Biography

Wavecrest Saturnalia Scavenger Hunt
2016

You wander on the outskirts of the camp, staring out at the sea as you mull over what the dragons had told you about Rusty’s crew. There were things piecing together in the story, but you still didn’t have much of an idea of where the treasure was. There were a few hints, but you wanted more, and you wanted more now.

Letting out a huff, you sit down near the shore, swiping your tail along the sand. Maybe something else was here, by some sort of chance. Another piece of the paper. Another rock for a ring to hide under. Something else. You dig around for a while in the area, but find nothing, a scowl planting itself on your face.

“Hey, camper. Something bugging ya?”

You jump as a voice appears from behind you, spinning to face whoever it came from. A guardian dragon was resting behind you, an amused glimmer in his eyes. He chuckles when you ask him when he got there, shaking his head.

“I’ve been here this whole time, camper. You sure you’re doing okay? That looked like some frustrated digging you did there.”

The guardian leaned against the sand, almost lounging under the sun at this point. He still seemed to pay close attention to you, though. With a sigh, you say that you were looking for some lost treasure of Captain Rusty or something like that. You shift your weight a little before admitting that you weren’t sure exactly where it was, but you were sure you’d find it eventually. The guardian chuckled.

“Yeah, Rusty hid that one pretty well this time around, didn’t he? Even while rushing, he could still find a great spot for the newest chest. I still wonder how he did that to this day.”

You perk up at his words, staring at the dragon. You move forward, asking if he knew Rusty, and if he was involved with the day his crew was attacked. The guardian sent you a knowing grin, his eyes bright still.

“Of course! What a day that was. I mean, it was bad, since the whole crew split up, and poor Lady had to go through that trouble. Rusty felt so bad about that, I wasn’t sure he was going to continue his ways. I got him through, though. You looking to hear about it?”

You sit down in front of him, curling your tail around your feet. A quick answer flitted from your mouth as you waited for the guardian to respond. He laughed at how fast you got ready, sitting up a little as he looked over at you.

“Got it. Got it. I can’t tell you all of it, though. I do have to follow the Captain’s orders, after all. But I’ll give you the gist of it to make it a little easier. You seem pretty nice, after all.”

“But I’ll just start with that day so that things aren’t that long. When the Pride of the Tides first came in. Rusty pulled me down to his cabin, looking..off for once. He told me he wasn’t too sure what to do in this situation; that he wanted to give the newer recruits a chance to escape. He didn’t want them to get in trouble, since he was sure that the Pride would come after him and his treasure. He tried to get me to join the escape route, but I told him there was no way I was gonna leave his side.

“It took a minute or two to totally convince him, before it was too late for him to stop me. The Pride had gotten to the ship. I helped another crew member Rusty had chosen carry the treasure as our Captain led the way, into the jungle of this random island. After clawing our way through a rather thick part of the forest, we reached our first obstacle...Caspian, one of the newer crew members. Rusty hadn’t expected this, and I think he first attempted to drive this one away by mentioning Lady, and possible danger to the lass.

“He didn’t take the bait, and the Ridgeback actually leapt on Captain Rusty, brawling with him! Even then, Rusty still thought of something. He jerked a tail toward the vines, a signal for a trap we had planned beforehand, to keep the Pride back. However, it wasn’t one of the harmful ones. We took hold of the vines, tangling them all of the place so that Rusty could shove the kid into them, resulting in him getting stuck. We were lucky it worked, and it happened to be in a place where Pride of the Tides wouldn’t capture him.

“There was no time for apologies. We could hear the Pride’s forces coming. So, Rusty turned and ran towards the other side of the island. For most islands, especially abandoned ones, there was at least one lone boat left on one side. Tidelord puts one there just in case a dragon gets stuck at one place or another. On this one, there was only room for two. The crew member with us glanced at us before saying that she would be fine, and disappeared into the jungle before Rusty or I could make a retort.

“We ended up getting the treasure in the small ship, and crawled in ourselves, pushing it off to a certain distance from the shore. From there, the order was to hide and wait for the all-clear. I can’t remember much after this point. My mind became a bit scrambled. There were bits that were clear. We sank the ship at one point, but I’m not entirely sure where the treasure is. I know we hid it somewhere around here, but that’s the best I’ve got.

“After that...Rusty and I were back on the island, and there was a rustling that he said he’d check out. I figured it was just a Pride member, but I’m still not sure to this day. He never came out of the jungle, and the Pride never found me. I searched for Rusty for a long time after that, calling for him and trying to get to the bottom of what happened. Before I knew it...I found myself able to wander wherever I could as long as it was by the island. And that I didn’t need to eat food or anything anymore.

“But that’s besides the fact. You know a general vicinity for the treasure, right? I can't give you too much but if you're clever enough you can figure it out. Sorry I couldn’t give you more, camper. It’s all I have, after all.”

You smile, telling him that it was definitely more than enough. You thank him for the story, and the clue, before remembering that the camp might be ending soon. With a quick farewell, you glance toward the lake. You’d find that treasure soon enough.
