Will of chaos

I look at the giant island in front of me, it has mountain and at least a city as far as I can see, I look around and I can't see the size of the island, I just know that this must be the island that High Priestess Yara talked about why is it moving slowly.

Then I realize that the miasma is being drawn towards the island, so it was getting weaker as we got closer.

I look back and realize that there's still a storm going the way we came, but for some reason, this place where the island is has clear skies and tropical weather.

"This is weird." (I)

Everything about this island is weird, clearly, there are a lot of things wrong with this place, but it doesn't feel dangerous, in fact, my curiosity level has peaked.

"How are we going to end up on this island? I don't see any harbors." (I)

"Just head towards the city that way, we'll be taken to the harbor." (Yara)

"How are we going to be taken?" (I)

"You will see." (Yara)

Everyone on the Ship was looking at the beautiful island in motion in awe as Marcos approached the ship in the direction High Priestess Yara pointed.

As we walked I noticed an Aura for a second before disappearing as if it were part of the environment, but it didn't seem to be an enemy.

As we approached from the direction High Priestess Yara spoke, we had a better view of the city, from afar all I could see were buildings of all colors, but somehow they complement each other.

I thought about expanding my Aura to take a look at the city and this island, but Sophia who showed up along with the rest of my group said it would be misunderstood with an insult, so I didn't.

As we get closer we see someone walking towards us, stepping on the surface of the water calmly towards us.

He had a humanoid body with a tortoiseshell shell on his back, and was dressed in a very eccentric floral-patterned suit and pants.

He was dark green skinned, bald, with a slightly larger head making his body a bit disproportionate, he had two large eyes and an equally large mouth, he had no ears or nose as far as I could see.

He appeared to have a slim build with the tortoiseshell on his back being very large, he appeared to be approximately 1.75 meters tall.

He doesn't seem hostile so I wait for him to reach us, when he gets to our ship he jumps to land at the front of the ship where I'm with everyone.

"Welcome to Training Island Cyrion, I'm Alvin and I'll be your guide today." (Alvin)

I stepped forward with High Priestess Yara on one side and Vanessa on the other.

"Nice to meet you, my name is Zenos, those next to me are High Priestess of the Temple of Life Yaramaki and Priestess of the Temple of Blood Vanessa." (I)

"Good to see you again High Priestess Yara, didn't expect to see another of you here at the same time." (Alvin)

"I was around when I felt you guys around, in a place like the ocean in the middle of a storm, it wasn't hard to imagine it was this island." (Yara)

"Nice to meet Miss Vanessa, I believe the people of your Temple will welcome you with open arms." (Alvin)

"You know me?" (Vanessa)

"I have some Vampire friends belonging to the Temple of Blood who won't stop talking about their Saint." (Alvin)

"I'm not a saint." (Vanessa)

"You're not a Saint yet." (Yara)

"I imagine Mr Zenos is in charge in charge, correct?" (Alvin)

"Yes." (me)

"My Father is the one in charge." (Vanessa)

"Then excuse my discourtesy." (Alvin)

"Don't worry." (I)

"If I may, may I guide you all to the harbor?" (Alvin)

"Clear." (I)

As Alvin, the Turtle Man introduced himself to everyone I noticed him looking around and his eyes lingering longer on a few people which were Vanessa, Diana, Kira, Karina, Freya, and me.

It seems his perception is better than he lets on, but I don't feel any hostility coming from him, but that's normal since I can't even feel his Aura.

"Hold on tight." (Alvin)

A mist started to come out from inside Alvin's tortoiseshell as it surrounds the ship, the mist didn't spread in the normal way, instead, it concentrated in white clouds which made the ship start to float.

I run to the end of the ship and look down, the clouds have settled under the ship before lifting this whole ship which should have been very heavy, then the ship started to float towards the city.

"I'm sorry if I scared you, that's one of my skills, I'm using these clouds as a means of transporting your ship to port." (Alvin)

"What kind of port is this where we need to get there by flying?" (I)

"You'll see soon, I'll save the explanations for later so you'll be able to enjoy the view of the island from above." (Alvin)

I keep looking around, but I'm not using my Aura or any abilities, I'm taking advantage of going into tourist mode.

I'm looking around like anyone else just to enjoy the trip.

As the clouds make the ship float higher, I can better see the island and the city, the city was bigger than the capital of the Black Empire, this city was so big that I wasn't able to see all of it from above.

The buildings weren't the only colorful thing I saw when I was getting closer to the city, the trees and flowers all over the city were of various types, it all turned into an absurd amount of color to see at the same time, but still, it was beautiful, it was as if this excess of colors were complementing each other to create a magnificent landscape.

As we got closer to the city that was not far from the coast of the island, I noticed something on the side of the city, it was a lake with a harbor where some ships were anchored.

"Father, look." (Vanessa)

Vanessa points in the direction of several buildings, they were the biggest buildings in this city, and they were also the strangest due to the wide variety of colors that each one had.

"What's wrong?" (I)

"They are all Temples or Churches of several different Religions." (Vanessa)

"..." (I)

I look again, but this time cautiously, my impressions of Religions have dropped a lot due to some things I've been through during that time.

I thought about using my Aura at that moment just to make sure there was no one from the Church of Light here, but I gave up at the last moment, one of the reasons was that they could have learned from their mistakes and be more capable from now on.

We were taken to the lake where our ship stopped at one of the docks before the clouds disappeared.

"Very well, now that we've arrived we could start teaching you all about this place." (Alvin)

"This island is a training ground, more than 70% of Cyrion Island's population are young people in training." (Alvin)

"I must also inform you that many religions are present on this island, for millennia this island has been an important place to train people of all religions." (Alvin)

"What if battles of large numbers of people started on this island and those people were members of two religions?" (I)

"Then the two religious communities will be expelled, plus there are some rules." (Alvin)

Alvin arranges a notebook he took from somewhere and leaves it in my hands, at least for a few seconds before someone snatches the notebook from my hand, it was Freya who started reading without wasting time.

"This notebook contains information about the city, about which religions are present with basic information about each one." (Alvin)

"You can take a look later or you can come to me for any questions, the way to charm me is on the front page." (Alvin)

As we start to get off the ship the turtle man guides us to a building where we register for being here.

"This island has 9 different dungeons where you can train almost all kinds of things." (Alvin)

"We don't have our own arena in the city, but we do have a coliseum inside a dungeon." (Alvin)

"Another thing to be warned, any conflict will be resolved using duels and duels only." (Alvin)

"Even the various Religions resolve any conflicts they may have through friendly competition." (Alvin)

"Can we buy a house here?" (I)

"I'll ask my superior, I'll answer you tomorrow." (Alvin)

After registering our arrival on this island we were briefly guided by Alvin, the turtle man.

Alvin showed us where we could eat, where the shops are, and where we could spend the night at least for today.

"You don't have to worry about anything about accommodation, leave everything in my hands." (Yara)

As we walked through the streets I saw many races of people walking around, everything was so colorful in this city, things here are amazing.

A tropical island that is full of people of various religions and races, this place is very interesting, maybe stay a few days or a few weeks for fun.
