Strange Waters

The City of the sun and the man in black

They Atlantic ship had finally gotten to it's destination and it's anchor lowered while Tension had risen as they were all aware of the fact that they had Crossed the line to an enemy's territory were they were at a disadvantage due to the fact that their strength is in number and as it seems it was just a few warriors against the unknown.

 The warriors got out, the principals, Lord Nathan and Ibinabo took the lead and divided the team into two. After a thorough inspection of the abandoned ship, the prince was no where to be found and they found the royal stamp in one of the ships Chambers. making it certain that the Prince was definitely in this chambers and now somewhere in the woods on this island. Carefully, watching every step as they go, they infiltrated the island from different directions to meet at the center of the woods, as they search begun.

The difference in time and the climate changes was outrageously eminent as the nights in the Pacific realm were longer and the days in the Pacific seem to last longer. Two different worlds the were, The waters of the Atlantic had it's own powers that controls the affairs of anyone who was there and the moon was the dominant element. It was the same here, just that the Sun was the greatest source of power in the Pacific. Several hours after Ibinabo and her battalion came off the ship and it docked on the shores of an island at the Pacific, the sun was still blazing hot and the bright light shot across every part of the woods, the scented leaves were glittering as the sun rays reflected on it and the heat from the sunlight on them perspired their Mint scent to emanate through out the woods. To the advantage of Ibinabo's people who just arrived the island, they had a clear view of the environment and s conducive breathing space after such a hoarded sail in a stuffed chambers were everyone had to take turns in breathing pure oxygen in the ship. There was Tall trees, lonely skies, dead grasses, dehydrated leaves and dead flowers were the lots that could be found at every perspective of the island. On the other hand, Sun flowers, fine white sand, Fresh Air, bright waters, Oasis and smooth colourful Pebblestones were the beautiful piece of the island that made it look like the Island was just as promising as it looks from the outskirts if they further went on the territories where they would expect to meet livelihood and Artificial development. Just as expected, Lord Nathan suggested they treaded carefully as the breeze that hit them suggested that the environment was hallow enough to allow the air flow freely without buildings, structures, nostrils consuming it. He suggested they were on an elevated part of the island and there would be Slope soon. And that's where the people who habitats this land would settle. As all search for the Prince, his companies or trace of his trails or any clue of some sort came to no avail, the went further deeper and reached a dead end as the forest came to an end and there was an excavated cliff right where the trees and grasses stop. Stones and valleys dominated that part of the island right after the cliff. Once again proving Lord Nathan's theory to be accurate. On getting here they were sure they had gain possession of the outskirts of the island from the shores and the woods in territory and there was a relaxed atmosphere, swords were withdrawn, shields were let down and some warriors sat on the ground to catch their breath and await further directions from Ibinabo and the Physician, Lord Nathan. There was an idea to camp somewhere close to the shores further back in the woods and wait for the morning where it would be bright enough to assess a proper view of whatever lurks down the cliff, so they could climb down to a certain point and take a survey of what was down there. Lord Nathan disagreed with the opinion and rather charged two of the best of his personal warriors to climb down and see if there was anything worth waiting and exposing theirselves to attack in a strange land or sail further in search of the Prince. He called out two of his personal trained warriors who came with him onboard the ship to do his personal exploit without Ibinabo's command. They obliged and went ahead to climb down and see what was below the hills and before the could get too far down there were subtle in speech and countenance as they had a view below the hills and it beholds a great city with a well constructed wall that position through the whole kingdom from the gates through to how far the city was built. There was a grand gate with spikes and a tower that lets people in and let's them out of the city, beautiful lights filled the air as it seems there was some sort of celebration going on but too far off from the where the warriors stood to hear if there was music too. The started climbing back up rocks after rocks, hands on rough edges and strength on test as the struggle to make it back up. It was an easy jump and slide down but going back up would eventually take this time.

While waiting for words from Lord Nathan's acolytes to return, Sandy and Desmond were charged to pick up woods for fire as the evening finally came but that was only the moon only covered the sun to form a shade. The Night seemed like dawn, such a strange place yet beautiful and peaceful in a way. The Pacific ocean was silent and calm that night and the waves that earlier brought Sandy and the warriors down here gushed the water one more time and brought a cold breeze through to the woods. Desmond gave a loud whistle and shrugged in reaction to the sharp cold wind that hit him as his armour had spaces that could allow the air reach his skin. Sandy turned and looked at him in disdain as he made such a loud whistle, she tried as much to stay discreet as she could because she was scared and they were a bit further from the camp. As they both approached a corner, they split to make the search for sticks easier but before they were sent out Ibinabo instructed them to stick together and watch each other's backs and return together. They were to remain vigilant through out their stay in the Pacific world. Ibinabo and Lord Nathan took a walk to talk about their little disagreement and power conflict earlier on as it left an awkward silence between them right after then. It was obvious that Lord Nathan needed to address the situation privately with her so they could work together and figure out a way to find the prince and get back to their world. 

Some of the warriors were already making Spears from the branches of hard woods and trees. Some went fishing and waited for Sandy and Desmond's arrival do they could make a fire and roast it. Sandy believed she had picked enough woods to last half the night as it wasn't so dark after all. She called out for Desmond and there was no response. She yelled out again and listened for a reply but again it fell on deaf ears. She moved slowly and carefully towards the path Desmond trekked. She heard a crackle behind her and immediately she felt a hand right behind her cover her mouth from behind and a whisper to her to keep silent. She turned and noticed it was Desmond. She relaxed but still infuriated she took a jab at him, he ducked and pointed to a cave behind her. "There's someone in there"... He whispered. Sandy turned and saw a glitchy shadow from a small cave right ahead. "Should we go get the others?"... Sandy asked. But Desmond already proceeded to the cave and signaled Sandy to follow him. She hesitated for a second and then dropped the woods she picked and ran after him. The Shadow moved closer and it appears to be coming forward. Sandy and Desmond lay on their belly to stay out of sight while watching to see who was coming. The Shadow came forward quickly and right passed them was a human male figure whisking away in a rush towards the direction of the camp with a sword in hand and a veil on. "Let's go, I'll take him out from behind. Stay here"... Desmond said as he ran after the man in Black.
