Atlantis: Milo's Return Page #4

---

...with a very upset stomach.

No, it's voices.

I can't make out what they're...

- Where's Volgud?

- His light is gone.

We could be walking in circles.

We'd better head back to the village.

And which way would that be?

Over there. Head for the lights

before the fog closes in again.

Just a moment. Listen to the gravel.

- Not now, Mole.

- But this is decomposed granite

which would mean we are

headed for the cliff.

Oh!

Audrey!

I'm okay.

For now.

Be careful, Milo.

I'm climbing down to you, Audrey.

Stay where you are.

Here I was, all set to take a walk.

Audrey, keep talking to me.

I said, "Thank you very much

for leading us off a cliff."

Hey, I was heading toward the village...

Lights?

I guess there's more going on here

than sea monsters.

Oh, great.

Somebody's doin' hocus-pocus.

I hate hocus-pocus.

I can't reach.

- I'll have to jump.

- Don't jump.

- I'll climb down.

- There's no room. I have to jump.

Audrey, I'm the team leader,

and I order you not to jump.

Oh, that's it!

See?

Audrey!

You see, you cannot live without me.

Gather the possessions

of the strangers and burn them.

What's the matter, Volgud?

You think we've got fleas?

Gee. You seem surprised to see us.

Definitely worm or leech.

Salamanders are too cute.

We'd like to hear more about

Volgud's deal with the devil.

It is an old wives' story,

a folk tale, nothing more.

Inger, we want to help.

Lives have been taken at sea,

and I suspect in this town.

I would love to let my little one

play outside again.

Long ago, the fish left the sea.

The town was in danger of dying.

A bargain was struck.

The souls of the people

for the life of the town.

- The Kraken?

- Sometimes known as the "devil fish."

The town is provided for,

but no one can leave.

And the sun has not shone since.

Folklore or not,

there is a connection

between the Kraken and this town.

Volgud hands out food

and supplies from somewhere.

Maybe a hidden cave?

I could search.

Would make a very nice boom.

Ha! The answer is

staring at you right in the face.

Regard how an igneous boulder

has been futilely disguised

as sedimentary rock.

They might as well paint a road sign.

They look exactly the same to me.

Yeah, but you weren't

raised by naked mole rats.

That would explain so much.

This is all from the sunken freighter.

There's Volgud.

- Volgud is controlling the Kraken.

- How?

Table scraps

and a rolled-up newspaper?

He's not using table scraps.

It's some sort of mental power.

Look at the workers.

They look hypnotized.

I think he uses that power

to enslave the creature,

telling it what ships to attack.

If we can rattle Volgud's concentration,

he'll lose control over the Kraken.
