they had to keep hiding. As there were two other persons in front of them, that kept turning around as if they were looking for someone, and no matter where we went, I could still see them. I thought we were going to be spotted soon. Which way did you go Because we had two people following us? John explained the direction they went; Sam commented hold on that's the same way we went. We just looked at each other and started laughing, all saying at the same time you mean that was you, and you thought we were, yes we did. Glad it was you, then someone else, ok now let's settle down and have a look at the Book. We will take some note's as well. Sam made us all some Coffee first, then into it, we will need to take a lot of notes, as we don't want to keep opening the book up, as we don't want to damage it. That sounds good. Luke replied, I'll get the pads and pens. It was getting exciting now. We have a lot of working out to do and planning the trip. We still had to be careful. We would need somewhere else to stay as it would be too dangerous for us to stay in the dorms on the school's grounds.

I mentioned to them that we should be safe for at least two days, then we will have to leave, or we could get found out, and we don't want that do we. John agreed with what I said. Luke asked if I  had done this before? No mate just being careful.

We all stayed up very late that night, trying to understand what we could from the Book, some of it I wished I could have asked the Professor but we can't.  All of a sudden Sam yelled out, I've got it, we all looked at him thinking what the hell is he talking about. Well go on I said what have you got, and I hope it's not catching. No guys not that, but my dad has an old Farm House in the Country, we could all stay there, as it's empty and no one goes there anymore, and it's got everything we need. We thought that sounded good, how far away is it mate it's about twenty miles out, well that sounds good any shops on the way as we will need to pick up some supplies, yep just down the road there's a store it's only two miles from the Farmhouse. Perfect, so that's it, we have a place. 

At last, the day was here, and it was time to go, guy's, make sure we have everything we need to take, as we can't come back again for it, last quick look around and yep we are ready. We will have to be careful and make sure no one sees us leaving. Quickly load everything in the car, and let's get out of here before someone sees us. Okay baby startup for us, now come on, okay good girl, let go. Hope you know the way, Sam, I do mate, keep going down this road, then I'll let you know when to turn, okay mate, we're on our way now.

It was getting dark when we left, so that means we will be driving in the Country at night so I hope Sam knows his way, Okay better fill the car up with fuel, we don't want to run out Luke, okay Richard will do and better get a drink, sounds good mate. Sam was doing well remembering the way there, seems he has not been there for about three years, it was starting to get a little colder out in the Country, and our heater did not work, Luke needed a cloth to keep whipping the windscreen, he asked us to stop all the heavy breathing, then laughs. Well, the Farmhouse is just down that track Luke, okay mate, better slow down as there are potholes everywhere will do, at one time my head almost went through the roof, ouch that was a deep one mate sure was hope you did not dent the roof hahaha. Look there's the Farmhouse pull up over there, okay will do mate.  Just as we pulled up it started to rain, just our luck John said, now I'll get wet, don't complain, mate, we will all get wet, the faster we get in there, the better it will be. Take what we need now and get the rest later, a quick dash to the House. Where are the Keys, should be over here yes got it, good it's getting colder now, and we are wet, let get inside and warm up, look there's the fire I'll make it up now as it was getting very cold. John got some of the food out and started to cook us all a meal, fortunate for us he was an excellent cook, then time to get some sleep, we all knew it would be hard to sleep, but we had to as there's was No turning back now so goodnight all each one of us called out.

The Morning came very quickly, but we managed to get some sleep, so that was good as we needed clear heads to study the Book, lucky Sam had his Laptop because we needed to check up on a few things to help us understand some of the old words in the writing.

Fortunate for us we had been saving up for a trip, so we had quite a bit of Money behind us because we would need more Equipment and hopefully when we get there, we will be able to hire some as well. It took us about two weeks to understand most of the Ancient Book.there was a lot we need to understand. It was getting closer to the time to pack up and start the journey of a lifetime. We still had a few days to go, as we all know time goes fast, and that what it did, time to head off to the Airport, so we packed up only what we would need, making sure we have all our note's and the Book with us.

SEA CAPTAIN

The next day we hired a car, and all went to see the Old Sea Captain. Well, we got there, it was hard to find a lot of winding tracks. we were lucky as the Captain was home. We knew he did not like people coming out to him. He must have heard us coming, as we pulled up at his house, where he was standing with a shotgun in his hands pointing right at us. he yelled out,  get off my property, I called out to him, "it's ok the man in the second shop told us to come and see you"."well what you want with me."Can we get out of the car and talk to you please, "ok you can but stay by the car." we all got out and could feel his beady eye's on us" we walked to the front of the Car. We told him our names, well that's good he replied, so you have names good for you. But what you want with me, I asked if we could come over to him instead of shouting to each other. Ok, he said only on the porch, but do it slowly I got a shotgun with your names on each shell.

Slowly we went and stepped on the porch. I said thank you and introduced ourselves to him. What did you say your name was I asked, he looked at me and said I didn't, ok then, but I saw a smile on his face, OH come on in you guys, just having some fun with you all. We were glad to hear that, so inside we went. His name was Ben, and his home was like a big Second-hand shop, don't know how he could find anything in there. After a while he relaxed, we told him we wanted to follow the route of an old explore and do it just like he did, but we needed a Sextant, and wanted to know, if he had one that was for sale. He smiled and said yes, I have two, and it was nice to see four young men wanting to do that as most don't care anymore. So he showed them both to us, they both worked, he explained how to use them, and how it was there only way of riding the seas past all the rocks out there. Okay, we said how much you want for one. When are you leaving, he asked, In two days I replied. And then Ben said good luck and wished he was coming with us. And with a smile said we could have it for free as long as we took a picture of us all on the trip, As I would love to be doing it with you, but I am a little bit too old now. Yes, we will Ben, so everyone says cheese. It was time to head back now, so we said good-bye and thanked him again.

The way back was a lot harder as night time was coming in fast, things started to look different at night, so we slowed down, trying not to take the wrong turns, but we did a few times, sometimes we just went in circles. After a while, my patience was wearing thin, and the others could see it, so they started to talk about the trip, to help settle me down, and it worked. We managed to get on the main road; at last, we knew the way from there. Getting a bit lost put us behind time. By now our stomachs were hungry, so I put my foot down to get back faster, or we might miss out on Dinner.

When we got back to find out, Dinner had long gone, and all cleaned up. What now Sam asked, can John whip something up for us, have to ask first as it’s not our Kitchen. As we went to find the owner to ask if we could, she called out to us. I put your meals in the oven to keep warm, thank you we replied and rushed into the kitchen for our meals, well I have to say that meal hit the spot, we think she had put more on our plates, we could hardly move after eating the Dinner. Now we have to wash the dishes. Then to our rooms, we talked for a while before calling it a night, the day had been long, so we need sleep, and an early start in the morning, we need to find the Library and some more research as there was some part we still did not understand in the Book. This research could take hours to work out, lucky we were use to doing it. The Morning had come, and the smell of cooked eggs and bacon was overpowering. A quick shower then breakfasts, then the Library, have to take a flask of coffee with us. We are the first to arrive at the Library, and in we go straight to the section we need, we got a few looks as we were piling up the books we needed to study. Four of us all sat around the table. Trying to talk quite, and Bizzy taking notes, then cross-referencing. As we had to make sure, we had understood them right, by now the day was passing fast. Luke got up, to find out if it was alright to eat in their Library, and if so he would go and get some food for us all, He returned with some food for us all, which was good as our energies were getting low. John had found some exciting information in some of the books he was studying, so we listened to what he was saying, and it made sense, and it could cut about two days of the Journey, and we would still be doing it as the Ancient Book says. We were getting more excited about the Journey as time went on. By now, the day had almost gone. I asked the Librarian if we could take a few books back, to the place we are staying. She said yes we could, but you have to bring them back,  you don't want, my Husband the sheriff to come and see you, we will I replied, so we took a few books with us, as I felt we were missing something.

Back in time for Dinner, A quick clean up then time to eat. What a meal, I think we will miss these meals. We should all have time to do some more study, before going to bed, as I would like to check some of the notes, we have made to be sure we have it right, good Idea they all said. The night went fast and yes I was right in some of our notes, we had made a mistake, and this could have cost us a lot of time or our lives.

We had been working everything out by the Magnetic North Pole, and that could have put us out by thirty to forty miles in any direction. That's because of the Magnetic North Pole is always moving. We should have been working it out with the Geo-Magnetic North Pole, which is called A Dipole, and that is why we needed the Sextant. So now we have to work it all out again. I hope we can do it in time to catch the Helicopter ride.

We stayed at the House and spent our time studying and taking notes, only going out if we had to. I took the books back to the Library and got more out. We need to get as much information as we could. Once we are out there, we will be on our own. By the second day, our eyes were hanging out of our heads. Ok time to have some fun for a change. So a shower then we hit the town for some fun guys. Hang on Guy's I'll drop the books off at the Library first. Then we can hit the town for some fun. Well, that's the books back, where do you want to go first, okay John a few drinks, then how about that fancy Restaurant for a slap-up meal. Sounds good, Luke replied. Okay let's go, the Pub is down there. The locals are easy going and don't mind strangers drinking in there Pub As some places do. I'll Buy this time, two scotches and coke and two beers, please mate. After a few drinks, got to have a pee guy's, I'll come to two SAM says alright where is it over there one of the locals says, thanks, mate. As we came out from the Toilets, I saw notice board, so I had a quick look at it, ha Sam look there is a dance on tonight, how about we all go, never know our luck. When we got back to the other Guy's Sam mentioned the Dance tonight why not was the replies, okay then we will. It will be great to finish the day like that. Remember not too much to drink as we will be leaving early in the morning so no hangovers, well do your best not to. Well, the Dance was Fantastic, and it looked like John did okay, lucky him.
