Somewhere in the Galestine Ocean.
The giant Coral Island continued to flow westward at a slow, steady pace. At one of the far ends of the island, a colossal turtle head rose above the surface of the water.
"What's wrong with Brother?" Valerian, seated atop Tebu's head, asked in a crestfallen mood.
"It's like… he wants to cry, but he just ends up laughing," he added. "I've never seen him like this. Maybe he's gone a little crazy while I was asleep?"
Tebu blinked his eyes slowly.
"Little Valerian," he began. "Just what did he find within the inheritance ground?"
The little gray cat tilted his head and said innocently, "He found a coffin. With someone frozen in it. So it wasn't exactly an inheritance ground, but a tomb."
"A tomb…" The ancient turtle murmured, though his voice rang like thunder.
His memory of the time was hazy and fragmented due to Wagner casting a spell on him. So Tebu wasn't quite sure if he'd seen the man leave after coming to the island the last time.
