???:" Do you still remember our home?"

???:" Yes. I still remember."

When the first rays of sunshine strike the mountain's peak, you can hear birds chirping, flowers growing, and children running about playing. However, not everyone appears to have that scenery. Moving across the water, we now arrive at an island that is shrouded in a hazy fog. The Mist Island. Land of the unknown. A place where mountains grow so high that viewing the summit of a mountain this tall may cause a person's neck to ache for the rest of their lives. A huge forest where every turn is the same as you enter. Walking on the white snowy carpet seems like you're plunging deeper into an unknown abyss underneath it. To many, this land shouldn't support life on it but some claim to hear haunting whispers reverberating across the island. The sound of children singing, a woman sobbing, or a dying man's agonizing scream. It was a nightmare to navigate. Mad as they are. There is still a group of highly armed people ready to trek across one of the island forests.

As they walked through the forest, the sound of whispers kept banging into their ears over and over. The voices were unusual and unsettling to hear. Furthermore, the sight of individuals dangling as if they were house ornaments is driving the weakest member insane.

"Screw this man, we didn't get paid enough. And why are we here anyway?" One of the party members said.

One of the armed men with a yellow badge on his arm turned around and responded:" Focus Johnson. Our mission here is to scout for our troop advancement. After we are done here, we will get back to camp soon."

"I hope you are right. Cause this place is driving me mad." Johnson laughed nervously

Suddenly, the party's ears are filled with the sound of a horrifying scream. In a panic, they pull their weapons and prepare to fight as the fog thickens by the second. To maintain the morale the man with the yellow badge jokingly said:" Johnson you better not pee your pants now."

No reply. "Johnson?" The man turns to his left fog. Turn to his right fog. The forest is dead-silence.

"Guys?"

A wind passed by and carried the fog away. Figures start to emerge. The man was relieved to see living beings, but then a terrifying horror rushed through his veins. It wasn't his man, but a dark towering man with horns on his head and a mask with bizarre carvings. Soon, more and more people like the man emerge from the fog, some armed with weapons dripping with flesh and blood.

"Oh, dear Titan." And then the fog becomes thick again and the man's scream is now part of the land.

Back to Boiling Island.

Luz the human, after arriving at the Boiling Island is now delivering potions for Eda with King accompanying her. She checks at the list of customers and notices that there is only one left to deliver, but this one customer's name has been circled and the word "grumpy" has been written next to it. Luz imagined an old guy dwelling in the woods. Luz shrugged it off and went to the house for the day's final delivery.

When she arrived at the house, it was a brick house with numerous windows formed like circles or rectangles, trees, and plants warping the house for decoration. Luz felt that for an old man living in the woods, he had quite a taste of where he lived. Then Luz observes a sign with the word "Tea" hanging from a tree.
