Aquaveil Crash!

by Talia Everlore

Alas- Another skyship crashed. And!!! That time it wasn't because someone was attempting to steal it. Nope,it was because of a little funny bug. Rascal ate some pipes and our main power crystal,from what I was told. I was kind of busy trying to get to know the locals.
 
OH!!! The place we crashed! So beautiful! Such an oasis of calmness and tranquility! It's called Aquaveil, part of the Hydrakon Dominion's lands. Very well preserved, as expected by Hydrakians! They love their waters crystal clear and all their lovely inhabitants safe and healthy. Our bug friend was taken in and led to a scrapyard where it can feast for a long while! Such lovely people they are here!
 
I noticed poor Lee is extremely stressed, especially when interacting with figures of any authority. I hope the couple of days we spend here will do some good to his mind and help him relax a bit! Why do we have to wait here you ask? Because the only mechanic this little haven has to offer is off to a fishing trip. Or more like an Aether crystal vein expedition trip- Which is a wonderful find! And I guess Shurr will be very interested in that!
 
The locals here are all so so lovely and welcoming and hospitable! Such a great feeling. It reminds me of home! Maybe I should visit next time we have some days off. I miss dad's cooking!
 
We met Mary! She is the wife of the mechanic we are waiting for,his name is Logg by the way! Their house is so nice and build on the water and just- I wonder if we would've had that too...Maybe some day...I can still hope.
We also got to meet Jack O'Neal-He is the dockmaster and seemed to match Lee's energy quite well! Proper and excited boys! It was cute.
OH! Also when we first stepped on the island we met with Elder Caela. Such a strong lady. The way she could command the waters was truly magnificent to witness-! I wonder if Xiu Mei can do the same.
Also we met Elder Kaelen! He was very sweet! Even gave me a big hug! And he let us help with the festival's preparations!
 
OH YES THE FESTIVAL! The festival of Tides Embrace! It's tonight and I,Yunseul & Xiu Mei will be performing! Along with Lee! He has...a weird instrument with him. I never saw something like that before but he is very good! (I'm more of a harp person myself,to be honest.)
Soot and Shurr also worked on preparations of the festival! AND THEY DID A WONDERFUL JOB! I heard something about a firework show! SO EXCITED TO SEE THAT!!! I'm sure it will work out perfectly as Soot is in charge of the canons! And Shurr was working on another machine. I think it was a power generator of sorts? I'm really sure, but Shurr is sure! Haha,get it? Anyway- Shurr seemed to be able to fix it and change out the crystals! They were kind enough to use some of their own resources and I think I should find some Aether crystals to give them! As a little thank you for being so sweet! They also did write a big manual on how to use that machine...It looked like a huge tome...how did they write it in 4 hours...Truly amazing! Such skill!
 
We also learned about some catacombs that no one really goes. So far we have been told we are allowed to enter but to be careful. I'm also looking forwards to that! More adventures with everyone! So wonderful! I think this little detour of ours will pay out! Glad to see that everyone can make the best out of hard situations!
 
And I am especially glad to see everyone being healthy and okay. I hope we get to bond more during the festival! I want to learn more about everyone!
 
AND THAT IS ALL FOR NOW!!!
Overall a very calm and nice day that will end with a nice fun festival! So excited!
 
PS: The lead dancer lady that helped us,Osha, gave me & Xiu Mei some very pretty dresses! And they seem to be a big fan of Yunseul(Nyx) work! I'm so happy I get to see them get the recognition they deserve! They work so hard and are so talented!
