I guess I was right when I said they were not all sweetness and light. I don't think they're evil, but they could be dangerous, especially now that they know their survival is threatened. I hope Eric can help them come up with a solution that works for both Atlantians and humans.

Eric and Herbie have a lot to think about. So have the Atlanteans. Thank you so much, Cindy, for reading and your lovely thoughts on this part. I hope you are staying safe and well? Big hugs, Sandra xxx
Comment from thaities, Rebecca V.
This story continues to be interesting.
You asked about the fonts. Yes, it is easier to read. It might be easier for you to write if the mind merging thoughts were in red--easier to switch. Just a thought.

Happy to help anytime I can.
Comment from Robert Zimmerman
Hello Sandra. I can never write a story about time travel because you have to write both ends of the story and make sure every detail matches both sides of the story. You did reveal an interesting fact that the Atlantean's want to know why they weren't seen in the future. That fits into some modern legends.

That's right, I want the story to, at the very least, feel it could be true. Who really knows? Lol. Thank you so much for sticking with me, Robert, it's nice to know you are enjoying it. Big hugs my friend, and stay safe! :)) Sandra xxx

You're welcome. Take care of yourself Sandra.
Comment from Mistydawn
I wonder if they will tell them the theories. This is a well-written chapter, very interesting start to finish as always. I did have trouble with this formating, maybe it just takes getting used to. I don't have dyslexia so my opinion isn't any help. I do hope you find one that works well for your grandson. I hope you stay safe and well too dear friend.

Thank you so much for the six stars, Misty, and for this lovely review. I think I might go back to the italics on here, and then when the schools open again I'll ask Eric's head teacher what he thinks is best, as it is a school for dyslexic children and for those with learning problems. Also, I'm truly pleased you are enjoying this story, thank you, my dear friend. I'm in isolation, so hopefully I won't catch the virus, but you just don't know. You, as well, stay home and write, and keep well. Big hugs, my friend. :)) Sandra xxx

I'm only going out when I absolutely have to. Which after the other days adventure I hope won't be anytime too soon. Darting isle to isle trying to avoid crowds, hand sanitizing every few feet.

That's the problem, so many people just aren't taking this seriously. You're doing the right thing. xxx

Comment from JudyE
Having the thoughts in italics works well for me. Another interesting chapter. I'm glad there is no thought transference between humans!!! lol Well, very little anyway. :)
Just a few things for you to think about:
When we arrived here we had over a million sea-beings, and four million mixed beings, land and sea.' Kon said after a moment discussing it with the other three aqua-beings - I might have put commas after 'here' and 'said'
'We don't move far from the oceans, they are our lifeforce - period after 'oceans'
Eric's heart thumped as he realised Kon had 'heard his thoughts - delete apostrophe before 'heard'
Herbie knew he needed to be looked at. In that moment, he decided that after this was over he would go back to his own planet to be looked at. - you've used 'to be looked at' twice in close proximity. Maybe one could be 'checked over'
Stay safe

Thank you so very much for finding those errors for me, Judy. I've made all the corrections and changed that last sentence to get rid of the extra, 'to be looked at.' Thank you for the lovely comments, my friend, I'm so pleased you are still with me on Eric's adventure. Big hugs, my friend, and you stay safe as well! :)) Sandra xx
Comment from Drew Delaney
An absolutely perfect piece you've written. No nits that I took note of and the story is seizing my attention. It almost is believable in some ways. Hope you are doing well with all this insanity. Be safe my writing friend.

Thank you so very much for the golden star, Drew! I'm so pleased you enjoyed this part. That you almost found it believable was a lovely compliment. :)) Yes, we have to self isolate because of my age, (I suddenly feel very old!) and the fact I have asthma. How are you doing? Is there much where you're living? It looks like we are going for the total knockdown later today. This is going to ruin so many companies, especially the small ones. You stay safe too, my friend, and thank you again for the 6 stars. :)) Sandra xx
Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
This chapter was well-written, Sandra. I like the info that it contained. It was 'spelled' out in an interesting way rather than just saying it normal-like. The use of the bold font for the thoughts works well. It makes it easy to know who is talking. Thanks for sharing. Respectfully, Jan

Comment from Ulla
Hi Sandra, Your imagination knows no bounds and I love it. Where this will all end is hard to say. You tell us! But they are certainly in for a challenge.
I will be honest, this format you've written this in doesn't work as well as with italics. At times, I don't know what is what. I had to concentrate very hard. Maybe it's just a visual thing , and maybe it's only me. How it would work for Eric, I have no idea.
I love the story. A big hug. Ulla xxx

Thanks, Ulla. I'm going to speak with Eric's head teacher. He's invited me to go and read to the children at the school. He'll be able to tell me what font to use. It's difficult to judge. I had one lady tell me that dyslexic children would have a problem with italics, so I'm testing out some different ones. This is a hard one!! Thanks for the 6 stars, my friend. :)) Sandra xx

Yeah, i can see it could be a problem. What I said here, was only what would work for me. Unfotunately, I can't see it through Eric's eyes. I only want him to get the full joy of the story, just as you do. I think it's a good idea to talk to a professional xxx
Comment from Shirley McLain
Oh, Is Eric going to get away from the Atlanteans and how did they Atlanteans disappear from Earth? Great chapter once again and I am ready for more. Shirley
