Before you start reading I should mention that there will be episodes that are filler. This is because I have plenty of characters I want to put in this series, some made up, other from other media sources and modified. I do acknowledge that I don't own those modified characters, I thought they'd be fun to use. With that out of the way, please enjoy.

            It is nighttime over a settlement on one of the Refugee Isles, the Hope Island settlement on the west is quiet with only the sounds of wind flowing over the foliage, but the docks are different. Over on the docks, workers prepare to ship out crates full of rice, coconuts, vanilla, etc. to the other settlements and beyond.

"Just a few more hours, then we can enjoy our next two days off," says one of shipment workers.

"Agreed," responds one of the other workers.

The workers are about to put the last two crates on the ship when suddenly one of them hears something.

"What was that?"

"What was what?"

"You didn't hear that, it sounded like a loud hiss or something."

Suddenly, the worker's manager comes over with a frustrated look on his face.

"Why are you standing there, get those crates in NOW!!!" the manager continues to rant as something was sneaking up behind him scaring the workers.

"What's gotten into y'all?"

One of the workers points behind the manager. The manager looks behind him to then see some sort of reptile like creature. The creature then attacks leaving screams and pleas for help to be heard throughout the dark docks.

One Week Later...

As the sun rises on the settlement on the Isles of Eden, John is inside the forest practicing his powers. Everywhere in the area ice shards and cold marks can be seen as John continues to practice his abilities. John honestly would rather be asleep, but something inside pushes him to practice. John knows that it's the same feeling that's been in him since he first turned into that blue ice raptor dragon thing. As John continues to practice his abilities, he wonders to himself, "What actually causes the transformation?" As he wonders. John finally notices the sun and thinks to himself, "How long have I been practicing for?" John decides that enough for the day and heads back to the settlement. Luckily, John is only a few miles from the settlement, so the trip isn't long. When John arrives back to the settlement, he thinks about the fossa cub currently living with him at his place and decides he should probably get food for both him and the cub.

As John heads to the docks to buy some food he sees a sign that says "Eden Market" as this is where the Refugee Isles go to trade and ship resources that each of the isles are known to have the most to each other. John manages to get some beef, chicken, fish, lobster, veggies, and fruits. The beef and chicken are local while the other from was Isle de Nuevo Comienzo since they're known for their produce and seafood. John decides to go see what else he could get with his credits. As he walks through the Market, he notices booths operated by people from different isles and their main goods. Metal tools from Sakurajima, potatoes and other root vegetables from Spud Island, and seafood and most produce from Isle de Nuevo Comienzo. John also spots some local booths mainly trading meat, fur, and hide. But the booths John is interested in the most are the ones run by the Hope Island settlers for their exotic fruits and rice that's twice as big as normal rice due to the environment over there. John continues to s3earch for Hope Island booth, but after 15 minutes he is surprised to find that there aren't any to be found. John is frustrated about the lack of Hope Island booths when he suddenly hears somethings that catches his attention.
