Atlantis and Lemuria Legends

[Kai Frederik Lorentzen]

"'Lemuria again,' muttered Flaco.
'Problem with Lemuria?' inquired Sortilège sweetly.
'The Atlantis of the Pacific.'
'That's the one, Flaco.'
'And now you say this lost continent, is it's rising to the surface again?'
Her eyes narrowing with what, in a less composed person, could've been 
taken for annoyance, 'Not so strange really, there's always been 
predictions that someday Lemuria would reemerge, and what better time 
than now, with Neptune moving at last out of the Scorpio death-trip, a 
water sign by the way, and rising into the Sagittarian light of the 
higher mind?'
'So shouldn't somebody be calling /National Geographic/ or something?'
'/Surfer/ magazine?'"
