NARRATION 8: TIMELESS HISTORY

In order to connect with the original documented route, the three travellers were aware
that they had to cross the Lidenbrook Sea.
Having made a raft, as their predecessors had done before them, they set sail in a
Southerly direction.
As the air grew heavy, the surface of the water became a window of evolution through
which angular scaled fish covered with bright enamel could be seen dwelling amongst
pterychtis and depterides, the latter being a two finned fish, until then presumed extinct.
With the shore no longer in view, they lay motionless afloat the Lidenbrook Sea.
With all around them seemingly locked in timeless history, they could only wonder as
to what destiny would befall them.
As one they closed their eyes and prayed.
