"There's nothing in the Shifting Seas that don't change constantly, but it's usually a short trip to the Isle, often less than a day," says Aerys. "It's all business for me, though. Suppliers want to renegotiate a deal--shouldn't take too long. Maybe I'll even finish it up quick enough to see this contest, eh? It sounds like fun."Perhaps we will have a chance to make music on this voyage. One of the little people has a fiddle, and my countryman Noriaki tells me that he plays the koto--it is a type of zither--although he has no instrument. He is going to enter a contest of arms at this same competition. Are you going for that, or do you have another reason for taking this journey?"
"I am going home.""Ahh... May I ask what does bring you aboard if not the games, Master Ishirou?"
"--or anything so burdensome as a tidbit of knowledge," Gelik mutters very softly, but unfortunately not softly enough to elude Alkas's keen ears. In a slightly condenscending tone, he explains: "The henges are circles of large, old stones. They're magical portals. One leads to the Valley of Bone, the other to the Kingdom of Jade.""Henges? What's that? As for me? Well, there's gonna, going, to be some Games there, a competition of skill, strength and song. As you could probably guess I'm here for the strength part, can't carry a tune any more than I can carry the Seas"
