An island outside the country in the middle of the sea as explained by Azure, the informant of the guild, though the blue mage was irritated by the dwarf's unintended rude interruption of his studies. Brone was appreciative of the information, though he prodded the informant further with a barrage of questions such as how to get to such a place, how long it would take, and how much would he would need to bring in currency for such a trip. When Brone was given everything he needed along with a map with direction instructions to the island, he was kicked out of the mage's room, and soon he was on his way.
The travel was enjoyable... at first. Being able to see the sky was enjoyable and traveling to a port was a breath of fresh air, but once the dwarf was on the deck of the ship that he needed to take in order to reach the island, his stomach sank. Out beyond him was the vast ocean and below it was the abyss of the sea that clutched at the fear within him. Brone didn't realize that his fear of the abyss would ever worsen... he was wrong.
As the ship set out, Brone watched as the mainland vanished beyond the horizon behind him. Eventually, all around him was just the open sea, causing his body to shake from the terror. For the rest of the trip, Brone remained below deck, sleeping and eating, where he felt the safest, though the rocking of the ship and the smell of the salty sea was still a reminder of where he was.
When the ship finally docked at the destination, Brone landed upon the hot sand in victory, drawing looks from locals and foreigners but he cared not. After getting a look about the beautiful beach and getting a bite to eat, the dwarf walked up and down the beach line as instructed by the challenger in the letter, stating he would spot the dwarf when he arrived. Fully armored with his weaponry, Brone figured it would be difficult for anyone to miss him, for the entire time he was walking upon the sand, everyone was staring in his direction. The sun beamed down upon the dwarf and the heat was great, but it didn't bother him for two reasons; he had grown up near the forges of his clan's home within the mountains which was always hot, and Casdae's Edict continued to emit a cold aura surrounding him, cooling him but also causing beach-goers to run from him to escape the cold... though the dwarf thought it was actually because of his intimidating look.
