TLCA/Intro
From Create Your Own Story
"Yes, yes!" The boss is excited. "Behold, Atlantice: The Lost City of Ice!"
"I don't believe it," you tell him. But you didn't quickly dismiss the idea. It is true that a lot of people have been looking for the other lost city, but discovering one that has never even been thought of as a real city and proving that it exists? Priceless. You have to hand it to Sky, this is a clever scheme.
"Well, you don't have to," he tells you. "I just want you to set off and prove that it doesn't exist."
You laugh at the boss's job offer. "That's ridiculous. How am I to go about doing that?"
"That," the boss pauses to finish up the last bacon from your plate. "Is your problem."
"Wait a minute..." you retort. "What you're saying is absolutely impossible!"
"Ah, that's the beauty of it."
"You mean that the spirit of adventure lies within breaking the limits thought impossible?"
The boss looks at you and grins. "Nonsense! The beauty is that you are going to be fired if you don't find it in a week! You've been slacking off way too much and firing you is looking pretty good for my wallet right now."
As the boss continues laughing at his own joke, you leave the office.
What now?
