I took a brief look at the other four. They had gathered together and were looking at me. Heavily swallowing my saliva, I decided to bolt. I turned towards the next island; and bent my legs to give me a boost. Soon I was in the air, it sure did feel like I was flying. My legs moved rapidly, and I landed on the small island a few meters away from the primary one.
I repeated the action five more times and landed on a much bigger island. It is best to avoid trouble, and those four had 'trouble' written all over them.
"It would be too troublesome," I muttered under my breath.
'But now I think about it, a few minutes ago they were minding their own business. What made them team up in that short time I was not paying attention.'
Shaking my head, I looked at the vast yet plain land I stood on. There were no trees to be seen, just broken white stones and grass. Probably belonged to buildings, and a... tombstone?
It was quite a walking distance from where I stood. "To check or not to check, that is the question,"
I rubbed my chin as I looked at the stone. After I while, I gave in to my curiosity. I walked towards the stone and kept looking around, I would like to be ambushed right now, or ever.
'It's bigger than I thought,' I squat to get a better look at the tombstone. Just like the altar that held the sun remnant, the tombstone was also on a smaller version of it.
'I've never seen this way of writing before,' I thought as I reached out for the stone, soon a glow encased me. The light was bright enough to make me blind.
Opening my eyes, the writing on the stone was now readable. "The Vinecya Island." Blankly looking at it I could not help but ask, who the hell would name a thing like that? Heck, could they even read it?
'Ha, from the looks of it, seems no one looked at the tombstone. The grass had no dents, and only the dents here are the ones I recently made.' I could not help but rub my face and sigh, or I think I did. My new body's geology is quite confusing.
Under the ridiculous name of the island, there were a few sentences, this island is where your journey begins.
Millennia ago, this vast grassland used to hold trees that seemed to touch the sky, and waters so clear you would think the clouds were on the floor. But after that day...
"After that day, what happened!? Ugh, why put the words there if you're not going to continue?!" I could not help but shout at the intimate tombstone.
I could not help but rub my forehead again, 'It's best to keep walking I suppose,'
With that, I got up and followed in the direction of the flame symbol. On my way, I would occasionally run into large rocks sprawled on the floor.
'I wonder why I haven't run into the angels; I don't think there was that much of a distance- ahh'
-Thump-
I lay there waiting for the pain to come, but no afore-mentioned pain came. Sitting up I looked at my body- no wounds or dirt. In the first place, what caused me to trip? Looking at the ground next to my foot was a glowing moon the size of a coin.
Picking myself up, I took the coin-sized moon; and as soon as I held it the coin disappeared. "At this point, I'm not shocked anymore,"
I continued walking, as I knew thinking about where the coin went would just waste my time.

"Let's go,"
"Yes!!"
The four angles moved forward after the angel with the gold-colored mask jumped away. They reached the edge of the island, and each took turns jumping from each platform 'till they reached the next island.
The angels stuck together as they looked around the grass field. "Is there anything weird around?" The red-masked angel questioned. The other three shook their heads. Moving forward, they kept their guards up, as they looked around.
They had formed a formation, red at the back, green on the right, purple on the left and blue in the middle. Soon, they reached the area where the tombstone was. The red-masked angel did not spare a look at the tombstone and kept walking. Though they were curious, the three continued walking. They could simply stop walking, and the red-masked angel would also stop, but they rather not test their faith today.
"Ethel, should we not check out that tombstone?" The green-masked angel could not help but ask. "Weslynn," The red-masked angel- Ethel calmly called out. Weslynn, the green-masked angel shivered then quickened his pace.
