Declan Gregory,
PPC

His boots may as well been skis for how quickly Declan traversed the snow underfoot. Only after he scaled the mountainside and all but rolled down the subsequent embankment did he recognize the burning pain in his muscles. He panted for panicked air, cursing the thin atmosphere for the lack of breath, but managed to yell a defiant promise, "Screw Noah! I will never return to this cursed place!"

Yet the next day in the safety of the yurt base camp, his courage glowed beneath deep embers of fear. That previous defiance bristled with curiosity so profound, he sought out Soren to find out if his friend felt the same.

"Do you want to go back?" He asked quietly, careful not to let the natives hear the question. No amount of money was going to buy another guide, not now. But now, they didn't need one.

"Noah was on to something. I don't understand how he knew a discovery was there to be made, but he knew it."

As Declan spoke, it was as if he was trying to convince himself more than Soren. "Think of the fame and glory to be given my... I mean 'our' ... names? The greatest discovery of antiquity to be made since the Pyramids of Giza were plunged."

Anthropology, biology, religion. What lay beneath the lake may change it all.
