THE WATCHER (Level 1)



In the caves under the famous Palace of Knossos in Crete, the Watchers sit. They watch the gold statue of Poseidon, god of the sea. Jim and Stella, an English brother and sister, are on holiday in Crete. With Nikos, their Cretan friend, they go into the caves. But the Watchers are waiting for them...
