She saw Kavius, Sam, Ashley, and Troe... and this new old-lady mage who looked so out of place. Margot looked at the magical barrier. She had no clue what it was made of or how to get around it. [i]Where's my money? How am I going to become rich and famous with all this mist stuff preventing me from getting onto the island? How am I going to seduce the king if I can't get the money? Where's my money???[/i] Margot eyed the old lady mage suspiciously. [i]I bet that old lady mage has something to do with what's happening on the island! Maybe she's some type of henchman or minion of the real person who is messing up the island! Cuz why would all these boats wreck on this shore if she's been standing there the whole time to alert all the boats to avoid this shore? Maybe she's the one who got these boats to come to this shore. I find it really hard to believe that every boat that came near this island wrecked on this one mile coastline. Something smells fishy about this old woman mage. [/i] Margot's eyes thinned as she thought of what she would do. [i]Hmm... I will play along. I will gather information about her. Then, if I am right, at some point, I will expose her for what she is.. Then, I will finally get my money.[/i] Margot spoke. [color=8dc73f]"Uh, maybe if we um... go left or right, I mean... uh... sideways... maybe we'll eventually get to a part of the island's parameter where the mist won't be as strong, maybe?"[/color] [i]Maybe this old lady mage made the mist, and if we mute her magic, we'll make the mist go away![/i]
