In the middle of the ocean, southwest of Red Desert.
In the middle of a tranquil ocean, it is possible to see dozens of ships of trade and war!
Sailors singing and jumping as they do their jobs in sync, soldiers nauseated by the sea swing, slaves frightened by the future that awaits them and managers, as always, concerned with the quality of all the goods.
Among so many lives and stories, a girl leaning on the parapet in the quarterdeck of a large ship, she watches the waves, boats and seagulls while raveling her curly hair and holding a book with blank pages.
Behind her, there are some maidservants all dressed in a light pink Moroccan kaftan, waiting quietly. The girl is a kingdom-destroying beauty! All sailors cast discreet glances, but quickly retract when they remember the girl's position!
She has lovely green eyes that attract you softly but without realizing, you are already tamed! Her skin is tan, soft and smooth. Black hair cascades down to the shoulders. She wears purple semi-transparent silk cloths covering half the face, her long bellydancer clothing is also made of the same colored fabric, but for the sorrow of the sailors this is opaque and just leaves her body in the mystery! Yet it is possible to see that it has dangerous curves underneath the clothes!
With gentle and meticulous movements the girl pulls a Roc feather and begins to write in the blank book.

Journal of Ameerah Al-Khatib, trip to the Islands Belt!
13 of Verum, year 5887 H.S.
It's been a month since I've been at sea! We are going in a southwesterly direction, the winds are from east to west, but the sailors are skilled and our trip is on schedule, even faster than planned! Our first stop will arrive soon, a month at least, if the winds continue to help!
Even though everything is going well, my heart has some uncertainties about this trip. I hope daddy is well! I'm trying hard to remember what he might have sent me to this trip! Okay, okay, I've been dealing with goods since I was little and I always wanted to get out of that desert monotony, but this was very unexpected! Just now that I've managed to calm my spirits I'm starting to connect the dots!
I was excited, because I always heard of the Island Belt, a sailor told me that the number is so great, that it is impossible to count the amount. As a merchant, I deal with many numbers, I can not wait to see if there really is such a large amount of islands even I would get lost!
But what matters is what Dad told me when I was boarding!
He said "Be careful in the Belt" I know he sent me for this trip to make money on the Belts, but I still think there's something going on behind. At the time I thought it was some concern from father to daughter, but he has dozens of daughters and we all grew up in the Red Desert! I do not know how many islands there are in the Belt, but it is a fact that the Belt is an easy place to deal with, they are weak, the only thing that exists there is a great diversity of everything, nature, food and cultures. I've heard that there are even some realms of/for Mortals! Why would he tell me to be careful? Once we get to the belt, I'm going to have to send a ship back to re-activate some of my spies! But for now I do not have much to worry about! As my Majdi says, 'let the wind blow!'
