Aphmau's P.O.V.

It's been about a week since my ankle got hurt, it doesn't hurt anymore but I'm still not allowed to get up. It's really annoying but I guess it's because my friends just want to make sure I'm ok. Lucinda said that I can finally get up today though.

So I get up and get dressed, I also attempt to brush my hair. It actually looks ok today which makes me happy because I didn't have to tug at my hair. I walk up to the deck and grab a bowel of fruit for breakfast.

I was up here yesterday because we were island searching. Apparently there should be an island around here somewhere. We didn't see anything yesterday though so it's very confusing. Hopefully or compasses aren't broken because I really don't want to be lost at sea.

I sit down with Katelyn and Nicole and we talk about how we should be arriving soon. Nicole is excited because she will get to show off her brains. The next treasure place is a test of the mind so we will need smarts. Nicole is really smart. Which is why it will be pretty easy to solve all the puzzles.

"LAND AHOY!" We hear McCloud yell

That's strange, if land was close to us we would have spotted it yesterday. I wonder what's going on? I walk over to McCloud and he says the exact same thing, that this land would have been spotted yesterday.

We set sail for it. Along the way I make sure everything we need is packed in a few bags. Lucinda says that she has a bad feeling about this place and I believe her. She is a witch so she just knows this sort of stuff. Besides she doesn't lie.

After about half an hour we have arrived on the island. It is a very thick jungle but there is a path to follow. The beach is just rocks, no sand but there is a port. We dock and decide to look around a little bit. Lucinda suddenly tells everyone to stop.

"This island is the disappearing island of Gura" SE says shocked "Gura was a powerful wizard, he was very evil as well. This island disappears and re appears every day, taking anybody on it with it and then Gura kills them for potion ingredients"

"Oh my Irene, ewww" Cadenza states

"Yes, and if we are on this island by dawn tomorrow we will be taken with it" Lucinda says "So we really need to be quick about finding the treasure and answering the questions or whatever we must do"

We all nod and decide to stay together. After about an hour we have made our way through the forest and we arrive at a temple. It seems abandoned. I take a few steps inside and the doors suddenly close.

On the doors is writing. I read it out to everyone.

"Forwards is what you seek, but this riddle shall take a week, be strong and not afraid, and you shalt be played" I read out

"What the nether?" Garroth's asks confused

"It means the weakest person from our group needs to open the door" Nicole explains "It says 'but this riddle shall take a week' and 'be strong and not afraid, and you shalt be played', that week part actually means weak as in strength, and if you're to strong you will be played by the riddle"
