The sun warmed the deck of the *Sunstone* as they sailed south. Hobby felt a happy hum in his chest. They had a good supply of fresh fruit, and cool water from the mountains, packed carefully below deck. It felt good to be on an adventure, like Bilbo Baggins leaving the Shire. He remembered the tales of faraway lands, and brave heroes. But he also remembered Old Man Tiber’s warning. The cave. The crater. Something dangerous lived near the island. He tried not to think about it.
...
They bid farewell to the fishermen, promising to remember their kindness. The *Sunstone* turned towards the island, sailing into the unknown. The sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows across the water. The journey had only just begun.
