It was 11:00 at night and, you were gliding. You knew it was getting late and you needed someplace to land and stay the night or to at least find out where you are. You've been traveling all morning and weren't familiar with part of the land.

Great! Now it's so dark I can't see anything! you thought angrily as the moon passed behind a cloud making it pitch black.

You weren't sure exactly where you were, but you knew you were above water because you could hear the waves gently crashing below, and you knew better than to land in the water. A few more minutes passed and you almost give up on finding land. Suddenly, you saw something glimmer in the distance.

What in the world could that be? you wondered as you approached the dim light. Though it was pitch black, you noticed that there was a strange shadow that was floating in the air underneath the glowing light.

It looks like... my home... you thought, staring at what you now presumed to be a floating island.

I must investigate.

You eventually landed on what actually was a giant floating island. It was wild and seemingly uninhabited. You followed that glowing light until you arrived at an alter. You slowly walked up the steps, unable to turn away from the light. As you approached, you notice that it was a massive emerald!

"The Master Emerald" you whispered is awe.

It was so beautiful, you couldn't help but be drawn closer. Suddenly you stopped. You could hear someone snoring quietly nearby but you couldn't see where it was coming from.

Right, you thought, every Master Gem needs a registered guardian to exist, but where are the others from this island?

Your curiosity of the tribe from this island soon subsided and you continued slowly approaching the Master Emerald. Suddenly, you felt something alive under your foot as you climbed the next stair.

"OWWW! WHAT THE...?" yelled the guy you stepped on.

Well at least you knew where the snoring was coming from.
