[sometimes there are no happy endings! that's true. sometimes you are stuck in a brig and you know that you are likely going to die horribly in front of an audience tomorrow, and there's nothing you can do about it.

...it's located on an island, in the middle of the Sea of Time. Most of the outside world believes it's something out of a myth - and in fact, Lemuria hasn't had contact with most of the rest of Weyard for centuries. The island is surrounded by fog, rocks, and swift, unpredictable currents that end up with most sailors being swept back out to see or dashed against the rocks...
[she hums.]
Lemurians are extremely long-lived, because of the properties of the spring water on the island. Their king, Hydros, has lived for thousands of years.
They're not used to them, no... the last time someone from the rest of Weyard came to their shore was about a hundred years ago, after a shipwreck.
...they weren't especially welcoming to us, but... one of my friends was originally from Lemuria. But he got swept out to see, away from the island, after a tidal wave - which was how we met. He helped smooth the way for us.
At the time, and for a while, it was just five of us... Felix, Jenna, Piers, Kraden, and me. But four others joined us shortly before we made our way to Mars Lighthouse... so there are nine of us now.

Well, there were before I ended up on this ship, anyway.
It's less dangerous than traveling alone... there are monsters in our world, too, and they will attack travelers, but we've been able to look out for ourselves pretty well.
We can all use Psynergy... um, I guess other worlds would call it elemental magic. I don't know what mind reading has to do with the wind, but Ivan, who uses the same element as me, can read minds too.

You must have heard a lot of tales. ...are there any that stand out to you? That haven't lost their luster or wonder, even now?

After all, I would have never thought I'd end up here!

... however, I do not think there is anything wrong with there being sad stories. That is life, after all.

What was it like for him? Returning home? I assume he wasn't sure if he'd see it again.
no subject
He ended up leaving Lemuria with us, when we left.

That is never what you want to hear from a homecoming. Still, it is good that he had people he trusted with him.
