Leon's POV
An uninhabited island of perpetual green stretched out before me, as far as the eye could see. Endless azure skies hung above a clear, boundless ocean. This island was undeniably vast. Even from our position on the large boat, occupied by us students of the academy on our way to participate in the King's Game, we could feel the intense heat of the sun beating down upon us. It was evident that its blazing rays were scorching the sandy beach. Understandably so, as summer was nearly upon us. On this particular day, the temperature had to be nearing forty degrees Celsius.
"I wonder if people used to live here... a long time ago," remarked Johanne, who stood beside me.
"Perhaps," I replied, lacking any certainty. It could have been an uninhabited island for many millennia. Or perhaps it had inhabitants once, who had long since departed. There was no way to know for certain.
