Isle of Lost
Down the path to the Royal Beach; a path juts off from the main one to a small stone gazebo. The gazebo is simple; however the floor is a work of art. Mostly blue mosaic pieces; however in the middle a lotus flower was depicted out of mother of pearl. When one steps upon the flower they are transported to another stone gazebo further south. The sister gazebo sits upon a highest peak on the north end of a crescent shaped island. From this spot you can see the entire island and for miles beyond it. Down a set of stairs a single smooth dirt path exits the gazebo and splints itself in two directions. One direction goes down a steep path lined with stairs right down the north point of the island to a large dock in which a large ship sits. This ship carries goods and such to the people in which Aria trades with. The second path from the gazebo winds its way through a tropical jungle. All flower lanterns are strung along the path; allowing one to see while traveling at night. This path leads to the castle on the other side of the island. To walk it takes about four hours; and it is downhill as the path winds to the lower half of the southern part of the island where the palace is. The walk itself is magical. Parts of the forest open up allowing breath taking views of the island and the ocean hundreds of feet below. A couple of wooden bridges go over fresh water streams that cascade down tall thin waterfalls. Frequent rain showers often replenish these pools; often one is sheltered from these surprise showers by the thick foliage that covers most of the path.
The islands east side are tall cliffs with sheer drops straight down into the ocean. Usually large waves hit this side of the island; however during low tide during the summer season a narrow white sandy beach appears and is available to walk along. Often interesting treasures and debri wash up on this side of the island. During the winter months the beach is once more submerged under large waves. The western part of the island has a more sloping landscape; closer to sea level the greenery thins out to a rocky moss covered terrain. Sporadic white sandy beaches are accessible throughout each season on this side of the island; during the summer months, when the tide is much lower, stone archways connect the beaches. The longest stretch of beach is located on the southern tip of the island where the castle stands.
Extra
- The east side of the island is almost a vertical drop; steep cliffs plunge down into the ocean. These cliffs have a natural caves in the tall walls, in which drakes can use as nesting ground and or places to sleep. - The west side has more sloping land; that could in the future be developed to form a small fishing village; as of right now the land is virtually un touched.
- The only building on the west side is a large wooden dock that goes past the natural reef and into deeper waters. At the dock Arias own ship sits, the large vessel is made of dark wood with a gorge hound head carved into a helm. * Those arriving by sea vessel will arrive here; the sail itself would take 2 days.
Those arriving to via the gazebo will arrive instantly but have the hour walk unless Aria picks them up and flies to the other side which takes around five minutes.
