... Schpood still remembers the day he woke up on the first island. he remembers choking on the air of the island. he remembers the burning water - he might still have that wound from all that time ago. he... remembers it all, feels like it was just yesterday that he was just another person on... how many people on the island? 500? maybe a bit less after they figured out the water was boiling due to the totally not active volcano.

but... something he remembers the most was you. the last memory of before being placed on this goddamn island was you. you and you amazingly beautiful and handsome and sweet and-- gods. he just missed his damn lover.

he had heard whispers of another island - an island of green and clear skys. and... whispers of other players. the same amount players and. he searched the island he was on, so... what if you were over there? what if you were in the fresh air, the non-boiling water island?

honestly.

he wouldn't want to be any other way.

so when he heard about the chance of you coming to island 1 after the border drop? god, he didn't move faster. he was stood on his bacony that over looked the docks of westhelm, watching. for a moment, he thought maybe he was wrong, maybe you were.. truly dead like everyone was saying or maybe you were -

then he saw it. a flick of your hair - rubbed his eyes, once, twice, but you were still there. close but surely making it to the dock in that cherry blossom boat. it was... you. he stared, he watched, he freezed. he just watched for a moment.

... it really -- really was you. for a moment, the shell of the emperor, the man he built over the last four years disappeared, melted alongside everything else. he gulped, suddenly his hair felt wrong, his tunic was too tight --

letting out a sigh. would you like the man he became now? would you like the man that formed this emper? and he thought before he realize you were also staring at him, eyes wide.

he smiled at you, before turning back quickly hurrying down to finally...

after all this time, finally see you after 4 years.

after a moment. he stood infront of you, staring at you like you were a dream that was going to disappear.
