Chapter 13 - 4 Seasons, 4 Islands

Mari stood at the table and looked at the ocean floor, first, she would learn what could be changed about the islands. Randomly selecting an Island Mari reached out and pressed the small pen and paper icon.

Name: Island #4

Type: Forest

Size: 1 acre

Creatures: 5 Deer, 2 Bears, Assorted Birds, Assorted Critters,

Theme(Locked): 10c

The screen was interesting, and she was interested in Theme and quickly bought it hoping it would be what she thought it would be.

Theme!

A Theme is similar to Lore, in that it affects the development of the area although on a lesser scale.

+Create Theme

Mari smiled and lifted onto her toes in excitement, this was exactly what she hoping for. She clicked on Create Theme and was prompted to type in her theme.

"Let's start with summer," Mari hummed in thought and filled the screen out, "The Summer Island is eternally basking in the embrace of the sun, here worries seem to melt away in the heat leaving behind laughter and smiles." Another read-through and Mari was satisfied.

Returning to the Islands screen she changed the name to 'Summer Island' then went to the Creatures tab and began to edit it.

When she was happy with her changes Mari finalized her changes and read the new screen for the island.

Moving on Mari moved to the other side of the table and selected a new Island to work on.

Winter, Mari decided as she looked over the island. After unlocking the Theme she got to work on making the changes.

Name: Winter Island

Size: 2 acre

Creatures: 4 Bears, 6 Snowy Owls, 12 Arctic Fox, 12 Arctic Wolves, 2 Snow Leopards, 6 Snowshoe Hare, 12 Arctic Hare, 4 Moose, 20 Reindeer, Assorted Critters,

Theme: The Winter Island is locked in a never-ending freeze, the branches are coated with a thick cover of snow. The weight of Winter quiets even the loudest of visitors.

It was roughly 2 hours later That Mari felt happy with the 4 four-core islands and decided to make the Peak and then be done for the night. In the morning she would make the Lore and then depending on the actions of the Warriors continue with the rest of the Islands and the Warrior's quest for floor 2.

Name: Spring Island

Creatures: 4 Spotted Woodpeckers, 4 Red Squirrels, 4 Wild Boar, 6 Red Foxes, 6 Dormouse, 12 Grey Wolves, 2 Badgers, 4 Barn Owls, 2 Grizzly Bears, Assorted Critters,

Theme: The Fall Island is stuck in the middle of a change, the leaves are changing colors but stubbornly do not fall, and the animals repair for a winter that will not come. The sense of anticipation is everywhere and yet nothing changes.

Another 30 minutes later Mari was staring tiredly at the unfished screen for the Peak, she was struggling to string her thoughts together in a cohesive manner and didn't want to finalize the changes until she was happy with it.

Name: The Peak

Type: Rocky Outcropping

Size: 0.5 acre

Creatures:

Theme: The Peak is the closest place to the stars,

"Okay, I'm done. I need sleep, this can wait for the morning, after a good night's sleep." Mari saved the changes as a draft and shuffled over to the bed. She gently picked up Nuit from where she had been curled up on the pillow and got comfy under the blankets.

She was asleep in seconds, for the time being, stress-free and at peace. In the morning things would change, for the first time Warriors would enter her forge and she would truly begin her role as 'Guardian'.

A loud beeping woke Mari up, for a moment she lay there unmoving before she groaned and sat up. The alarm came from the TV screen, once she was paying attention to the TV the blaring alarm turned off but by then Mari was already on her feet and watching the screen.

The Warriors were packing up their camp and seemed to be preparing to enter, "Okay, calm, breathe, it's okay," Mari told herself as she paced back and forth, her eyes never leaving the screen.

"I should get ready, how do I get ready?" a pause and Mari marched over to the table.

"I have enough time to finish the Peak and make the summer island the spawning point for floor 2 before they enter. It would be nice to make the Lore but I don't have enough credits, I just have to stay calm," Mari focused on her breathing and got to work.

Name: The Peak

Type: Rocky Outcropping

Size: 0.5 acre

Creatures:

Theme: The Peak is the closest place to the stars, it's constantly surrounded by whirlpools and the only time it is accessible is if you have gathered all the Heart Pieces.

Mari sighed, it would have to do. If she was lucky there would be a chance to make it better later. A glance at the TV sent a shiver down her spine and she quickly clicked on the Summer Island and designated it as the spawning point, originally she wanted it to be another island but for now, it would work.

"Floor 1, floor 1, I should switch back over. But, what if my first floor isn't strong enough and they get through really fast? Floor two is really blah right now." Mari panicked and babbled at Nuit.

Her stress was clearly getting the better of her, but there was no more time to panic as a cheerful ding alerted her that a quest had been finished.

5 warriors had just entered her Realmforge.
