Jesse P.O.V:
"Uhhh, where are we?"

"Better yet, why are we on a tiny island?"

"This is outrageous!"

As I stared off into the distance, I could hear my squad bickering behind me, complaining about the situation we were in.

I got off my knee, "Guys c'mon, knock it off... I think I see an island from here. So let's get building over there"

Lukas checked his pockets, before giving me a confused look, "Uhh Jesse? You do realize that that island is pretty far away, right? I mean, do we even have enough material for it?"

I shrugged my shoulders, "Won't know until we try. If worse comes to worse, we can just yell for help"

"Your optimism never fails to amaze me Jesse. It's idiotic... but amazing..." Ivor mumbled to himself.

We got to work, destroying what we could of the island, before we were left with four blocks for each of us to stand on. As I led the way, I noticed Ivor building some weird skull behind us.

"Uhh, Ivor? What the heck is that?" Petra glared at him.

"What? I couldn't help himself! I must say though, it's truly beautiful, is it not?" he fawned over his work.

We all rolled our eyes, continuing with out plan to reach the sky island. Eventually, with only a couple dirt blocks left, we made it to the sky island. Once we arrived, a guard I assume, stepped back in fear.

"You... you were building just now..."

I crossed my arms, raising a brow at the guy, "Uhhh yes? Is that a problem?"

"W-wait... you don't know? There's rules against building! You can build anything unless it is authorized!" he continued to step back, shaking in fear.

"Wait wait hold up... there's a RULE against building?" Petra glared at the guy.

"I'm sorry! I have business to attend too!"

Lukas side-eyed us, "THAT was weird... You think Aiden has already made his way into the city though?"

I nodded my head, "I wouldn't be surprised. We should head in, they do have a head start after all..."

My group nodded, following me into the unknown sky city island.

"No building, no crafting, no brewing, no forging, unless with EXPRESS PERMISSION from The Founder. All complaints must be registered in person. Wow! Talk about strict..." I mumbled to myself reading the sign aloud.

This place was turning out to be weirder the longer we were here. There was so many restrictions here, it was crazy! As I walked around, I saw Lukas near a stone wall, watching over a guard that was looking after some woman. As I approached the guard though.

"Jess-!"

I jumped at the sudden voice, turning around to see Lukas not standing next to the stone wall anymore. My eyes widened, running around the stone wall to see if he had hid behind the corner.

I looked around frantically, fearing the worst, "Lukas!? Hey! Where'd you go?"

"Jesse! Up here!"

My eyes trailed up the stone wall to see Lukas peeking down at me, waving to get my attention. I let out a sigh of relief, but then a question entered my brain.

"Hold on a moment... How'd you get up there?"

He scratched the side of his head, "Oh uh.. well.. you see uh-"
