Russian Atlantis, a good description. “According to some of the legends in my world, Kitezh was the hiding-place for a mystical power source, hidden there by the Prophet who founded Kitezh and capable of granting immortality.” She’d wanted it for other reasons. It had seemed reasonable that near-limitless magical power could be used to get her back to the Inn and Kitty. Somehow.

It hadn’t worked out that way. “Trinity wanted it. So their leaders could be immortal, or they could make miracle medicines and hold the world hostage, I don’t really know. Trinity wanting something is enough reason for me not to let them have it.”
