The sky above the island was covered by dark clouds; the weather was changing.

On the cliff of a high mountain.

On the gray sundial, there were three translucent entrances that could disappear anytime.

*PA*

Suddenly, a hand grabbed the edge of one of the entrances.

Two people jumped out of the tunnel together.

The one standing in the front was a young man with brown hair. That hair was wet from sweat and stuck to his forehead. The young man had a pair of sharp blue eye and a gray robe that looked a bit too large for his size.

A lady wearing a white robe followed after the young man. Her long black hair trailed down to her shoulders, and there were several scars on her pretty face.

Angele and Isabel finally left the tunnel after running like crazy for several minutes.

"Don’t stop! Our boat should be safe, I left several people there guarding it. We need to leave the island!" Isabell yelled. She looked anxious as she rushed to the stairs that led to the foot of the mountain.

Angele nodded but did not say anything. He took one final glance at the tunnel and followed after Isabel.

The three entrances slowly disappeared from the sundial and everything returned to normal.

The gnomon of the sundial turned white after several seconds.

*CHI*

A ray of white light shot from the tip of the gnomon and streaked into the sky.

The white string connected the cliff and the sky.

Angele noticed what happened to the sundial and hastened his steps.

The two kept running down the hill. They turned several times on the way to take short-cuts.

Ten minutes later they returned to the beach that the boat was secured in.

"Impossible! Where’s the boat?"

Isabel stared at the empty shore, looking surprised.

It was as if the boat had taken the team and completely disappeared, leaving no trace on the surface of the sea.

Blue waves were hitting the yellow beach from time to time, but besides them, the place was deadly silent.

The water from the sea was circling between the gaps of the reefs.

"Where’s the boat?!"

Isabel started panicking, she ran into the sea and circled around the area where the boat was anchored, but found nothing.

"Damn."

Angele’s expression turned serious.

They guessed that the missing boat was part of the series of mysterious happenings in the ruin. If the blue wizard illusions destroyed the boat, it would be a huge problem.

Angele stopped by the edge of the beach and started checking the surroundings.

"Is there a way that you can get in contact with the people on the ship?" he asked, turning his head toward her.

Isabel took a deep breath and calmed down. She looked different, her face was no longer emotionless. She quickly took out a small golden ball from the pouch after Angele’s words.

*Clank*

Several black needles rose from the surface of the ball.

Isabel picked one of the needles and twisted it.
