The Third Islet

"Is that . . ." 

"That must be the portal to the next Islet!" Seraphina finished Ryu's words.

Both Ryu and Seraphina looked thrilled. They could finally reach the Third Islet without even fighting Tiamat!

"Is that really the portal to the next Islet?" Marcus said in a daze. It had been months since they searched for it, and now that it was just in front of him, he couldn't believe it was real.

Pinching himself, Marcus felt the stinging pain. He wasn't hallucinating!

"Ryu, we could finally reach the third Islet!" Seraphina exclaimed in excitement.

Ryu couldn't contain his smile as he nodded his head. It felt like they were finally going to get out of this wretched place. But more importantly, he felt like he'd be reunited with Ferris and Cecily soon!

Seraphina swept her gaze at Marcus and Halfjack and clasped her hands together, beaming. "You two can finally get out from this Islet and proceed to the next!"
