With Luca's help, the boys arrived at the Purple Flower Mountain faster than expected. However, even so, the sun had almost settled down by the time they touched shore. The purple flower petals that were growing all over the island in abundance could be seen clearly from the boat. The boys looked at the petals that were floating on the seawater as they slowly got closer to the beach.
"Careful…" Juin warned when Cyrus tried to touch one of the floating petals.
They had heard of how these flowers were poisonous to everyone except the natives and those who lived in the sea around the island, such as the Acronians. And during their time with Crown Prince Warrick, they also learned of the huge fire that was set upon this island a long time ago. The burnt remains of houses and pagodas that were near the beach could still be seen from the shoreline even though countless years had passed.
