Start of the Journey to The Inviting Isles

Leaving Humfail Reef went more smoothly than Vicente had thought it would. Even more so considering his conversation earlier with a high-level member of the island's sovereign force.

But as he looked back and thought about it, he couldn't help but smile in recognition of his lack of experience. 'There's still a lot I need to learn and get used to. In fact, I need to adapt to the position I've earned after all these years. I'm no longer a junior, even at Anicane. It's only natural that some experts turn a blind eye to me.

Vicente thought with a smile, having grown up so fast in the middle of his journey that he had overlooked such a thing. But come to think of it, the specialist who had given him a 'mission' hadn't done it just to use someone willing to travel across the Sea of Stars and do something for the island that few others could. In part, the action of that peak Grand Magus had been to avoid friction and start a more positive relationship for both sides.
