" Morsta was founded by Emperor James I after he conquered..."
- The history of Morsta
It was only noon when Shawn came to the isles.
The sun stood brightly, welcoming new any visitors to its white sand beaches, and palm trees that barely managed to block it's view.
With Shawn was a small group, three people all seeming unfit, and unready for what they planned to do this evening.
While usually the elder of this group would be leading at this moment the teenager Shawn led the group across the beach, at most times this would silly or even unthinkable today was different.
The foursome marched up across a hill covered in armor, their ensigns glowing in white sunlight and their hands kept on their weapons even when there seemed to be no danger.
On top of the hill was the old crow, a crow so old no one knew if her charcoal skin was natural or if she had been in a sun to long.
Each man bowed in respect and she overlooked them each with a glare, tapping her wrinkled finger on each man examining them.
She coughed a clear fluid and began to speak; " Which one of you is the boy?"
Shawn didn't move but the oldest and largest of the group pushed him forward
" Hello we hav-"
The crow shushed him and glared
" Do not speak, listen "
She put her attention on Shawn and stared at his chest, suddenly Shawn felt heart begin to burn
" Boy, you have came to me and have dared polluted my isles with these, these Gom Yabbers."
Shawn of course wondered what a Gom Yabber is but dared not speak.
" If I did not have so much faith in you, you would be dead right now. Do you understand?"
Shawn nodded his head and shook with fear wondering where she was going with this.
" You three, I'll allow to stay on your boat off my isle I wish to be alone with the boy."
One of the soldiers began to argue but soon after the crow raised her hands he began to walk away while still arguing.
" I am Glory, Glory! I could hear you calling me a crow from the shores, but clearly you aren't here for me if your showing such disrespect, it's my daughter you want."
Shawn looked up and saw the angered face of Glory, although he had never seen her happy either
" Well I have came for Angel, but I didn't mean to anger you." Shawn said
" Do not worry all humans anger me, I'm surprised Angel told you where to find her, if I was her I would of just came over there killed myself." Glory said
"I don't think she's planning to do that, I uh came to find my future." Shawn insisted
"Ha what is with mortals and caring about your 'future' you'll all be dead anyway." Glory said
"My general insisted, if I get-"
Glory cut him off and laughed
" War! That's what this about? You silly humans what are you fighting about this time?" Glory chuckles
" Well the Imperial league is trying to unit-"
Once again he was cut off
" Boring politics I don't care about it, although if my daughter wishes to help you then I hope you learn from your battles." Her voice softened this time and she smiled
Glory waved for Shawn to follow her to a damp cavern, water came from the top of the roof, and small animals crawled on the floor.
They walked across in the darkness following a distant, faint light that glory claimed was brighter then the sun itself.
They walked until the reached the light source a large pool in a middle of a room, it glowed blue and Glory stared at Shawn one last time.
She made her wrinkly black finger grow almost a foot longer and told Shawn to open his mouth, he refused and she began to yell.
"Open!"
His mouth opened and she put the finger down his throat and grew it until it was in his lungs, suddenly his chest blew out and his eyes roll back.
"Breath!" Glory yelled
Then his eyes rolled back and his lung filled with air, Glory pushed him into the pool and he fell until he saw her.
Her being Angel.
Angel resembled a young women in her 20's, her hair was black and her skin was pale, somehow she looked like her mother but with a certain beauty to her.
Her most notable feature was her eyes, they were a light flowing blue with no white to her eyes, just blue orbs stating at you immediately gaining your attention.
" Shawn! You came. . "
Shawn floated up to her in the water and began to bow.
Angel hugged Shawn and laughed.
"Save your bows, how was your trip? You look as happy as when I first met you."
" It went well, and I'm happy to see you. Everyone wanted to see but they were left at the coast." Shawn said
Angel smiled
" Honestly I didn't wish to see them, they only care of war."
So that must be the Glory speaking, Shawn thought.
" Come, follow me I have something to show you." She said
Angel grabbed Shawn's hand and led him across the ocean floor, walking hand in hand sometimes Shawn would start floating but Angel would pull him back.
The two of them made it to a rock, large a grey rock on one side and a side covered in blue rock.
Although Shawn noticed something more familiar, his ship. It was right above them.
" Shawn. isn't the sea beautiful?" Angel muses
It was beautiful, calm and peaceful Shawn thought
" Your friends, they've never seen beyond here. Beauty is alien to them." She mused once more
" Angel..."
Angel grabbed the blue rocks and connected them, turning them into two necklaces.
" Sapphire, the diamonds of the sea wear this." Angel said
" Speaking of diamonds, my friends have seen there beauty." Shawn says while putting it on
" And they have seen me, but they don't understand what they are seeing." Angel said
" I don't understand either at times." Shawn said
" Yes, but I know you can Shawn. "
"How?"
"Shawn I seen your future; and I see your friends."
" And what happens in our future?"
" The future is rarely stagnant, but what I have seen troubles me. I see your death just another causality in a mortal conflict, and your friends don't fare much better."
Shawn takes a moment to think, his mind racing with many thoughts.
" You said it wasn't stagnant, did you see anything else?" Shawn said
" Only little things, but I see a possibility." Angel said
"And what is that?"
" I could make you immortal." Angel said while smiling
" Could you really?" Shawn said
" Yes! You could live down here with me; avoid the war live in paradise..."
" Uh Angel I can't do that."
"Why not?"
"I have friends, family I have a life above the sea."
" Better friends then me?"
"I didn't say that."
"You implied it Shawn"
" Shawn do not risk your life for them."
Shawn was silent
" If you really feel so dearly about your companions then you may go, but do not claim I didn't warn you."
And like that Shawn was forced high in into the sky flying up into the air till he couldn't see Angel anymore.
He fell into his ship cold and covered in water, his crew looking at him in surprise.
They help him up and try to clean him off, amazingly Shawn's necklace stayed on during the flight.
There is silent until his elder, his general speaks up.
" So Shawn, what did she say about us are the odds good?"
Shawn looks up at his general and looks him in the eye.
" She says the Imperial League will cover all of Verano."
The men cheer as if they had already won, happy as can be.
" I knew it! With the look you had on your face I almost thought you got bad news. Come on lad we must tell the Emperor."
The four men began to row back home, three looking in the direction of their home and one looking back at the isle.
Looking back at him was Glory shaking her head before going back into home.
