It's been a week since lincoln, ended up on Tartarus and right now, he was outside his cave, cooking some goblin meat when suddenly he heard footsteps, grabbing his wooden spear that he made, it had a stone spearhead he expected a monster, instead a old man who seemed strong stepped out, he looked as surprised as lincoln did seeing him.

Lincoln: an old man?.

Old man: a kid?.

Both stared at eachother, the man didn't seem to have much, and didn't seem to be carrying weapons, and lincoln wasn't sure if he was a threat or not.

Lincoln: who are you.

Old man: relax kid the names Dean, and I'm not a threat I'm just looking for a place to call home.

Lincoln: where'd you come from.

Dean: give me some of that goblin meat, and I'll tell you everything.

Lincoln:.....fine.

Dean smiled and walked over, taking a seat lincoln sat across from him, he handed dean some cooked goblin meat, and dean gratefully took it as he began eating it.

Dean: so you new here kid.

Lincoln: name's lincoln and yeah I just got here a week ago.

Dean: then you must not know what thing's are truly like here.

Lincoln: the only thing I know, is the monsters are insanely stronger than they should be.

Dean: tell me about it, a goblin here has the strength, of a hobgoblin back home gotta admit kinda surprised, you were able to kill one.

Lincoln: I killed five.

Dean:*surprised* holy hell what weapon, helped you kill five Tartarus goblins this soon.

Lincoln: a rock.

Dean:...a....rock.

Lincoln: yep I didn't pick the weapons, since they seemed useless same with the shield.

Dean: huh interesting but question, do you know about the three great factions.

Lincoln: the three great factions?.

Dean: yes in the southern part of Tartarus, lives the eternal phoenix Arnaldo who's a strong fire magic user, he's insane as his entire faction is ruled by strength, those who are weak get trampled on by the strong, with Arnaldo being the strongest out of anyone in his faction.

Lincoln: doesn't seem like a good person.

Dean: he's not he's a tyrant, he got sent here for terrorism and arson, but besides him there's the lightning tiger twin's ria and Rio in the Western part of Tartarus, both are 12 years old and psychotic got sent here when they were 8, from what I heard it's because they killed everyone in their school even their own parents, because both have strong lighting magic they've taken most of the west, they're Prue evil and treat everyone who's with them like play thing's killing them just for a laugh.

Lincoln: that's.... troubling.

Dean: damn right and besides them, in the north lives the ice queen Gwendolyn, not much is known about her not even why she's in Tartarus, so nobody's sure if she's better or worser than Arnaldo or the twin's, either way she has all of the north of Tartarus, but nobody knows how she treats her faction.

Lincoln: so she's a mystery.

Dean: pretty much she is known, for having strong water and ice magic though.

Lincoln : interesting well what about you, what faction do you belong to.

Dean: oh I don't belong to any, actually I'm what's known as a merchant.

Lincoln: what the hell could you sell here.

Dean: simple people BOYS NOW.

He yelled expecting his team, to jump out and surround lincoln, so he could sell him to whoever wanted to buy him, but nothing happened nobody showed up, he was confused until he heard lincoln laughing.

Lincoln: hahaha did you actually think I was stupid, please this is Tartarus it's a living hell, I know damn well not to trust anyone.

Dean:*nervous* what did you do.

Lincoln: you should of known, no matter what don't let your guard down

Dean was now scared he started to back away, until he tripped looking he saw one of his men, with their lower part missing and as they reached out for dean.

Dean's worker 1: b-boss hel-p me.

Dean's face paled as he looked at lincoln, who only gave a sweet smile dean looked around, he saw his men all dying some were hung from the trees.

Dean: AHHHHHHHH.

dean ran away terrified, while lincoln only ate his food, smiling to himself as he saw him run.

Lincoln: idiot that was obviously illusion magic.

He snickered as he watched the rest of dean's men, run away in different directions, all of them experiencing terrifying nightmares.

Lincoln: hahahaha that's funny.

After that lincoln went into his cave, it wasn't anything special but it was something, and that's all he could ask for in a situation like this.

Lincoln: ok here's the information I got, there are other's but they are insane, thankfully they are all in separate areas so it'd be best to not interact with any of them.

With that said lincoln went to sleep, as the sun was setting meanwhile, all over the island were four people, a tall man beating someone weaker than him, two twins killing someone for no reason, and a woman who was watching the sun set, all unaware of the change's that would soon happen.
