Atlantis: End of a World, Birth of a Legend Page #4

And the people go where?

You expect them to

camp in the streets?

I move them out of the city

while we repair the buildings.

Priestess?

Enough lives have been lost.

We set up camps until the

houses can be made safe.

And, Rusa,

the buildings are not

all we have to repair.

You take care of the gods, priestess.

I'll get the town up and running.

Archaeological evidence reveals that

the earthquake damage was so severe

that the Therans had to

leave their homes.

Their precious possessions

were discovered stored

beneath solid structures like

wooden doorways and under beds.

And the entrances to their houses

were found sealed.

Unlike Pompeii, no human remains

have been found in the town,

suggesting the islanders moved

to temporary camps, imagining

they'd be coming home soon.

For over 17,000 years the magma chamber

under Thera had been sealed,

But the earthquake had fractured the chamber...

Allowing the magma to rise.

You're as pious

as a priestess, Pinaruti.

There are others on this island

who could learn from your example.

Rusa?

He lost a wife.

And he blames the priestess

for failing to placate

the Goddess Eileithyia.

She died during childbirth?

They were only newly married.

Ever since, he's found it difficult

to put his trust in us.

If we can't trust you,

who can we trust?

As the magma rose it releases Sulfor,

and other poisons gases.

More omen signs of the intending erruption.

Are you sure it's safe to be this close?

- It's fine.

But what's that smell?

It's like rotten eggs.

That's the smell of the water.

I believe it drives

the bad spirits away.

We don't know why it smells.

Or why it's so lovely and hot.

Come in, it's great!

What's wrong?

Yishharu.

Yishharu, quick, get back.

The ocean... The ocean is turning!

You don't think this is a sign?

Everyrhing is a sign, Yishharu,

the nothing is a sign.

If the gods are angry what,

I'm to do about it?

Send the courier to the Crete, to Piteri,

tell him his cargo will sail in the morning,

And that his doughter is safe.

And instead of worring about dead fish,

Yishharu, try keep it that way

So what did he say?

He says that everything is a sign

and nothing is a sign.

Doesn't take it seriously.

A high priestess told me about your mother.

I don't know her...

...Just a few hours old.

And he blames the priestesses.

Who do you blame?

I don't know enough

to know who to blame.

I just wish I was better

at understanding the gods.

They're trying to tell us something.

- Your father's a powerfuland and sensible man,

Yishharu.

When he talks,

everyone listens to him.

If you can just convince him that

this is a warning from the gods.

My father's faith in the gods ended
