Knowing he would struggle, Vain decided to walk along the beach in search of his sword. The first step he took he stepped on something squishy. After a lot of experience, Vain prepared and tried to reach for his sword as he jumped back getting in a fighting stance. Unfortunately, just as quickly he realized he had no sword. As soon as he realized he had no weapon he panicked a bit as he tried to see what squishy thing he stepped on.
Looking around wearily he soon saw an odd looking rock. It looked more like a starfish with six arms instead of the usual five. The starfish entity had colors that made it blend in well with the rocks. Thinking back to his read-through of the folder he was given he quickly remembered the entities on the island.
I looked at pines for too long for this chapter. Just research in general just took a while. What I will say is that I truly like the Bristlecone pine. That is a cool tree.
