the... boat ride here was the weirdest part about this. the water was warmer here - on the first island that was. you had heard piece's and bits of the other island, how it was bare and ungodly warm from the totally not active volcano that sat at the peak of the island. or how they had next to no trees on the island. or...

how the water was boiling the closer you got to the island.

tested and proof correct. you followed the lead of the other island 2 peoples - following the group's movements into a river...

until you reached an city. the sigh at the read out to say " WESTHELM. " in rough and messy hand writing. players crowded around the docks, staring like you and your crew were new birds flying over the island.

... welllllll... you kinda were! the air was drier then the other island - the ground was dark with almost ashy grass, and most of the things you walked on were either stone or ashy grass that crunched under your boots.

after a while of looking - you spot a... guard? maybe??? his name was 5pyder. you learnt that after a moment of hearing him speak. " ah? you wish to speak to our leader? " he said, figuring that you were of some importance to schpood. " follow me. I shall take you to our emperor. "

much more stone paths that lead up to a type of castle - almost like a type of colosseum. 5pyder lead you, speaking and talking about the different things you passed by, that... rat that ran a food place...? truly this westhelm was odd. but it was your best bet.

stepping inside of the said colosseum, 5pyder took the lead into speaking with the lady at the front. before long - you sat in a room. thankfully without a ceiling.

it was an opened room, an opened ceiling where sunlight freely moved through the room, high beams of quartz and a darker stone that you'd never seen. as well as dark wood that they somehow had gotten.

their leader sat in the chair - two guards standing behind him like shadows. he wore a... striking chest piece. it had a type of a deep red fabric draped across his torso, secured by broad golden bands and or straps.

" so. " their leader - which you learned was named schpood...? " you are... from the other island, sure? " his tone was testing, unsure if you were really or just a liar.

" why is someone like you here? "

he asked, a piece of chocolate hair fell out of his brushed back hairstyle.
