The beaches surrounding Port Argentium are long, and white, and get very hot during the day. As you get further from the mouth of The Argentium River, the beaches get longer. Frequently, these beaches are where refugees fresh from The Mists end up washing ashore. As such, Port Argentium has invested in keeping a close eye on these beaches. Watchtowers are set up along the beaches every few hundred meters. Guards with signaling mirrors keep a watch for bodies washing ashore or threats to Port Argentium.

The Temptation makes landfall, and it's crew rejoices. Venus frowns pensively, staring at the land deeply, when she notices the familiar Isran flag across the landscape. She smiles, an idea formulating in her head. She turns to Selene, her lieutenant, and nods. "This is where I shall leave."
"As you wish, Captain."
"I am no longer your Captain, but your Lady. Your Mistress."
"As you wish, my Lady." Selene responds smoothly, with a gentle curtsy. "I bid you farewell, but sincerely? I hope to never lay eyes upon you again." She tucks some ivory hair behind her ear.
Venus laughs, her chest rising with great force as she roars with laughter. "My my, Selene. Such rudeness. No matter, the new captain is allowed to be as rude as she desires. That's really all I care about anyways.. The desire." Venus smiles. She grabs the few items that she has with her, and she jumps off the bow of the ship, landing in the soft sand. She marches across the beach, as if looking for something. Venus catches her former crew looking at her a few times, but she keeps marching until they no longer can see the beauty herself. Venus sniffs the air, catching a whiff of.. Something. Something familiar, besides the sand and salty waters.

"As you wish, Captain." Selene chirped back respectfully.
"I am no longer your Captain, but your Lady. Your Mistress." Venus chided, and Selene pursed her lips.
"As you wish, my Lady." Selene responded smoothly, with a gentle curtsy. "I bid you farewell, but sincerely? I hope to never lay eyes upon you again." She tucks some ivory hair behind her ear, immensely uncomfortable and unsure.
Venus laughed, her chest rising with great force as she roared with laughter. "My my, Selene. Such rudeness. No matter, the new captain is allowed to be as rude as she desires. That's really all I care about anyways.. The desire." Venus smiled at the new Captain, unnerving her.
Selene released a sigh of relief as Venus fled the ship. She turned to look at her crew, the remnants of it, and smiled. This.. This she could work with. A few desperate souls, a few soulless monsters, and every shade of grey in between. This was Selene's passion. Working out arrangements, deals. "First, my dears, we must dock onto land so our ship does not float away. Do you think you lot can handle that without me? I have some preparations I must do for Lady Venus."
"Lady Venus, eh? You mean the Captain? I just saw her running off," a man hollered, indignant. "What's she doing goin' off in the horizon?"
"I am your new captain now." An immediate uproar response. Selene calmly raised her hand, and quieted them down with a feeble enchantment. "Lady Venus has chosen me to be your new captain. If you don't like that, then you can get out. That being said, she has also given me instructions on how best to lead things, until I figure out my own way. I am going to raise Lucifer St. Cross as my first lieutenant as opposed to second lieutenant, and I am going to raise Claire O. Diamond as my second lieutenant."
Mercedes gave Selene a nasty look, which the pale woman returned with a smile. While everyone expected Lucifer to rise with Selene, Claire was a shock. Including to the woman herself. The gangly adolescent was bewildered. "Really? Y-you want me? Wow, thanks!" Claire looked ecstatic, and filled with joy. Selene smiled at her softly, she couldn't wait to turn that joy into sorrow.

Grandma's robe rustled softly in the breeze as she glided across the sands. She had come out here to gather more smooth stones and sea shells, but it also gave her a chance to get a better look at the coastline. The fresh ocean air was rather pleasant, but did little to make up for the total lack of civilization, at least on the part of the island they had landed on. How long would it take to regain even a fraction of the progress they had made in Isra? And was there something that could be done about this damnable mist? Pondering these questions and others, Grandma continued her meandering stroll down the beach, lost deep in thought as she grew her collection of shells and stones.

Venus continued to sniff the air, turning around frantically with a bit of manic excitement. The familiar crackle of mana, but saltier than the sea Venus stood against, she grinned. She closed her eyes, letting her nose guide her further as she wandered towards Grandma's location. When the scent grew too overpowering for Venus, she opened her eyes to see the other hellish entity, perusing the stones and shells of the beach.
"Grandma," she greeted with a pleased curl of her lips.

Looking up from her collecting, Grandma made eye contact with Venus, a smile of her own creasing her wizened features. This wasn’t quite the Venus she remembered, but such a thing as fickle as appearance wouldn’t throw the old crone off in the least when it came to recognizing an old acquaintance. Especially one of the nature Venus was.
“Why Venus… I can’t say I expected to see you here. Given current events, I had assumed you would have vacated the Overworld immediately.”
Stroking her chin, Grandma regarded her with a genuinely curious expression. She was truly surprised to see Venus here. Her understanding had been that the Overworld was nothing more than a fun jaunt for the demon, but for them to be sticking around even in the mists? Perhaps she had misjudged how fond Venus was of this realm.
“Hells forbid, you haven’t found yourself stranded in the Overworld, have you?” While she doubted this was the case, it was a line of questioning Grandma was willing to prod at regardless.

Venus rolled her eyes, letting out a dry chuckle. "When you discussed the possibility of raising those.. Lovely foes of mine, I prepared myself just in case I needed to take a vacation. A few things here and there, I wasn't needed in the Overworld, so I left some time ago. Then," she paused, shrugging as casually as she could. "Oh, well, you know. A new trick of Nharkotep's, but the same result as he's so fond of." She popped her knuckles, before cracking her neck socket. She wasn't surprised to see Grandma, the older entity was always lurking about. Nonetheless, Venus felt confident in that if she was alive, so were the primary movers and shakers of the world. Hopefully Naoki too.
"I may have partook in an duel with him. I would have won too, had he not played his infernal tricks. Alas, I am banished here and with no way to currently return." She lets out a bitter laugh. "Hells forbid indeed." She tapped her cheek lightly. "To my surprise, when I returned aboard my ship, to this Overworld, Isra was underwater. Or, at the very least, I couldn't find it anyways. Though, seeing you here makes me think something did happen to the empire. What have I missed, exactly?"

Nharkotep… Grandma didn’t know him well but she’d heard about him here and there. Some from Venus and some simply from his reputation. The fact Venus had taken to dueling him meant she had undergone a significant amount of growth recently. At least, in Grandma’s estimation.
She didn’t know the exact strength of the various leaders of the Eternal Hells, but she had been under the impression there had been quite the gap between Venus and her brother’s power… Granted, it seemed he had bested her, but the fact she had been willing to take on a fight in the first place said a lot.
“That is quite unfortunate then… Very cold of Nharkotep to lock you out like that. Knowing you I’m sure he won’t be able to keep you out for long though.” Letting out a slight sigh at Venus’s question regarding the Overworld, the old woman offered an ambiguous shrug while vaguely motioning towards the sea.
“During your absence another cataclysm took place. I couldn’t say what exactly set it off, but it has put most of the known world underwater. Isra is indeed sunk, along with most other nations as far as I’m aware. This island here is the first piece of land we’ve come across since boarding the Depravity.”
Stabbing her cane into the sand, Grandma leaned over to pluck a particularly large shell from the beach. Dusting off the sand that covered it, she dropped it with a clink into the cloth bag she carried.

The feeling of warm sand on her feet isn’t something Naoki is familiar with. There was some sand on the bank of The Silverion River, but it wasn’t ever warm. Plenty of it in Sakand, but Naoki didn’t stay long in Sakand — never even took her boots off. Now, as she walks down the beach, only a stone’s throw from the encampment, carrying her sandals in one hand… There’s something to it. The warm climate of this area is definitely something Naoki can get behind. Construction is coming along nicely and after a morning of drawing up blueprints for houses, feeling the warm sand on her feet is quite nice.
Looking out to sea, there’s The Depravity and the remains of the fleet. Or the beginnings of the fleet, she supposes. One of the next things they’ll need to do is sink that carrier and get some drydocks on the go. There are a few shipwrights among the building crew, and they’d probably like to return to their specialty, and more folks wash ashore every hour, it seems. Casting an eye toward the surf, she wonders if she’ll come across anyone.

"Another cataclysm? That's odd." She sniffed the air. "I presume Naoki and other high officials from Isra are alive? How long have you and the others been on this land? My former crew and myself landed just a few hours ago." Venus raised a brow at Grandma collecting the shell, but disregarded it. If the crone wanted a few pretty trinkets, it didn't bother her.

Naoki's eye would likely catch a decently sized ship abuzz with activity. Standing aboard the deck of the ship was a faintly familiar woman with vibrant white tresses, who seemed to be commanding the others.
"Mercedes, my decision is final. I hope you understand I did not forget that little stunt you pulled with the Hemlock Knight. You cost me quite a good deal of money, and you owe me."
"As if the money would be worth anything right now. If anything, I helped you." The woman with the purple bob sneered back.
"Oh," Selene laughed. "Is that how you look at it? Your debt is still not paid. You still owe me." Selene hissed. "Claire is my second lieutenant, and that is simply final. Perhaps if you were more competent, that would be different. As it stands, you are nothing but a mediocre failure. Claire is a better alchemist than you, my dear washed up hag."
"I'll have you know I taught Claire all she knows," Mercedes started, only to be cut off.
"And how quickly the student becomes the master! If you want to prove yourself as the superior alchemist, then I'll need to see proof."
"I'm the best alchemist in the world, Selene. You know that.. Is that Empress Naoki?" Mercedes asked, perplexed.
"I.. What?" Selene gaped, before turning around and seeing the cat empress. Former empress? It was hard to be the empress when one lacked an empire, Selene supposed. "Naoki?" She called down to the other woman, leaning over the edge of the deck.

“Naoki lives. As for ‘other high officials’ well… Alden made it, a few notable military personnel are still with us. The majority of the Isran bureaucracy are holding firm to their post in Isra, perhaps a bit too firm given current events.” Grandma let out a dry, humorless laugh at her final words.
“We haven’t been here long, only a few weeks. We’ve set up some tents but have little done just yet in the way of building any permanent structures. Naoki is leading things but there isn’t much in the way of a proper government structure set up just yet.”
Rearranging her robes that had been blown out of order by a sudden gust of wind, Grandma raised an eyebrow at the mention of Venus’ “crew”.
“You say your crew and you just landed here… Former crew, I should say. Where exactly are they at? And would I perhaps be familiar with any of them?” Grandma glanced around but saw no sign of the ship Venus spoke of.

Venus nodded, thinking about what this meant for the state of Isra's remnants, and for Venus' place in the government. She thinly smiled at Grandma's joke, also in part serving to express her glee at the perfect opportunity presenting itself. The thin smile flattened entirely at the mention of her crew.
"A bit of a way that way," she waved over in the direction Venus had initially come from. "And it is indeed possible. My former colleague, Lady Achae, she was also a socialite in Isran's upper echelon for a period of time, was a member of it. Other than that, I had two shadowsteppers. They were a bit unsavory, what with the thirst for blood, but it can't be helped when it comes to lowbreeds." She sniffed, doing a mental headcount of her former crew. "Two alchemists, and that distasteful halfbreed brat, Lucifer St. Cross," she sneered out the name like it were a foul curse.
"Alas, Selene was rather fond of him." If Grandma knew of Selene, she'd be surprised to hear she was alive. "Other than that, just a few average mortals that I decided to save from drowning. I had no desire to lead them, other than for the fact that I was the only one who knew how to run the ship correctly."

She called down to the other woman, leaning over the edge of the deck. There’s a ship. Naoki hums in surprise and approaches. Her ears make out the conversation over the sound of the surf, and she meanders her way toward it. There’s an argument going on, and is that voice...? She catches a glimpse of white hair, it is. Naoki isn’t sure what she expected to see, coming out here on the beach, but it wasn’t Selene. The two met once before, back in Isra, when Naoki was searching for someone to give her an heir. Selene offered to bear one, and they had a pleasant conversation in the courtyard, but Naoki opted not to at the time, on account of Selene being too damn smart, too ambitious. She would have been doing it for the power it’d give her, and she wasn’t shy about that. Naoki thought better options would come along, but then they sort of didn’t. She’d been meaning to seek Selene back out, but couldn’t find her. Seems like she’s captaining a ship, now. Funny how fate works like that. When Selene calls out to her, Naoki raises her free hand to wave in greeting. “Hello, Selene. Welcome to New Isra,” she offers, gesturing back to the tents. “Have a safe voyage?” She smirks.

Selene's lips tilted upwards, a broad display of emotion for the otherwise cold woman. She was dressed in far more functional attire, with a pair of black tights, simplistic boots and a black-blue jacket with a silver trim. Still fashionable as ever, but it seems Selene had discarded most of her flowy and extravagant dresses in favor of practicality. Even her hair, which was usually styled to perfect curls, was simply drawn back into a ponytail, kept out of her face and allowed her to do as needed. She even had discarded all her makeup, opting to let her natural beauty suffice for now. "Safe enough, I suppose!" She called back, voice coy and filled with humor. "The seas are about as treacherous as politics," she shrugged.
She made a gesture with her hand behind her back, indicting for Mercedes to lower the ramp so that Naoki could board. "Feel free to come aboard and check it out. We can talk more up here, anyways." She invited with a shout, so that her voice would carry down to Naoki.
