Two in one dayy again! So, anyways, what do you think so far? I need feedback.

As soon as we were back on the ship I smacked Xavier hard on the arm. "You scared me to death" My voice cracked. I could feel myself crying.

"Angel.." Xavier was shivering. "I'm sorry, really I am. But really, you were heroic, seriously, the way you jumped down so graceful. You gotta show me how to do that."

I took a shuddering breath. "I have half a mind to throw you back in." My voice rose to a shout. "You could have died! And you want to know how to JUMP? You are mental! I can't believe you! You need to be more careful!" Spit was flying from my mouth as I yelled. "I-I-" I broke down, so many emotions filled me and I sobbed.

Xavier stood there for a second, watching me. "I-" He began. Then he dropped to his knees and pulled me into a hug. "I didn't know you even cared." He mumbled. "No one ever cared about me." 

"S'that why you are so reckless?" I hiccuped.

"I guess." 

We sat there for what felt like an hour before Claire cleared her throat.

"Uh, Guys! There's an Island ahead." She called. 

Getting control of my tear ducts and my body took a second then I stood up. "Go get changed" I muttered as it wiped my eyes.

Xay nodded and left.

I hurried up to Claire and, sure enough, there was an island coming up on the port-side.

"Is that Willand?" Claire asked me.

"Yeah, what happened to it?" We looked out at the white island. It was completely barren. The rocky sides of Willand showed signs of being attacked as well as burnt to a crisp.

"Did the white volcano erupt?" Iroh asked weakly.

"Must've." Claire whispered. 

The volcano had left a huge hole right in the middle of Willand, the middle was still smoking. 

"It can't have been that long ago or they would have updated the Library, right?" Claire asked me.

"Well, they didn't tell us about the civil war in Bethiria and Symia." I replied. 

"Anne got some real explainin' to do." Claire said quietly.

"Yeah." Iroh and I agreed.

Xavier came back up from below decks. "So what are we- oh my Lydian-" He froze and stared out at the ruined remains of Willand.

"Xay" I began as I climbed down on the main deck, to stand next to him. "What d'you think we should do?" I asked his opinion not to do it but to see if he really was sorry.

"Well," he began suspecting a plan "Whatever your planning, Shawty, I'm with that." He said shortly.

"Good." I said, satisfied with the answer. "Lets go anchor on the shore and have a look around." Xavier goggled at me.

"Whhaatt?" He said. "Really? We can go explore Willand?!?" He sounded like a five-year-old on his birthday.

"Yup. Go ahead. I'm the responsible adult still, so this time don't wander off or do anything stupid!" I said remembering a time not long ago when something stupid had happened.

"Oh Yeah!" Xavier went and got everything he needed to 'explore' this rock of dried lava.

"Ok! Ready!" he called half an hour later. Luckily we had just arrived at the point I'd decided was appropriate.
