Emerald Dream Realm, Kasenna Sea, Leonidas's Palace.
Golden sunlight, a sapphire sea, and waves of the purest white, endlessly crashing against the shore. The scenery was breathtaking, and Orion's mood was peaceful.
Leonidas's Palace was a strange and wondrous place. No matter how large the waves, they would break and fall away just before reaching the palace plaza, never touching the pristine marble. This was with the main defensive shields down—a truly extraordinary phenomenon.
As Orion stared at the palace railings, pondering the source of this magic, a whirlpool formed on the surface of the sea just beyond them. Kraken, in his massive octopus form, was perched atop the head of his captain avatar as it strode out of the vortex, walking on water.
With a final splash, the avatar landed in the palace plaza. The whirlpool behind it collapsed, spraying water into the air.
