After an intense fight with his master Kadan, Kael just ran away.


Maris didn't hesitate for long to run after him as long as all the other fighters are still baffled from this unexpected outcome.



Maris changed her mind about Kael and wants him to be a new crew member now.


But she has to leave anyway.

Maris wakes up. A cute girl around her age is hugging her.


It's Zenna.


As Maris sits up, Zenna also wakes up.


She smiles at Maris, but keeps lying next to her.



Kael isn't there anymore. He must have left already.


Rafferty is still asleep, th

Maris and Rafferty spent most of their day in the Island Town with their newfound friend Zenna.



It's getting late, so the three of them go back to the sword fighter island.



By the time they reach their goal after a while, it's already dark, and as expected most of the sword fighters are gone.


Only a few of them are standing around

Maris is still sitting in the library. Rafferty is really getting annoyed already.


He almost fell asleep already, but now he's walking around again, looking at the banners of these books.


He can't read, but at least some of them have nice pictures on them.



Maris is reading a book about the sword fighting culture of this town.

Maris and Rafferty just entered the library on the Island Town.


Maris is really excited to learn about new cultures.


She immediately looks through the shelves of old books, while Rafferty is just wandereing around, slighly bored.



Maris:


This place is amazing!

After traveling the seas for a while, captain Maris and her first crew member Rafferty finally reach the Island Town.


As the name might suggest, it's a single town built onto multiple mostly rather small islands.



The islands are connected by bridges.


A few islands in the center seem especially populated.

Maris and Rafferty just escaped the pirates.


They go down and Rafferty immediately starts to explore the ship on his own.


It's not small, but also not that huge.


Only four bedrooms, one huge livingroom, one kitchen and downwards there must be some machinery and storage rooms.



In the meantim

As Maris is traveling along the ocean on her own, she enjoys the sunny weather and the pleasent wind.



She isn't exactly sure what her next goal should be.


But the Island Town shouldn't be too far away.


She doesn't know a lot about this town, but it might be a promising stop.


There usually l

After swimming along the coast for a while, Maris and Rafferty reach the port.


As they get out of the water, their clothes are completely red now.


Maris looks annoyed at Rafferty, but he only smiles.



Rafferty: Sometimes you have to make sacrifices if you want to get away with things.

While walking towards the port with her new crew, Maris is getting more and more concerned.


Only now she realizes, what it means to have a crew on her ship.


She doesn't like that thought.



Four new crew members, she just got to know with her alone is a huge risk.


She doesn't even know them p

Maris just left her home with the Light of Cian, her new ship. Now she's on her way to her first stop, the Pirate Island.


She hopes to get to know a lot of talented people to join her on her journey to the outside world as her crew members.



Another important reason she chose this place is that it's pretty close to her home, so getting there won't be difficult.

Maris is standing at the control desk of her sleek, modern ship, her heart pounding with excitement and anticipation.


The vessel is a masterpiece of engineering, equipped with the latest navigational technology and powerful engines that could propel her across the seas at incredible speeds.



Ever since her older brother Kai left their village in search of adventure, her passion for explora

Maris is sitting on the soft sand, her bare feet digging into the cool granules.


The sun is setting, casting a warm golden glow over the ocean.



Suddenly her older brother Kai sits down next to her.


She just looks at him but doesn't say anything.


He just keeps sitting there, his eyes fixed o
