Sailors and Rosacer went toward the island to explore it, while some of the crew headed into the forest to gather wood to repair the ship.
The moment their feet touched land, an uneasy feeling settled over everyone.
The shore was rough and uneven, covered in sharp stones and broken shells. The waves crashed hard against the rocks, louder than they should have been, as if the island itself wanted to remind them they did not belong here.
An ominous aura sends tingles of fear through everyone.
The Captain wasted no time.
"You three, head into the forest," he said. "We need solid timber if this ship is going to sail again."
Then he turned to the rest. "The others come with me. We check the ruins."
Rosacer stayed with the second group, walking slowly behind them. James was also in this group. The chef and the cleaners were given a choice; the chef decided to remain with the ship, while the cleaners went with the first group.
