Aqua Palace and The Sea Folks

Michael uttered no word while they were on their way to Aqua island. They only had to stop once before reaching the island to pay the entry fee. For a moment, Michael was speechless when a guard adorning in aqua blue robes asked them to pay 10,000 gold coins as an entry fee. One could buy a healing potion for nine thousand gold coins in Elon. Calculating how many gold coins the Aqua Palace would earn in a month alone made Michael jealous of the Aqua Palace. In reality, the Aqua Palace had a monthly income of fifty million in gold coins. In addition, they received rare artifacts, herbs, and ores as another source of income. Eventually, after twenty minutes of rowing the boat, they reached the island. 

"Do I have to wait here?" the man asked Gaya, but she shook her head.

"No need," Gaya stepped onto the dock and helped Eve. The Aqua Palace looked more majestic closer than when Michael looked at it from the pier.
