Our boots touched down on the sandbank of Isla Island.
"This place is… quiet," Ruby whispered, her gaze scanning the treeline surrounding us.
It was only the four of us Ruby, me, Maria, and one of Maria's maids who stepped foot here.
Honestly, I expected something more dramatic.
You know, grand gates, elegant statues carved from divine marble, golden walkways… something Olympus-worthy.
But this? This was just… nature.
Literally, everywhere my eyes could see were either massive trees or water bodies.
And the breeze brushing through the canopy and birds chirping from above.
"This is it?" I muttered under my breath.
Maria walked slightly ahead of us, her maid following closely behind.
"It is," she replied without turning around. "Lord Karton doesn't like visitors. You're only the second he'll meet."
I blinked. "So you were the first?"
Maria nodded.
So the God of Time met Maria first… and now me.
"Wait, does that mean you were his first ever Apostle?"
