Poseidon Adventure

The islands around Rhodes were beautiful. The sun shone down lazily, it's beams carressing the grass, making it sway as if in a hammock. I swam from shore to shore, exploring the delicate beauty of my surroundings.

I could see from my map that someone was over the nearby mountain range, so I climbed the mountain and looked down upon a Greek city.

The Opportunity arises

This was the Land of Opportunity and it was graceful.

The Ares Mall

The mall was full of statues and information that explained much of art and history. Then, in the centre of the mall was an arena for paintball.

But what caught my eye was the great temple-like building to the west. I took the Swanboat tour around the islands to learn more.

Upon the swanboat, the swan spoke to me of the sights of the area. Then, behind the waterfall stood the oveseer of my journey, the Great Poseidon.

I realised that perhaps I was like Odyssess before me, challenged by Poseidon across the waves, but I merely wish to find my way home, to wherever that may be.

I explored the casino and nightclub and was fortunate to meet my cousin,

Joel Ra

Who gave me some warnings of my journey ahead.

"Beware the Goreans" he said. Ominous words and I had no ideas who they were. Joel presented to me a pamphlet on the Gorean way of life. They are certainly not someone I wish to meet. In all seriousness, do not become involved with these people.

I met the various dancers at the club and Joel tells me he is going to become a DJ at the club. I made a solemn promise that when my travels are over, I shall visit him again with my companions. Perhaps my celebratory party shall be held there.

But beyond the islands was a vast ocean, that stretched ever onwards until it reached the shores of the Mainland. My next stop would be the coast of Mul and the teeming mainland.
