Her sad, brief tale didn't surprise him, but he did empathize. [color=silver][I]Everyone has a Story to tell.[/I][/color] He though somberly. He was considering what to say next when Sasha gave the call to prepare to head for the island. Ferrin looked up to see that the island was indeed very close. And what an oddly shaped island it was. At first he didn't quite understand what he was seeing. It looked like two islands stacked on top of each other. But Ferrin's perspective changed as he realized what he was looking at. [color=silver]"Stars, it's a tree."[/color] He breathed quietly in awe. [color=silver]"The Tenrou Tree. I've never seen it's like in person before...[/color] It was a tree so massive, it's uppermost branches formed a solid layer that somehow rock and dirt had accumulated on, becoming it's own island in the sky, held up by the massive, twisted, knarled, majestic truck of the tree. Here was something that remained from the past. Something that connected past, present, and future, simply by existing. This same tree was the one that watched over Guildmaster Mavis, the same on that generations of wizards from Fairy Tail must have laid eye on through many centuries. And the island was the place where it all began. He turned to Amaya. [color=silver]"May we continue this conversation later? It seems that Sasha is in a hurry to disembark, which I'm sure you, as a motion-sick-prone-slayer would appreciate."[/color] He flashed her a small grin and stood to the side, gallantly gesturing with his claw-like metal hand for her to go before him. [color=silver]"Ladies first."[/color] He said, acting the part of the chivalrous gentleman.
