    Update: **Until Smashwords takes care of the issue, I letting the fans of my books know that Chatter E (the person who did the last review) is an former disgruntled employee who only took the time to give the book a bad review AFTER he was let go. I have assembled a team of voice actors who will turn this book into an audio book, making it one of a kind. He is an 18 year old who is upset because he is no longer part of those plans due to his own 'limited reading skills' as he consistent misreads and misunderstood correspondences from our office. The reviews for the book, mostly are several years old, and since we just started taking up the voicing of the book in November, none are by employees and truth be one is from a person I knew when I first published this back in 2012, that person is now my wife.** I plan on writing 30+ books, but I need help from you, the readers. Motivation is a tool that I lack. Creativity is a resource where "my cup" runneth over. So, please, if you have anything positive to say, polite criticism to give, or you simply want to say hi, feel free to. And remember, a review can be a detailed essay or a simple "I loved it". I havent rec'd as much feedback as i would liked BUT the sheer number of total series downloads has been encouraging. A few more positive reviews and i will release the next in the series Century. Thank you to all who have supported me.

      Chapter One

      The evening sun basks over the conference room sized dinner table. The light reflecting off the polished extravagant silverware emanates an eerie glow onto the remains of a beautifully set dinner. The leftover portions of a roasted hog, stacks of fried chicken, platters of thickly sliced steak, and a pan of baked salmon makes up the center. Surrounding it are various partially or fully eaten side dishes of candied yams, mashed potatoes, corn on the cob, pan fried noodles, potato salad, and macaroni salad to name a few.

      Seated at the table are ten individuals all as different as night is to day. Standing at the master end is a man in black slacks, black muscle shirt, and with a black cloth covering from under his nose to the neckline of his shirt. His eyes are pure black with no pupils but they do appear to have a reflection of the candle on the table. Another man walks in wearing a monk-style robe. Black, bald, and seemingly in his 30's, he takes a place next to the man already standing at the master end.

      Welcome, how was dinner? Each individual guest provides some sort of a response.

      Good, would anyone like dessert? A few shake their heads either in agreement or disagreement, while others voice their personal choice.

      Let's get to the damn point! says one of the guests, as he slams both of his fists on the table. Silence overtakes the room.

      The Host says Sure Mr. Explode. You're right. Enough of the small talk, everyone knows everyone by now, I'm sure.

      A man who is overly handsome and dressed in some royalty-style get up says, No, not everyone knows everyone. Who's the mute? We have been here almost six hours and she hasn't spoken a word...

      ...Yeah, and what's up with the face mask and completely hidden identity bit? Body looks good, but I want see the face too continued the identical twin of the handsome man, also wearing a matching outfit.

      Well Zarr and Razz, too bad you can't use your special ability to read each other's thoughts on her instead or you might already know the answers to your questions, replied The Host.

      Humph. Zarr and Razz sigh.

      She, ladies and gentlemen, is Shadow; she is on hire from the Katsuya Corporation. She... added The Host until he was interrupted.

      Katsuya Corporation? interrupted a short, stout and rugged looking man with a face full of hair, and sporting lumberjack gear.

      Another man wearing tan khaki's, Hawaiian shirt, and mirror-like sunglasses answers, Yeah Rugged, it's a camera company,

      Why do we need anyone from a capitalist camera corporation? asks Rugged with rage in his voice.

      You idiot! You need to get out more. It's a front for the Japanese mafia, snapped the man in the sunglasses.

      Slamming the palms of his hands on the table, The Host takes back control of the situation, Enough! This gets everyone’s attention focused back on him.

      Back to the issue at hand, the reason you have been gathered here. Each of you has been asked to join this venture because each of you are world renowned treasure and relic hunters, each with their own unique talents or abilities which will help ensure the success of this mission.

      He surveys the room, Each of you will be paid one million dollars, half will be paid tonight and the other half will be paid upon completion of the mission. You will also be able to keep all the spoils of the trip that you may happen to pick up. All I ask in return is one item. That item is the Stone of Sunfire. A few members seem to have heard of it, but most seem to have no clue as to what it is.

      It seems that some of you have never heard of it. Well, I'm not surprised. It’s rumored to have only been seen by a handful of people, and the place it was last seen is considered a myth. Only a few believe it exists, Atlantis. Since proving Atlantis exists, which has been next to impossible to prove, the Stone of Sunfire is sort of a myth of myths.

      In a jokeful manner, the man in the sunglasses says, So you want us to find Atlantis? Good luck.

      No, Mr. Bebida Blood. Fortunately an even less known myth, told among several tribes in South America tells a tale that during the brief time of turmoil rumored to occurred before Atlantis sunk, a very skillful thief sent by King Foymama stole this item and returned it to him, says The Host.

      Tripwire, a skilled adventurer and expert on ancient traps and devices asks, King Foymama? The King of Greed?

      What's so special about this king? asks Gladiator, a very muscular, all American male wearing blue jeans and a USA Pride T-shirt.

      Glad you asked, continues The Host, "Foymama let his wife, the queen, run the kingdom while he sent spies and thieves to steal valuable treasures and artifacts from other kingdoms. He also led several expeditions himself. Foymama's main interest was in
