Climbing further upward, the crew emerges into the morning light. They regard the view before them with wide eyes.
Phaedra: Well, not a bad hike, at least...
At the peak of the island, they see the morning fog spreading to reveal a dark structure in the distance, blocking the lower part of the sunrise. Rocky and irregular, it is a wall of stone standing at the edge of the world
Phaedra: Seawall's a sight for sore eyes today...
Lani peers out at it, shading her eyes from the light. Pavel watches below her.
Lani: Ooh... Maybe we could float over the top now...
Phaedra clasps her arms behind her back, addressing the group.
Phaedra: All right, everyone. This is no ordinary mission, but let's try to treat it like one.
She looks back at them sternly.
Phaedra: We will split into pairs and each explore in a single direction. Remember our tracking training from the academy, and treat every clue you find with extreme caution.
