Short-circit

Archimedes acted a bit awkward after the nigh club. I think this was because he is starting to realize that he cares about me. And then he asked me if he could turn my fish scales into ninja throwing stars. I sighed in relief because he was acting like himself again and I politely said no. I asked him why he is always thinking about violence. He responded by asking why I am always so nice. I explained that I used to be extremely violent and I wanted to change my ways. He then explained to me that he was created with the intent to be evil and he could not fight it although he sometimes knows what he is doing is wrong. This made me question why he was searching for Atlantis to begin with, but before I could ask, he all of a sudden said he thought he was dying. He started to quickly swim in circles in attempt to not over heat, and I was in shock. I asked him what was wrong and he replied that he thought he was malfunctioning or something because he was built to be in fresh water, not salt water. He had never been so deep in salt water for so long. I became really worried about him.

Does he care?

There was a night club not to far from where we were. Archimedes wanted to go and although I knew that if I go anywhere heavily populated by fish I would cause a scene, I agreed. I just wanted him to be happy. He was as excited as I was hesitant. As soon as we got there, as I assumed would happen, the music stopped and all the fish swam away screaming. As the initial startle of me showing up calmed down, they all realized I wasn't trying to eat them. Then they actually started to try to get me to leave. This hurt me more then them just running away; if they see that I am not going to eat them they should give me a chance to be around them peacefully. As soon as I turned around to leave I saw the same look in Archimedes' eyes as when he was about to attack the pirate octopus. I quickly swam in between him and the fish glaring at him because violence is wrong. Before he realized what I was doing, he shot laser beams from his eyes towards the fish who were trying to get me to leave, and of course, thankfully it hit me rather then the other fish. It hurt. This showed the fish that I was actually a peaceful shark and they started to want him to leave instead of me. They gave me some of neon fish scales for saving their lives but we still left because we didn't want to cause more drama. I was curious as to why Archimedes shot at the fish. He told me he just has a need for violence, but i have a feeling that he was bothered about how upset I was. I gave him a chance to party,which he was extremely excited about, and he messed it up by trying to, in his own way, cheer me up.

The unborn clue

The mermaid's name was Amy. She said she would help us find Atlantis because she could not see darkness within our hearts. She handed us an egg and told us if we could successfully nurse the egg until it hatches it would lead us to Atlantis. And then she disappeared in another blinding flash of light. I realized it may not have been the smartest idea to trust her because almost everyone else I've met on this journey has lied to me, but this was our only lead. I asked Archimedes how we should carry the egg around with us on our journey. He said in his stomach. I thought he meant in his hatch, but he meant he actually wanted to eat it. I saw him swimming towards a rock to crack it open, but I stopped him. My eyes started to tear up a bit when I realized how truly heartless he was. He was about to eat an unborn mystery creature that was our only clue to finding Atlantis. I had to lecture him as if he was a child and I took the egg away from him. I swam behind him and put the egg in his hatch without him realizing it. he realized that I was no longer carrying the egg, i told him not to worry about it. Then I apologized. I asked him what he wanted to do while we waited for the egg to hatch. He wanted to go to a party.

The map

We fallowed the map for a while, and eventually we realized that it was just leading us in circles. I did not know what to think about this, but Archimedes though the octopus lied to us again. I didn't want to believe that, but it was hard not to. He had lied to us before, and I'm not sure how much I should trust a pirate anyway. Archimedes wanted to go back eat him, but I am against violence. I told him we should go back and have a word with him before even considering to hurting him. He agreed to not hurt him, so we went back. As soon as we got there, he pretty much pounced to attack him. I jumped in the way to stop him because violence is wrong. I was disappointed in him and that he lied to me, but this was not the time to deal with it. As soon as I stopped Archimedes from trying to attack the octopus, a flash of blinding light came out of no where. As soon as my vision returned I saw a stunning mermaid.

octo-PIE

The octopus had apparently lost eight of his pies. A group of evil red cups and bubbles stole them from him. In order for to receive his help, we would have to return his pies. He did not know the whereabouts of the cups and the bubbles so we had to go look for them. Thankfully they weren't far. As we left the ship, we noticed some bubbles falling from the top. We swam to the top of the ship and found the thieves and the pies. To our dismay, we noticed that it was actually the cups and the bubbles baking  the pies. The octopus lied to us, which I disprove of, but I understand. I know what it is like to be hungry, considering that I don't eat fish any more, it is hard for me to get a decent meal. So I politely asked the cups and the bubbles if they could spare 8 pies to help us with our adventure. They happily agreed, which is nice because if they were fish they would have just swam away. We brought the octopus his pies and didn't even mention that he lied to us. He handed us a map to Atlantis in return.

Scary Ship

Archimedes asked around to find the octopus' location. He found out that the octopus lived in a sunken ship south of the town we were at. Soon after we started looking for him, we found the ship and it was big and scary. I saw the octopus through one of the big holes. From far away I could see that he had an eye patch. As we got closer, I realized that a hook was in place of one of his tentacles. He was a pirate octopus! I cautiously entered the ship while I noticed that Archimedes wasn't the slightest bit hesitant. He actually called me a pansy because I was swimming so slowly. He approached the octopus and asked if he could help us to find Atlantis. He told us he'd help us if we help him first.

I made a friend!

I tried to ask some fish about this octopus' whereabouts, but all the fish are afraid of me. I went from city to city trying to find an answer. Eventually I found a city where the fish were to distracted to notice me swimming towards them. They were all huddled in a large crowd and I wanted to see what all the commotion in the ocean was about. As I got closer, I over heard the fish mumbling about Atlantis. This peaked my interested and I rushed towards them which scared them off. After they swam away, I could see that they were all huddled around a robot. I swam up to the robot and asked if he was the one asking about Atlantis. It was him, so I happily told him about the rumors of the octopus I was looking for. I asked him if he could ask some fish if they knew anything about the octopus' location because the fish wouldn't let me get close enough to ask them myself. He happily agreed and introduced himself to me. His name is Archimedes. At the time, he seemed like a friendly robot. I was really happy to finally have a companion for my journey.

Sharkie

Hello my name is Sharkie the shark. I used to be extremely violent and addicted to fish. I had a real problem, but I went to a rehab for sharks to get my life back in order. I am a whole new shark now and I am a vegetarian . I've decided to spend my life traveling and exploring the seas because it has always been my dream to find the lost city of Atlantis. I have spent the last year searching for Atlantis all by myself. No one wants to help me; all of the other sharks find me odd and everyone else is afraid of me. It has been a long and lonely road, but I finally have a lead of where to find Atlantis. It is rumored that an octopus somewhere knows how to find it.
