I stop, hand shaking, as I read the sixth file. The name slams home as something that Coaxoch said, during our skirmish in Teotihuacan, replays in my mind.
“My children will rise, soon, and be led by the worst of them,” Nicole says, reciting Coaxoch’s warning, the same one that’s on repeat in my head. “From under the ruins, they will come, at the beginning.”
“The Beginning,” I say aloud, knowing the meaning of the term used to describe the beginning of mankind as we know it. Apparently, Atlantis isn’t the only ancient civilization we have to worry about anymore.
Can it be? Could there be others out there that aren’t in this file?
“I know where they are,” I say, my voice shaking. I can’t believe I’m about to say what I think I am. Then again, Atlantis was real… So why not this?
“Where?” Kane asks, not putting two-and-two together.
“The Beginning,” I say, releasing the breath I’d been holding. “They’re at Babel.”
A MESSAGE FROM THE AUTHOR
First off, thank you for supporting me and purchasing this book. I truly hope you enjoyed it. I know I had a blast writing it. Secondly, if you have a spare moment, could you please leave a review on the website you purchased this from and/or on Goodreads.com? It would be very much appreciated. As an indie author, I rely heavily on word of mouth and social media, and every little bit counts. I don’t have some big name publisher driving sales for me (maybe one day – a guy can dream). It’s all you, the readers, and the more interest I get…the more books I can write.
Thank you, Matt
