Meanwhile, the Ramshackle Group, including the two Pomefiore students are flying on their broomsticks to the location Rook is able to track down. They really hope they're able to find Briar and the boys
Rook says with a smile, "Clear skies, warm sun... What prime flying weather this is!"
"It does look very nice," Briar says.
"And all I see is water," Jasper points out.
But Rook notices the look on Epel's face, "Hm? You seem a bit distant, Epel? Are you feeling fatigued from our long distance flight?"
"Well, there is that, but... I'm feeling floored," Epel answers.
"About what?" Rook questions.
"Your family villas were spectacular!" Epel answers, upset.
Rook is surprised, "Oh, that's what this is about! Well, you're always welcome to pop by for a visit."
"Those villas were mighty fine. I couldn't imagine just swingin' by on a lark..." Epel says. Then turns to the others, "You know what I mean, right guys?"
"I have to admit, your family's villas are incredible," Tanzanite says.
"I agree, but I wouldn't mind visiting them. Some of them are very pretty," Sereia says.
Trinket nods her head in agreement.
"Sure is," Jasper replies.
Rook laughs, "Hahaha! Perhaps I'll invite Vil and the whole NRC Tribe over for a pajama party. My siblings do use them at times... But I'm sure they'd be happy to let me use one, as long as I notify them in advance."
"Oh, you've got siblings, Rook?" Epel replies, surprised, "How many do you have?"
"Five," Rook answers, "Two are older than me, and three are younger. "
"Oh, so there's six of you..." Epel says with a smile. But soon becomes surprised, "Wait, six is kind of a lot!"
"Yes, we're rather a large clan," Rook says, "We only get together about once a year, as it's difficult for everyone' schedules to line up. But things get quite lively when we're together! Hahaha!"
"It's strange. The more I learn about you, the more mysterious you become," Epel says.
Jasper mutters, "No kidding."
Just then, Rook realizes, "Oh! Epel. Sereia. Jasper. Tanzanite. Trinket."
"What's wrong, Rook?" Sereia asks.
"We are approaching the area where my mark from Arrow Afar faded," Rook says.
That catches everyone by surprise.
"And that's where the Island of Woe is?" Epel asks.
"And find the others...?" Jasper adds.
"Yes. Let us descend," Rook says.
Everyone follows Rook down from the sky and the clouds and soon finds the large body of water, but no Island of Woe.
"Huh... I don't even see any sandbars, much less an island," Epel says, confused.
"There's... nothing here," Sereia agrees.
"That's weird," Jasper says.
Epel turns to Rook, "Are you sure this is the place, Rook?"
"I'm certain of it. There's no question Vil's group is here!" Rook answers, sounding so determined.
