Now outside, a cobblestone path cut through the lawn that Calil had once watched from the window next to the lab, the view was dazzling.
An extensive lawn with strategically distributed, handpicked and mostly fruit trees.
Calil and Gsela continued walking along the cobblestones for a few minutes until they reached the station.
The technology Atlantis had was far beyond normal for the time, the station gave way to magnetic rails that raised a cylindrical metal platform with oval tips.
Every locomotives had drivers, but at that station only three were allowed to work to maintain a control and secrecy for some things that happened at the Atlantis Advanced Research Center (AARC).
Espionage attempts from various sources to steal research were extremely common.
“Honey, are we going straight home or going anywhere you want?” Asked Gsela.
"No, honey, let's go home, get ready, and then we go straight to the restaurant.”
The locomotive was just waiting for the first passengers, Calil and Gsela got in and courteously greeted the driver and then sat side by side.
It was not long before more people came from the research center, all came in, greeted the driver and all those who were occupying the seats, until the locomotive had a maximum capacity of 25 people to start the traveling.
Atlantis was a gigantic city that, unlike the way Plato spoke in his books, Critias and Timaeus, was not exactly in the Straits of Gibraltar, near the Spanish coast, but a little farther, in the southernmost Atlantic Sea of present-day Portugal.
The city had a size comparable to Luxembourg, it was a metropolis, using today's technical terms.
The locomotive was not very fast, the average speed was 70 km / h, it took some time to reach the residential area, as Atlantis was planned and was divided into commercial area, government area, residential area and rural area.
It had been a few minutes since the couple arrived home, they were both in character.
Gsela wore a long dress that almost touched the floor, it was white with gold details at the end of the dress, at the waist/hips a gold rope that entwined it did the work of splitting the maiden's upper and lower body.
On her feet, she wore a fine leather sandal, unlike the mens, who was made of thicker leather to endure day-to-day life, hers was more delicate covered with golden details, worthy of a nobility status.
At that time the women of Atlantis did not know much makeup, they only had body lotions that gave intonation the color of the skin and made them more youthful.
Gsela wore a pair of gold hoops in her ears that Calil presented her on her birthday, accompanied by two gold bracelets that covered her wrists with magnificent blue accents.
Calil's eyes sparkled as she watched her beloved's every step, she was charming enough to take glances from anyone who walks by her.
"Honey, I'm ready and you?" - Gsela asked looking straight at Calil.
The question didn't need to be answered, he was neat, ready to go.
Calil was also in white, the couple's favorite color, wearing a knee-length dress and leather sandals, a classic uniform of the time, what differentiated was the fabric, the details, and who wore the clothes.
Calil was a charming man, very handsome and sculptural body, at the time it was obligation for men to take care of the body and show the details of his muscles.
He was very tall, over six feet, easily said he was one and ninety tall.
It was full of muscle, apparent veins, so dilated that they seemed to want to explode from his skin.
His face was manly, green eyes, dark brown hair with a few light streaks, large lips, eyes not so much.
They were ready, and holding hands they left the house and went to the restaurant.
