Break on the island of pleasure

I just woke up. Yesterday there was a terrible incident on some snow island. A noticable amount of crew members died.

I just woke up. Yesterday there was a terrible incident on some snow island. A noticable amount of crew members died.

I look out of the window. It turns out that we already set sails again.
Our goal must actually be that mysterious island that weird man told us about.

We're on the way to an island, where a mysterious treasure is hidden. It's one of the amulets of magic.
While I'm sitting in my room, enjoying the view of a huge silent ocean from my window, Frederik comes to visit me.

Frederik I'm already excited about finding that amulet.
I've heard so much about these amulets.

I Really? Did you believe him, too?

Frederik To be honest, he seemed to dramatize everything.
But after the accident yesterday it was clear that it would be better for everyone if we just leave. Even if he was lying, we have a new goal and might find something there, even if it's not the amulet.
But if we are lucky, it really is one of the amulets.

I So you believe in the amulets?

Frederik Of course I do.
In our little village there was so much we didn't know. Especially about history.
So I wouldn't be surprised if these amulets also exist for real.

I So what's so special about these amulets?
Did you here about them before?

Frederik I did.
The three amulets are said to have been created long ago by the person who discovered magic himself. Only because of him the knowledge about magic spread at all.
A few generations ago, however, powerful pirates got one of these amulets and left with it. Since then, nobody knows where it is.
It must have become very powerful since then.

I Why would it become powerful?

Frederik These magical amulets constantly collect energy. They can only absorb a limited amount. But this amount increases when they are further away from other magical objects.
Since it is probably the only magical object in this whole region, and it has also been so long since it was hidden, it must now have absorbed an insane amount of energy.
If there really is some truth to it, I would want to own it myself.

I Yeah, I'd agree on that. I would be able to protect the people I like.

Frederik Right! No pirates would be able to capture us.

I Yeah...

We look at each other for a moment, just smiling.

I I think I should go on deck to get some fresh air.

So I go out on deck and look at the vast sea again, which is suddenly full of small islands.
I bet one of these islands is the one we're targetting.
As we move past one of the islands, I notice a person standing there.
It's a girl. She looks familiar. Wait, it's her. It wasn't a just a dream. Why is she-

Suddenly I feel a jolt and everything starts to get blurry.
I lean against a mast and close my eyes.

When I open my eyes again, I get up. I don't see the vast sea anymore, but just this island.
It's a weird island. The grass is pink and exotic plants grow everywhere.
I leave the ship to go ashore and look around. I don't know if the others are still on the ship or if they have already left. I just keep walking along the island.

Behind a dense collection of these plants, a bunch of cute girls are walking around.

One girl Oh, that cutie again.

Another girl Oh yeah, hey Luka.

They both approach me.

The one girl Could you please...

The other girl No, it's my turn today. Let me...

They both kiss my cheeks.

I Uhm..., you're cute, but...
I don't think, I have time for this.
I want to go back home.
I want to go back to Lena..., uhm..., to Felina.

The girls But...

I keep going and leave the girls behind.
Soon I see a group of people sitting in a circle around some purple smoke coming out of the ground.
Most of them are cute girls as well, but not all of them.

Everyone is eating yellow, misshapen fruits that are lying in front of them.
I sit down with them, and my neighbor to the left gives me some of his fruits. I eat one immediately, it is very dry and tastes of nothing. He is the guy I liked to be with at the castle town. The one I got to know in the magic association.

I What are you doing here?

The guy Oh, I was just bored, so I thought I'd take a vacation here.

I And how do you know this place?

The guy She was the one showing it to me.

He points to the girl. It's definitely that girl from the castle town. So she was real.
I take a closer look at her. She grins at me even crazier than she did back then and I start to feel insecure.

The girl Here! For you!

At that, she throws something at me. It was just a lump of earth that crumbles on my clothes.

The guy Look, she's better at magic than me.

Of course she is. Throwing dirt is more than you have done at the magic association.

Now Frederik also comes and sits down with us.

Frederik Oh, Luka, you're here, too?

He acts like he's been a part of this place for a long time.
He has even brought his own fruit, which he is now eating from.

Frederik It's nice here, don't you think so?

Before I can answer, he continues talking.

Frederik Sadly Moldero said we should go back to the ship soon.
So I guess we should just go back now.

Suddenly Penina comes, carrying her own yellow fruits as well.
But they are round.

Frederik Wrong fruits today.

Penina Oh, sorry, I...

Frederik It doesn't matter, we have to go now.

Penina I don't care. My father won't leave without his daughter, will he?

Penina sits down with her fruits as well, but everyone throws a mad look at her.

I Uhm..., I think I should really go now.

I try to get up, but I feel dizzy and briefly lose consciousness.

When I come back to my senses, I'm lying in my bed on the ship and Penina is lying on top of me.
She must be sleeping, too.
I push her down and she falls to the floor without waking up.

I begin to wonder if I am having halucinations.
Maybe I have some disease.
This must have been a dream as well.
But what has Penina been doing in my bed then?

I walk around the ship a bit to confirm that Frederik is still there. And soon I find him. So he didn't stay on the island.

Should I ask him about that? He will think I'm crazy.

Frederik I haven't eaten such good fruits in a long time, what did you think?

I What are you talking about?

Frederik Just the food, nevermind.

He can't be talking about the fruits on the island, right?
He must be talking about some fruits he just ate here on the ship. That's what he would say normally.
I'll just never talk about this. It never happened for real...

I go on deck and look around. We're still on the ocean.
Most of the small islands are gone now.
But I'm sure we'll reach our goal soon.
I hope I'll feel better than and this won't happen again.

Description
