The Treasure of Gekkisigma

Tommy Maccerati: "I made a few phone calls before coming here I have two boats that we can use to get to the island just follow me."

They all proceeded to follow Tommy. Alexey stared at the buildings in this city everything seemed so bright and lively. A bunch of ads and billboards in Japanese he didn't understand. A bunch of white streetlights that didn't look nearly the same as the orange ones in his village. Everything to him looked like something from a video game or from a movie. But before his amazement of the city could continue they arrived near a shore where they saw the two boats. They weren't the most luxurious thing in the world but with them, they could find the island.

Tommy Maccerati: "Listen up me and Zoran will go in one boat, Alexey you Johnny and Kushtrim in the second one. Have any of you ever driven a boat?"

Kushtrim: "I have, my family and I used it to smuggle gold from the pyramids back to Greece and then..." before he could continue Alexey interrupted him saying "YOU HAVE BEEN INSIDE THE PYRAMIDS?"

Kushtrim: "It ain't important let's just go."

Before they could even start the boats a tall figure with gentle but deep voice approached them and said "Gentleman is there room for 1 more?" Alexey instantly recognized that voice and that sharp jawline in the dark. It was the beautiful man from the boat.

Alexey: "Francesco is that you?"

Francesco stepped forward and revealed himself to everyone. Alexey instantly turned towards Tommy and begged him to let Francesco come with them saying things like "I need to know how to get that jawline" and "A man like that surely doesn't mean any harm to us".

Tommy Maccerati: "Fine he can come with us, but he is going with you on the boat Zoran counts as 3 people."

Francesco laughed and stepped inside the boat with Alexey, Johnny and Kushtrim. They started the boats and started driving in a direction that would hopefully lead them to the island. On the way there Alexey wanted to know more about Francesco and started asking him the usual questions.

Alexey: "So what is your last name?"

Francesco: "Why would I tell that to a complete stranger?"

Alexey: "Because... why not?"

Francesco: "My last name is Cappuccino some guy from my Italian side of the family invented it and changed his last name to it."

Alexey: "Damn that must be so cool. And what nationality is the other side of your family?"

Francesco: "They are Croatian, so I'm half Italian half Croatian, but I lived my whole life in Italy."

Alexey: "I think that you might kill me because I put ketchup on pizza."

Francesco: "I believe in not having enemies, but that truly is a sin of its own."

Before Alexey could ask more stupid questions Kushtrim said "I think I see an Island in the distance."

In front of them was a HUGE island covered by a thick fog. In front of them stood a challenge that they all have been preparing to come and face because of different reasons. But they all had the same goal to find the treasure of Argos.

Alexey: "Francesco why did you even come to this island."

Francesco: "I told you a lot about myself how about you tell me first why did you come here."

Alexey: "Ugh fine, I never had anything going for myself in my life I always thought that I would end up being homeless because my parents told me that they would kick me out at 18 because I sucked at school and school to them was the most important thing in the world. I always wanted to be a musician when I grew up I always wanted to make music that would inspire people and music to which people would relate, but I had no money for buying any of the equipment needed because in this economy it's hella expensive. So I got into reading Argos's books because of my brother and learned about this island, so I came here to find a treasure that would hopefully change my life."

Francesco: "That is interesting... and why did you want to be a musician when you grew up?"

Alexey: "Music saved my life a lot of times, once when my parents were arguing in the middle of the night I sneaked out through the window and came to a nearby field where I had a view on the other part of my village I sat there with AirPods in my ears and my phone listening to music from 2am to 6am. I watched the moon and the orange streetlights that flashed from the other side of the village while listening to some of my favorite artists that helped me overcome difficult situations in my life. At that moment I realized that I love being alone in the dark and I always admired how the moon was much smaller than the sun but in my eyes it shined brighter even when it wasn't full. I never did something like that again, but that was probably the best time of my life just being alone with my own thoughts and listening to music..."

Francesco looked at Alexey like he was the biggest emo kid on the planet.

Francesco: "Whatever makes you happy man."

At that moment they arrived at the island it was full of trees and tall uncut grass that was normal terrain for Alexey and Johnny, but the others didn't really take it well and started complaining.

Johnny: "Guys I don't know what you expected it's a fucking island not a five-star hotel resort."

Zoran: "Well it's supposed to be some magical island where a hidden treasure is located at least I hoped it was a bit more clean than this."

Alexey: "Please shut up..."

Francesco: "Gentleman please calm down I want to thank you for bringing me to this island, but now I have to leave you."

Before anyone could say anything Francesco started sprinting as fast as he could and left the group wondering why did he decide to run that fast from them.

Johnny: "Well that was weird."

Kushtrim: "Guys I think I see a building that looks like a hospital over here lets go check it out."

The group followed Kushtrim through the woods, and they ended up on a shore where they saw that building and heard screams inside of it...
