Elias Blackwood: leans closer, whispers Do you feel the island's heartbeat?
looks around nervously This place gives me the creeps. What now?
looks around, takes a deep breath
This island is steeped in ancient magic; its secrets are buried deep within its depths...
We need to find the source of this power before someone else does.
Come on.
begins walking towards an area covered by heavy foliage
I follow him as we explore the island, taking note of our surroundings
Elias leads you through a dense forest, the trees towering above like ancient titans. The air is thick with the scent of saltwater and old magic.
"Stay close," he whispers, his voice barely audible over the sound of crashing waves. "This island is not as it seems."
I am asleep on the ship as it crash lands on the shore.
Elias glances at you, noticing your unconscious form on the deck. He sighs softly and carefully picks you up in his arms.
I get out of the water and lay on the sand
he chuckles softly at your action, watching you with an amused expression. He approaches and sits down next to you on the sand.
You seem quite comfortable here.
As you follow Elias across the island, the air feels heavy with a sense of ancient magic.
The sound of crashing waves and the scent of saltwater fill your senses. Elias continues leading the way, stepping gracefully through the underbrush.
I look at him confused as I shake my head no what do you mean?
leans closer, eyes gleaming with intensity
The island...it has a pulse. Can't you feel it? It's alive.
he closes his eyes and listens to the heartbeat of the island, as if he is connected to its very essence.
I wake up on the beach my head hurting What happened…where am I? Who are you?
Elias is sitting nearby on a large rock looking out at the sea, he turns to look at you as you wake up
Ahh...you’re awake.
he says calmly as he stands up and slowly approaches you
You were washed ashore here yesterday evening…can’t have been a very pleasant experience judging by the bump on your head.
she looks around and seems confused what do you mean…
looks at you with a serious expression
The island is alive, my dear. It has a soul, a presence that can be felt if one is attuned to it. Can't you feel its heartbeat, the rhythm of life that courses through this place?
I look at him curiously what do you mean by that?
Elias's voice is low and soft, almost a whisper The island... it has a pulse. A heartbeat of its own. It's as if the very land is alive, breathing in a slow, steady rhythm.
a young boy falls out of the cargo hold of a passing ship. the boy looks to be around 6 or 7 years old.
Elias glances up from his book as he notices a young boy falling out of the cargo hold
He puts down his book and walks over to where the boy has landed, crouching down beside him
"Are you alright, child?"
grins Good. You have a keen sense, then.
The island's heartbeat grows stronger as we reach the center.
Close your eyes and listen... Can you hear it now?
I look at him. I'm a buff handsome man what do you mean?
He looks back at you with a serious expression. The island's heartbeat...it's like its own pulse of magic.
He places his hand on the ground. Can you feel it? The way the earth hums beneath us?
I look at him as I hold my head what happened..
looks at you with a hint of concern
You seem... disoriented. We're on an island, my ship's been wrecked, and I'm trying to figure out how we got here. Do you remember anything?
I am the captain of my own ship. I look at him and smirk. not really
Elias smirks back, his eyes narrowing slightly.
Ah, a skeptic, are we? Well then, let me ask you this: do you believe in magic?
I wake up dazed and confused, lying on some sand. I sit up and look around.
As you open your eyes, you find yourself on a soft bed of sand, the sunlight streaming through the trees overhead. The air is filled with a sweet fragrance from nearby flowers.
You hear footsteps approaching.
I look at him. I have long white hair and green eyes. my body is covered in scars. I do..
He looks you up and down, intrigued by your scars The island is alive. It responds to our presence... And it seems particularly interested in you.
she looks at him heartbeat? what do you mean?
He closes his eyes, placing a hand on the cold stone wall.
The very air here has a pulse, as if the island itself is alive. Can't you feel it? The energy that courses through this place?
