Frustrated, Felix was about to jump into the water when he noticed a boat near where he was.
How did I not catch that earlier...? he wondered to himself.
He shrugged it off and got in the boat, finding a paddle quickly and untying the boat from the dock just as fast. He then set out into the open water, where a fog was beginning to form.
He continued to paddle silently until he saw a faint outline through the fog. His spirits lifted a bit, and he remained cautiously optimistic until he reached the island.
Once he reached the island, he looked around a bit. The fog still hadn't lifted, and he couldn't see very far in any direction. He took a few steps forward, but then remembered to beach the boat completely so it wouldn't float away.
He finished the task quickly, and then stepped onto the island to explore. From what he could see, the beach was mainly gravel and loose rocks, with large stone monoliths standing up in random places. He continued forward, his eyes fixated on the large mountain ahead of him. He set his hand on the pommel of the sword he had brought with him, and he could feel the ruby in the pommel react, heating up a little. He ignored this, though, as he always did. He was so fixated on the mountain in front of him, and getting closer, that he didn't notice figure creeping silently around him.

Aria watched cautiously as the stranger walked onto the beach, hiding behind a large stone monolith despite the fog that hid her. She crept silently around him, despite the gravel (a trick she had been practicing for a long time, and was getting very good at), and worked her way to his rear,quickly unsheathing her sword and moving into action.
Within a second she had his head pulled back, hair in hand, and her sword pressed to his exposed throat.
"Who are you," she growled, "And why have you come here?" She was not in the mood for company right now, and didn't like the way he was resting his hand on his sword.
