Day 1: Today is the first anniversary of our being here in Granada. This place is truly fascinating; the dunes out by the Sea of Sand shift as if they are waves in the ocean. The people here created unique boats with a type of metal plating resembling iron that repels the sand. These wood and metal constructs stay afloat in this fine sand that one would mistake for water. What is this odd science behind this buoyancy?
I quickly learned that I can get sea sick in these boats also, even though we are not near a body of water. Who knew? At least the captain informed me that we will make it to the excavation grounds by night fall.
Day 2: While exploring a few ruins, I came across this journal. The language is old, ancient, the texts are a rarity to find it in any old book in the library. It will take me me a little over a week to be able to decipher the vowels and consonants. It might take me a month to understand the meaning of each letter and when put together what sound they might have made. These are all educated guesses, but I’m sure these texts contain much needed information about our excavation to find Laberynthea.
Luckily one of the worker’s grandmother can understand some of these symbols and gave me much-needed insight to translate these texts. This has cut my research time by months!
This will be the beginning of great discovery, and it will help us understand what exactly happened in Laberynthea. I wish I could see my colleagues faces when I show them proof of the City Lost in Time.
One of the entries is called “Obsidian Knight” it will take me a week or so to fully decode this text.
