Lyna gawked at Hoshiya’s assertions about the oddities, Avalon lying down without further word, his black coat hung up on the bedpost. Lyna explained. “Well, I thought he’d be able to help me. Even if it was just a bit more information about the outside world, or helping me to understand the...

There was some chattering at Hoshiya’s claim. A look of concern passed over Chopi’s face. He glanced at Ringo, who crossed his arms, brow furrowed. Chopi stated, “I’m not going back on my decision. Press the issue and we’ll have to demand you leave now.” Waving away the crowd, he took Lyna...

“Oi,” Avalon grunted. “This place isn’t our responsibility. I just want to get to the next island. Maybe you know about all that stuff, but I don’t. Not that spending the rest of our lives here pretending we’re helping is really going to do them any good.” Turning to the crowd, he exclaimed...

“Hmm? Oh, I’m Lyna.” The group managed their way through the rippling grassland, slowly, the eve starting to come. “I’ll just explain it when we get there, since we have to talk to the elder too.” The group arrived before the last of the days light was gone. Ringo’s calls were answered, the few...

Lyna crossed her arms, head titled as she mulled over Hoshiya’s proposition. Avalon grumbled, “Well, I guess that’d be fine.” Lyna seemed to grow more and more concerned. “The first one is easy, but...I don’t have enough food for that. I got a compass lyin’ around somewhere-” “Don’t tell them...

Avalon balked at Hoshiya’s words, wincing, “Well she does have those teeth, but…” Scratching his head, he was clearly not sure what to think. Lyna was busy with her treatment, caking the wound in her salve, the blood flow stopped. Dragging him under the shade of the closest tree, she didn’t even...

Ringo’s arm flashed, the man drawing a pair of short spears, lightly concealed under his hide and leather. But the sound deflecting Hoshiya’s blade wasn’t of those bone tips, but metal. An axe held against the sword, Lyna standing in between the two, her waterlogged lioness hide left in the...

Avalon stared blankly at Hoshiya. “Uh...you’re kidding right?” Lyna looked to the side, averting her gaze. “SHE DID IT!” Lyna gaped. “Did not! You’re lyin’!” There was a rumble from Avalon’s throat. “What the hell are we supposed to do now? Weren’t we getting kicked off this place? It's not...

“Huh? Wha?” Avalon blubbered as Hoshiya’s condition deteriorated further. “Wait...have you not slept in three days!?” Locking arms at the shoulder, Avalon and Hoshiya supported one another as they headed back to the dock, not imposing on Lyna any more than they had to. “Let’s get to the boat...

Lyna relaxed a bit when Hoshiya’s blade went back into its sheathe, but Avalon didn’t blink. “Gotta leave already? I was hoping we could get some time to rest our legs, I’ve kinda had a nonstop shitshow since, uh...what day is it?” “Wait, you’re leavin’?” Lyna gasped. Glancing between Hoshiya...

“So why are you helping me?” Avalon wondered. Lyna sat down, crossing her legs. “Well, I’ve never met an outsider before. I thought lots of people were out adventurin', but we don’t get that many people.” Avalon shrugged. “Well, we’re pretty far out of the way here. Not a lot of trade routes...

The man’s eye flickered darkly, his sharp teeth showing through a grimace. “Oi oi oi oi oi, you’ve got something wrong there. That’s not our dock, that’s yours.” He started circling Hoshiya like a hunting cat. “You outsiders left it 15 years ago or so now. Well, that’s not right… They were...

Hoshiya’s path took him across the savanna plains, through the long stretches of grass, gradually taking him through areas less cultivated. The scattered acacia and marula trees stretched wide, but none could eclipse the distant smoke. The animals became a bit more prevalent as well, vultures...

The dirt path taking Hoshiya into the small village, it was fixed with an eerie stillness. While the buildings had a familiar style in lumber (though lacking in paint), architecture style fitting in with the nearby islands like Black Star or Tuol Skear, each and every home was completely...

“Huh? Oh...yeah, that makes sense.” Letting out a yawn, one followed by a gasp of light pain, Avalon muttered, “Let’s hope we can get to some land soon…” Avalon passed into sleep, his snores no less thunderous than they had been in the previous night. Morning came proper, and as their small...

Avalon laughed. “Well, home and unlimited food sounds more like paradise to me.” Sobering up, Avalon’s eyes drifted to the clouds and fading starlight above. “To be honest, I don’t know what paradise is. I’ve asked a bunch of different people and get a different answer each time. It’s heaven...

Avalon had let his head hang back, the pirate already starting to nod off. But Hoshi’s words made him jerk back to attention. “Huh? The Marines. Forget his name, Rownan or something. I was escaping a prison break on Tuol Skear. Only managed to get away because I busted up their hull with my...

With a groan, Avalon attempted some on the spot first air, dropping his coat and working to cover his wounds, fresh or otherwise. “You’re asking the wrong guy, I barely know where we are now. I just got lucky and followed another ship here. I don’t know the region well either, I’ve never been...

Avalon shot up to a sitting position, his hair matted with sand and blasted in random directions. “I came in on a boat but I don’t have food or water. I also need...blood.” Avalon flopped down again before struggling to his feet. Grabbing his chain, he yanked it, pulling the bolt free of the...

Blood still running out onto the deck, Avalon admitted, “I think falling’s about the least of my worries.” Feet hitting the black sands of the beach, Avalon chucked the cannon upwards, arm flexing as he yanked the chain. Pulled along, the artillery curved in Farah’s direction. It crashed...
