A giant tree house? Curiosity got the best of him and he started to speed walk there. He was almost there. On one of the islands there were a couple of houses and merchant stalls. He crossed that last bridge and now was on the perimeter of the treehouse.

He walked around and in the process overheard the conversion of some of the travelers. They were talking about the dissension of lapis and how it happens every 100 years.

(Y/N) remembers that he was actually there for the first time. He remembered how excited people were and how interested they were. He was excited. Though (Y/N) wanted to talk to Lapiz before his dissension. (Y/N) also heard that it would be happening in a month. Rian still wants to talk to Lapis before his dissension. So to save time (Y/N) decided to skip exploring this giant building on a tree.

Though something was off about that place. (Y/N) got the vibe that there was something powerful there. (Y/N) felt a pair of eyes on himself and it made him uncomfortable. (Y/N) unsuccessfully tried to shrug off the feeling.

He continued walking towards the harbor. After crossing the bridge, (Y/N) had officially left the premises. (Y/N) was suspicious though. That presence he felt hasn't left. (Y/N) put his guard up. He has to be ready for anything. (Y/N) just noticed that he's in Guili planes.

Surprised was an understatement. The beautiful building that used to shing in the golden sun where now ruins. 'Oh well, this place must have been in ruins for a while now.' thought the short male. (Y/N) remembers that this place used to be packed with stray cats. Rip to those homies.

He used to feed them his fishing spoils. (Y/N) really enjoyed fishing. It was fun. Water with his electric visions really didn't mix and it was hilarious. The walk through Guili planes was a long one and it didn't help (Y/N)'s paranoia that someone was following him. (Y/N) knew something was following him and he had a feeling that it was strong. (Y/N) kept trying to ignore it and tried to distract himself with the beatific view of the golden plains with mountains that would lean on each other.

(Y/N) stopped walking and set up a place to rest. He needed to eat. Looking around he saw a pond. A grin made its way onto (Y/N)s face. He hasn't done this in so long.

(Y/N) hoped that he wouldn't lose control and electrocute himself on accident. He squinted trying to find some fish in the pond. Luck was on his side and there were 3 medium sized fish. They were just sitting there, not knowing their fate. (Y/N) stuck the tip of his rusty polearm into the water and activated his vision. The water sizzled for a bit and the 3 fish magically floated up to the surface.

Now some may say it inhumane but it's not like (Y/N) cares. He is not even human.

Plus electrocuting them is definitely more humane than reeling a fish out of water and letting it suffocate on land. It was starting to turn in the morning. Wait What. Has (Y/N) seriously not noticed it turning night yesterday.

Whatever, (Y/N) had some yummy fish and that's all that matters. (Y/N) picked the fish out of the water and picked some chillies that were nearby. (Y/N) looked worriedly around and saw a hilichurl camp.

A sigh escaped his lips. That camp also had a little pot over a fire. Which meant that he could cook his food. That camp consisted of just hilichurls. Three of them had a wooden club and two of them had fire crossbows. Now it was time to test if (Y/N) still had his pazazz when fighting. (Y/N) took out his own polearm.

Looking down at it sadly. The polearm originally had a beautiful silver blade. Sadly over the years it has oxidized and the tiny blade at the end of the polearm met an even worse fate. It has completely broken off leaving a blunt end. The place where the blade attached to the shaft had bronze details with opal gems here and there. Though the bronze also had oxidized leaving a color similar to electric teal. The opals also were in bad shape, covered with dirt,dust, and soot. (Y/N) is definitely going to have to refurbish his polearm. It really did pain him to see it in such bad shape. That polearm slayed so many gods in the archon war and it was his hype tool.
