I smile, the other teenagers were so much fun to have over yesterday. Despite growing up on a small island I was always very close with my cousins and we all met up frequently.

I had nine of them, Freya, Justin, Olaf, Erik, Eric, Skadi, Axel, Reese, and Felix.

Note. Erik and Eric are twins.

So yeah, I was used to company, honestly, I feel like the part of me that almost forgot what it was like has come to crave it.

I sigh, Astrid's kinda nice, and really pretty. I know she's sing- wait, no, fuck…

.

There is a treaty signing today. It's a simple process whereby the chiefs of all the islands in the archipelago swear their unswerving loyalty to my father, King of the Wilderwest, those who do not are beheaded and a new chief is appointed by my father.

Not that anybody's stupid enough to say it outright, of course.

I meet up with all of the other chiefs' kids. There's a girl, sassy, blonde hair, blue eyes, gorgeous, truly. Her name is Camicazi, she's all about adventure. There's a boy there, big, brawny, but still loyal and caring. His name is Thuggory. There's a boy there with long auburn hair and a crooked grin. His name is Skullmuncher II.

I still worry about Furious sometimes, but I mostly try to keep him out of my head. Which is why, as we play 'tag' in the forest, when a vicious looking young Seadragonus Giganticus Maximus approaches, and none of us run, I stare into it's eyes and freeze.

Furious.

Lake Asbrador wasn't too hard to get to. I take a deep breath in, I really don't want to be doing this.

The greasy old man is there. I've been cautioned against him, but still I am worried. I've brought a sword with me just in case he tries anything too…handsy.

He sits on the riverbank, picking his teeth with bones. He is Olderbaath, an ancient wiseman who's been on this planet for over four hundred years, and has not only seen a lot, but heard a lot. My mission is to get a general feel of the gem's whereabouts from him.

Unless he tries something funny, then it's to kill him.
