Ilona Island
It really wasn't a very large island. Compared to Cathymnia, which was still visible off in the distance, it was practically miniscule. Roughly half of the island was covered in lush green forest, covering a large chunk of what was visible of the central mountain, but the other half... Barren and desolate, covered in craters and scorching like pock marks on a scabby face. It was almost as though someone had crudely stitched two small islands together.
Situated upon the ruined half of the island was a large building, which would have been hard to clearly make out from this distance even if it wasn't for the large chimneys belching out plumes of smoke. If one were to take a more intent look at it, it would become clear that the worst of the damage was situated around this building. Sheer cliffs seemed to dominate the coast of this half, and although it was unclear if it was always like this or if it was caused by whatever caused the rest of the damage, what
was clear that it was impossible to make land this way without specialized climbing gear.
On the coast of the green half, meanwhile, was a large expanse of beach, far more suited for docking the ship. Not far from the shore, just at the edge of the forest, was a small cabin, only really large enough for one or two people to live in. Small windmills, motors and other mechanical paraphernalia covered the roof of the cabin, and the chimney seemed far less noxious than that of the larger building further inland.
And standing on the white sands was what looked like a young girl, dark skinned, her green hair tied to the side as she seemingly observed Siobhan and her crew's ship approaching. For a moment, she simply watched, but soon enough she lifted what looked like a small log over her shoulder, a log that seemed to be hollow for some reason...
...And with a loud
BANG she fell back onto her rear, as
something began speeding towards the ship, getting closer and closer as it left a trail of smoke behind it...
...Oh right, that was a rocket. She'd just fired a rocket at the ship. Its course seemed a bit wobbly, really, but
she'd just fired a rocket at the ship!
