20: The First Lands

The closer we got the more people awed at the place. The coast was littered with trees and rock formations of gold, white and yellow. But while everyone admired the pretty colors I was enthralled by the magic of this place.

Magic swelled around like it was the most natural thing ever. The magic radiated from everything from the trees to the very air. "Where to from here?" I asked the Captain.

"The nobleman from Demacia will meet us at the town of Weh'le. Though I don't really know where that is." He says staring at a map.

"It's here." I reply pointing at the correct spot. Of course before I left Piltover I read up on all maps they had on Ionia to learn anything useful. Most people were separated in temples and smaller villages but nearly everyone lived on the western side of the main island of Ionia called Navori. 

The Captain nodded before calling out some orders for his crew as the ship changed it's direction to travel to our destination. "So, we're finally here." Jinx said as she approached me. "What are we going to do?"

"I think we should go to Weh'le first and make sure all these kids are on route to Demacia. Ionia doesn't have a government so our best option is to go to one of the high respected monasteries and show them the evidence I have on an invasion. The closest one is the Placidium of Navori so I guess we'll start there."

She nodded as we stared at the coast of Ionia. Just along the shore both living things and non-living looked otherworldly compared to what we are used to. Some things even appeared to be floating, slightly hovering above the ground or water. All in all it could only be described as beautiful. 

 Weh'le is usually a phantom port that you can't usually find on maps. But what most don't know is that you can find it if you give some magic into whatever map you're using to reveal it. That way it's used for more secret gatherings for outsiders of Ionia. While I'm curious to find out how the Demacians found it out I did noticing that maps from Ionia leek a miniscule amount of magic.

"What the?" I hear the Captain mumble. 

I look forward to see a massive cloud of fog covering the water. "It's a magical fog." I call out. "I can keep a lookout."

I go to the front of the ship as the ship enters the fog and only I could see less than two meters in front of themselves. The fog would deter ships away as it's impossible to navigate in here if you don't know what it is. The fog is Weh'le's defensive wall and is no natural fog.

I pointed out things of interest like if we were coming towards rocks or other destructive things as the ship moved slowly through the fog. But as the moved the second wave of defense happened. In the forms of literal waves. Waves far too dangerous and direct to be natural as they clashed on the sides of the ship.

People started to panic and for right reason. The ship creaked and swayed as it was obvious the ship couldn't take too much of this. "Dire!?" I hear the Captain yell. "What now?!"

"I got this!" I shout back. I run over to the side and jump off the ship. I grip onto the ships wood when I was just above the water. Waves crashed into me but I was able to hold on. I placed a hand onto the water and using my knowledge of the texts I read in both the Piltovan and Nasus's library I channeled my magic into the water.

The land of Ionia itself is magic, thus mages would feel at home here better than anywhere else in the world. We can interact with Ionia like nowhere else. The Ionians use magic to deter intruders and thus only a mage can get in. "Calm yourselves. We mean no harm." I say to the water.

Quickly the waves begin to lessen till the waters went back to being calm and still. After the waves stopped so did the fog. The cloudy air dispersed as I climb back onto the ship. Everyone watched as the fog disappeared to reveal a village lit by hundreds of lanterns with many of them floating in the air.
