Alyssa and Zalina stared at Enna, each of them not saying a word. 

"What?!" Alyssa still stared at Enna, bewildered. "Enna, are you bloody serious? How did you get it?" 

"I teleported to a shop that sells boats," Enna answered. "And I bought this boat." 

"You're saying you had money on you?" Zalina said, looking Enna up and down. But Enna ignored her. 

Alyssa shook her head in disbelief. She knew they were only going to use the boat for only this quest. And after that, they wouldn't need the boat anymore and they'd have to return it. She couldn't believe that Enna, a lost princess, would waste her money on a boat that they'd just use once. Money had value! 

"Right," Alyssa scowled, getting in the boat. "Let's just get this over with. We'll sail around the Green Sea and find the Diamond Mountain, right?" 

"I have no clue what the Diamond Mountain looks like," Enna said. "Zalina and I... even though we've been lost princesses for a long time, this is the first quest Queen Angelica has ever given us." 

"Well, what do we do?" Alyssa asked. "None of us knows what it looks like, and if we sail we'd probably be lost in sea." 

The three girls looked at each other, not knowing what to do. Until Enna broke the silence when she said, 

"I think I have an idea of what it looks like. On the top of the mountain, there'd be lots of jewelry on top of it. I think that's how we can find out it's the Diamond Mountain." 

Alyssa pursed her lips, then answered, "Alright. We'll see." She went to the steering wheel of the boat and sat there, as Enna and Zalina followed, both of them getting in the boat. Enna saw Alyssa on the front of the boat, and her eyes widened. "You're driving?" 

Alyssa nodded, but didn't say anything. Before Enna could ask if she knew how to drive, she turned the steering wheel and the boat started moving. 

After an hour or two, the sky started becoming dark, and they still haven't found the Diamond Ocean yet, and they haven't seen any land. They were sailing through the sea. 

Alyssa looked back at her two companions, and saw that they both had fallen asleep. Alyssa thought that she was getting sleepy as well, and her heavy eyelids started to fall. She was asleep for a second, until her head hit the wheel which woke her up. 

She keep driving the whole night, and after a while she thought it was time to rest.

Alyssa opened her eyes, and realized they were on some sort of island. Except, the island felt cold and when Alyssa looked up and shook her head to wake herself up completely, she saw that they were on an island. Only, the island was snowing and had a mountain full of snow. 

She turned to where her two companions are, and saw that they were already awake as well. Both of them were staring at the mountain in awe. 

"This is it," Enna murmured. "This is the Diamond Mountain."
