Chapter 8 - Capital of Piracy! Blackwater Isle!

As Kaze and company walk through the doors of the adventures guild they see a bunch of rough necked individuals and notice a small timid looking girl behind a counter, so they head towards her and are suddenly stopped by a colossal man "What do you want?" The man asks. Satomi quick into action kicks the man and sends him flying. Kaze then proceeds to head towards the woman behind the desk as we here mumbles and murmurs throughout the guild hall. "The little girl just took out Brutus the Giant in one kick, amazing." A mumble is heard. "Who are there?" More rumors and murmurs continue. As Kaze begins ask the woman behind the desk for some information. "Kek you say? That name seems familiar I read about that in the history books, one day an adventurer found an ancient tomb on an island known as Blackwater Isle and within this tome contained the Tome of Unlife, this ancient text allowed the user to cast a spell upon himself to turn him Immortal, so what ended up happening was this outlawed band of mages and warlocks formed together and the 5 of them joined hands with the demon god Abaddon in which they worshipped." The girl who seems to be a living encyclopedia is then stopped by Kaze. "Just tell me how to get there." Kaze looks at her with a strange look as if he has taken in too much information but slaps himself and snaps out of it. "Mizu, we have to get to Blackwater Isle quick." Mizu nods and tells the lady thank you. "Wait…That…Is a dangerous island now. Though you should ask around the dock area if a boat can take you there." the lady tries calling out to no avail. We peer over to the quest board and notice a wanted poster for "Slo the Banshee."

The group makes their way to the harbor of the city to find a ship that will take them to Blackwater Island. Various ship captains and shipwrights say and shake their head no as you can hear one. "Are you asking for a deadly voyage? They say it's a dangerous place!" This man smelled of whisky and and booze, "I'll take yar to that curs'd I-land" he said with a slur while taking a puff of his pipe. He was the captain of this lone run down but well-kept ship. The captain gets prepared to set sail and we see them setting off towards the moon as we see them head further into the wise sea as we see them sailing off, and we come back to see the shape of an island coming into view within the distance. The sun beginning to rise as they get closer to the island. "Kaze do you feel that?" Mizu asks with discomfort. "Yeah, something is not right about this place. Hey Cap't you can anchor here" Kaze then casts a white magic spell from his hand that envelopes everyone with white light and they are able to fly, they then head towards the coast of the island. Kaze and company arrive on the island and walk through the jungle to find a blossoming village, with people being overly joyous. "Welcome here lad!" the one man says.

The man pulls Kaze into the pub, Mizu gets pulled into a a body building competition, Sato and Satomi get pulled into a clothes shop, Kaze for but a second notices a sinister aura that these people give off, as if they are smiling with false smiles. "What is going on?" Kaze asks and doesn't get no response from the people, he just hears more and more laughter. A giant boom is heard as a body builder is sent flying through the wall, "Kaze this place doesn't feel right." The body builder begins to laugh. the laughs of the townsfolk seem to have turned into an eerie nightmarish chuckle. Kaze and Mizu run and smash through the window of the clothes shop. Sato and Satomi seem to be fending off the crazed shop workers. Mizu and Kaze grab them quickly and begin running back into the jungle deeper into the island, "The hell was that!" Kaze says panting. "This island, its not natural, somebody is causing a island wide disturbance!" We can see in the distance a group of individuals watching as the silhouette of a woman is seen waving her hands around controlling the forest and life on the island. "Hehehehehe, more idiots for us to deal with." The man in the background states.

Kaze and Mizu notice the group from afar as we can see the woman begin to send a large fall of a mysterious dust throughout the island that is almost like a fog. Kaze and the group begin to fall ill, suddenly they all collapse as Mizu is seen on his knee. "My wolf blood resists most of this, get up!" Mizu says to himself as he gets up to his feet.
