A woman stood by the shore, staring blankly at the endless seas. Wonder where it might end?

Perla walked back into the jungle, not far from the beach, as she enjoyed the scenery of the green trees, the blue skies, the animals, and the low plants.
She gladly inhaled the scent of wood and wildflowers, and sat by her favorite place, under the shading of a tree. She laid down, closed her eyes, and she did not notice, she fell asleep.

Little she know, a ship of foreigners was up ahead the island she was staying at.

The captain lead the expedition ship to the shore, as his men sent a small boat down to the shallow sides. A man, of a very great physique. He scanned the scenery, and spoke.
(I'll be using English for now ;-;)

"Men, as we witness the golden sand, the emerald green forest, and the deep blue seas. As this beautiful land emerged, we shall conquer in the name of the King!" He spoke as he impaled the flag of Spain on the golden white sand.

Meanwhile, in the high trees, wondered her. Perla looked weirdly at the foreigners, and the ships that was brought by them.
She was utterly curious, as she watched the men carry their weapons.

Perla very well knew what a sword is, but what they brought is different. It boomed the shore like thunder, she flinched at the sound of it. She climbed down the tree, and ran to the shore.
Where she found the men.
She accidentally stepped on a stick, and this made the men hold their fire.

"Who's there?!" Perla froze, she might not understand what the man said. But she sure knew, one wrong move, she's dead meat.

"Come out! I can see you from here!-"

"Hault, men." Spain ordered his men, and looked into the abyss of green. He sharpened his vision, and carried his sword. He ordered them once again,
"If I didn't return anytime, just leave."

"But-"

"It's an order." He walked into the forest, looker sideways for any clues of what it may be. He went in deeper, and saw a woman... who was staring blankly to him.She sat on a tree branch, and inspected the man.

"...who are you?"

She didn't speak, she just jumped down, and landed on her toes. She approached the man, as she asked,

"What... Are you?" She pointed, as she also held the collar of her dress.

He was dumbfounded, by such a beauty. How can someone live in this?

He cleared his throat,
"Greetings," he put the sword in his scabbard, and put his right hand to his back and held her hand.
"I am Spain, sent by the king himself." He Kissed her hand, as she blushed, and pulled her hand from him. She protectively held it.

"What is it?"

"What you did, made me warm inside...." She looked down.

He smiled, and said.
"Do you have a name?"
She nodded and answered,

"Perlas..."
She smiled as she spoke, the wind blew upon the two. They know... Something comes between them.
