The world is a massive and wondrous place. Before humans use to believe it was small and was easy to fall off, but soon discovered it had no end. Not even an end to it's wonders. Some we can see everyday when we really look, but there some that are harder to find. And some are kept to never be found.
In the land of Amalone legend tells of a mysterious power forged into a physical form, one that could be touched. Stories and tales were spun about this power. That whoever held it could tip a scale in their favor, that it could give them greatness and power beyond your dreams. Many fools have tried to find this place and claim it, but those who even made it back were never the same. Most never returned.
Soon the legend was thought to be nothing more that a story for a child. Though there will always be those who believe even when everyone else doesn't. Some do because they have nothing else to believe in.

Having heard the story of the legend of a mysterious power all his childhood Alceron a young adventurer would have set out on a journey to hopefully find what he was questing for in order to save his village.
Wearing his father's armor and donning his sword as he stoped near a lone tavern to ask for any information at all centred around the childhood fairy tail, walking over to the innkeeper he would smile politely
"Excuse me im looking for any information around the legendary power"
He smiles altough the way he phrased it would make it seem like he was serious

The owner was wiping a rag cleaning the bar counter as the man asked his question.
"There are many stories of legendary powers. Like dragon's blood, or unicorn's horn. He, but when was the last time anyone has seen one? Fist time I've heard that question today. Can I get you anything?" The owner was merely trying to make a joke, not realizing how serious the guest actually was. He may be dressed close to a knight but he didn't seem anything of royal employment.

"Well an ale would be perfect and i was talking about this power"
He would tell the story he had been told so many times when he was young
"Im seeking it to help my village "

"You seek Amaloge?" the owner asked as he was preparing the drink.
"Actually it's pronounced Amalone," said another voice. The tavern owner's own wife said, who was busy clearing a table.
"Mable that is merely a story."
"Doesn't matter if it is or isn't, people have the right to believe in what they choose."
The owner merely hands Alceron his drink and shrugs his shoulders. He then turns and gets back to his work. Mable with a bucket of dirty dishes in her arms walks over Alceron.
"Don't mind him. He hears a lot of rumors, makes it hard for him to choose. Not much of a believer in anything these days except how well the ale is here. But since you asked, as far as I know Amalone is said to be across the Flenar sea dew south west. But if my memory is right no ships at the harbor sail near it. You know cause the stories say none will come back? Id might be a wasted trip since you want to help your village only to go and never return."

"It must be something there if noone ever returns "

"It truly is the best ale ive tasted"

"Thank you," Mable says picking up the coins he used to pay for his beverage. "Well safe travels and if you prove the stories wrong please stop by again. There'll be more ale awaiting your return."

"Im pretty sure il return i cant afford not to "
He smiles staying at the in for a little longer enjoying the ale before he decided it was time to leave he would wave at the innkeeper and his wife before he decided to leave heading towards the port looking for a boat to rent or something

But at the harbor, just like Mable said not many of the boats were going near to where he wanted to go. Strangely even if a ship was sailing in the same direction they would make a veer to avoid an area surrounding it as if they were cursed waters. However there was one ship the Oakum that does sail closer to the 'cursed' waters than any of the other ships. It was huge, strong enough to fight passed frightful storms. If any ship was one to take it was Oakum.

Walking over to the oakum he would exhamine the ship from the outside before looking for the boatsman
"Permission to come onboard, i wish to talk to the captain "
He would say hopeing somone heard him

One person on the ship comes to the railing. He was average height, dressed in appropriate attire for sea traveling. His face had a few stubble hairs on his chin ready for a shave. His hair was cut short. Looking down he saw who was calling out for permission to come aboard.
"Who is asking," he asked.

"I'm sorry to tell you this but even though we will be sailing close to the place you say, we won't be docking there."

"We do but that is not my decision to make." The man checks his pocket watch. "Still another fifteen minutes before scheduled departure. I believe I can take you to the captain and he'll listen to your request. Only he can give the answer. Permission granted to come aboard."
