Snippet #1569341

Aboard a large yacht 2 treasure hunters were preparing to go to an island that few knew about. Tiberius and Alexander were supposed to be taking kayak to the island due to the stories that larger ones get destroyed on the rocks around the shore. "Alex I'm going now. The yacht isn't getting closer so you'll have to launch from here unless you want to head back to the mainland and find another way, just remember this is the only way I'm paying for." With that he climbed in his kayak and began heading for shore.

As he got closer the waves started to get more violent but he pressed on, in his tiny kayak he could easily avoid big rocks he was sure of it. As he closed in on the reef he saw something he didn't recognize then it hit him like a brick wall "Mer, I thought they were extincted!" He was so surprised at the sight that he almost turned around. "If they are still guarding this island then there must be something valuable there. I must have it I'll be the most famous treasure hunter ever." He then started to develop plans to grab some treasure and even a Mer if he got the chance.

When he arrived on The Sinking Island to find it looking abandoned. It wasn't what he had expected but then again it wasn't his average treasure hunt. He looked down at the map he had of the island and noticed that he was still quite a ways from the ruins but it would only be a days travel. "I have a days travel ahead of me." he said aloud to himself. "I'm going to need to make a net if I plan on taking one of those beasts back with me. And where is Alex, he should have been right behind me?" He looked out to where the yacht was and saw it was headed back to shore like it was supposed to. "I don't see Alex so I'm just going to have to assume he stayed on and is headed back to shore. I'll have to leave a message just in case he's headed my way."

The letter read-
Alex I left this message so that you can find me. I headed for the ruins, they're about a days travel from here but it should be an easy trek according to the map. I'll leave signs of my trail so you can follow me. And remember kid be careful you're new at this.
