As the cyan submarine submerged back to Credo across the Czarny Sea, we looked at the island. Scarlet picked up some of the white sand and threw it at the Czarny Sea to the long gone submarine. Fionn and Yuudai wandered to the hut.
"Why do they allow us sunscreen but not a life of our own?" Yuudai whispered.
Zena followed them over to the hut.
"Because they want to try to keep us alive as long as possible on this dust place. So we can suffer on this dust place without getting skin disease." she replied. Fionn went inside the brown hut.
"Check it out guys!" He yelled from inside the tent. "The hammocks have soft, crusty pillows! Crusty but soft!"
"That's just dandy." Zena replied sarcastically. Scarlet and I meandered to the hut.
"Well Coco, it has a decent kitchen." Scarlet said.
"Everyone knows decent isn't a great thing Scarlet." Yuudai chimed in.
"Mabon! Mabon! Come check out the soft crusty pillows!" Fionn yelled.
"No one cares about the pillows on this dust place and besides I think he is busy." Zena gestured out the window. On the beach Mabon was hugging the crying ex-fiancee of Emperor Cleon.
"I-I was going to kill him Mabon. I was. I just needed m-more time. I s-still c-can't believe he c-chose to court me. I n-never wanted that. My dad f-forced me t-too Mabon. It was a-always you Mabon I want to court. I m-missed you. I-I love you." She told him through a violent amount of tears. He had her head laid on his shoulder and stroked her platinum hair.
"Shhhhhhhh, Glorfinia. It's gonna be okay. I will make sure. I love you too." He comforted her.
"Does anyone know anything about Mabon' s past with Glorfinia?" Scarlet questioned.
"In the waiting room he told me that they lived next to each other. That is until she was forced to court Cleon." Yuudai informed.
"What kind of weapons did you all get. I got two knives." I quickly changed the subject.
"I got a dagger." Zena answered. She pulled a shiny dagger out of the backpack. Yuudai pulled a sword out of his backpack.
"I have a bow and arrow!" Scarlet was quite excited with the weapons she had acquired.
"I was given a pair of scissors." Fionn added with a dash of disappointment. Eventually Mabon and Glorfinia came into our hut. An obnoxious insect began flying around the hut. Mabon pulled out his Electric Paddle and slaughtered the insect to bits and pieces. Glorfinia was not given a weapon in her backpack.
"Coco, let's go exploring." Scarlet demanded. I grabbed my backpack off the floor and headed out to see our island.
Scarlet was in front of me with her red hair. Mostly all we had seen so far was palm trees, bushes, and the occasional small creature.
"Scarlet don't go too far ahead." I called out.
"Coco! Coco! Come here fast! Now!" I ran as fast as I could manage through the soft sand. My jaw dropped instantly. A beautiful waterfall of coasting clear water surrounded by giant natural colored rocks. Water lillies float effortlessly at the bottom of the rushing waterfall.
"It's-It's-," I started.
"Beautiful, amazing, incredible, breathtaking!" Scarlet finished.
"Defiantly. I think with should tell our crew of Absolutes." We ran through the sand to reach the hut. Out of breath and panting we attempt to explain to the other Absolutes that we had found a great source for water and entertainment. Glorfinia finally stopped bawling.
"She finally shut up," Zena whispered to Scarlet and I, "after several hours."
"Who do you think will die first? Empress Glorfinia or that nerd Yuudai." Scarlet whispered.
"Yuudai isn't going to die first because he can help keep us and himself alive with his wits. If anyone's dying first it will be Fionn." Zena responded.
"No one's going to die if we can help it," I added. "Let's go check out the waterfall."Fionn put on some of the sunscreen. We were all standing outside the hut except for Mabon and Glorfinia.
"They don't want to see the waterfall." Fionn closed the door as he said this.
"Ugh, fine!" Zena snapped. Scarlet and I had created a path with rocks to the waterfall.
"Your hair blends in with the flora, Fionn." Scarlet said then giggled.
"Why thank you Scarlet." He answered then laughed. After a few more paces we arrived at the waterfall
"Wow that's quite the waterfall." Zena commented. I could see how she had been chosen for Absolute. She has the bitter aura that I always envisioned an Absolute having.
"I'm gonna jump in!" Fionn decided then yelled at the top of his lungs as he jumped off the cliff.
"I'm coming too Fionn!" Scarlet yelled after him and did an intricate back flip into the water. Zena sighed then followed after them into the water. Yuudai was a man of few words. He hardly said a phrase to anyone in the group.
"C'mon Yuudai let's go in the water with Fionn, Scarlet, and Zena." I urged him.
"A-alright," He responded reluctantly. "Are you sure?" Before I answered I pulled him down the cliff and into the lovely lagoon.
