((lol Yeligar and Vinny~))
"Yeligar! Can you hear me? Yeligar!!"
Vincent called out worriedly for the warlord. If he was knocked unconscious and needed help it was imperative he find him. They'd been sailing across the world when they hit a wild storm.
Usually Vincent was more than capable of handling the helm and putting a ship back on course to safety, but as luck would have had it an epic hurricane had to take over...and for some reason they were the only ones on this ship (Vincent hadn't liked that to begin with, despite it being such a small one, but still).
Needless to say it took a nasty crashing into an unfamiliar island, it felt like the entire ship exploded when it hit. Vincent vaguely recalled being hurled forward, covering his head before he landed on top of sand and rock. His whole upper body and down one side of his thigh was sore from the landing and he'd been more worried about finding his colleague before planning a new course of action.

"WELL SORRY TEMPESTA!" Yeligar shouted at his lance. "YOU DON'T HAVE DESTROY THE SHIP TO PROVE A POINT!" He walked over to Vincent, "Hey man, I am sorry about that, Tempesta got mad, and well, wanted to prove a point."

Vincent stood where he was, blinking as Yeligar showed up yelling at his lance. He remembered the first time he'd heard the man muttering to it years ago...he thought he was crazy.
Turns out that this "Tempesta" was actually a someone, inside the lance. Go figure.
"Wait, what point? Yeligar, why is your lance trying to kill the both of us?!" Vincent demanded to know, feeling himself becoming quickly impatient.

"Well, Tempesta wants me to go to Unda so she could visit her temple, for like 5 days, and I kept telling her that no, we need to get ready for when we stop Trucido." He said, "So, she thought she could make a point, that she can still make it storm."

Vincent stared. Slowly, wonderfully, he got even angrier before he stepped forward and started yelling at both Yeligar and the lance.
"Listen, you two! Just because you're both having a few issues with each other doesn't mean you get attitude on the ship I'm in command of and try to kill us all! Take it up with each other on land! Now none of us are getting to Unda because you're both acting like kids!"
He sighed once he calmed down, squinting around at their surroundings.
"...looks nothing like I've seen before for an island, and I've been sailing a lot. It's not familiar to me, must be uncharted."

"No, this was charted, you just lost the charts!" Yeligar said to him as he looked around, "But, I don't think we have landed here. Be on your guard."

Vincent half flinched as Yeligar pointed out Vincent's horrible flaw, losing the charts like he did. Brushing it off quickly Vincent drew his sword and began to take a few steps forward into the grassy world around them. He stopped short, looking at all of the towering trees; it looked like they were in some kind of jungle.
"Maybe we'll get lucky and find some pirates to--"
His head quickly turned towards a patch of shrubs. He'd heard rustling without the aid of any kind of breeze, that meant most likely something living was nearby. Hopefully an animal, they wouldn't have to worry right away about food, then.
He didn't glance to Yeligar but kept his gaze fixed upon the shrubs, readying his sword and slowly stepping forward.

"Vincent, what is it?" He asked as he looked at the shrub that was shaking. "Ah, you think you can handle it?"

Vincent put his hand up to Yeligar to silence him and he stepped forward with as quiet of steps as he could towards the shrub. It stilled as well, the being inside it sensing Vincent's presence drawing nearer. He decided to give it another couple of moments before he tore the shrub apart.
In less than that, a sudden "bahh-h-h-h!" was heard and out from the shrub leaped a white goat. The sudden appearance by the harmless animal surprisingly threw Vincent entirely off-guard, causing him to flail and fall backwards on his bottom.
"WHOA, what the f***?!" he yelled as he hit the ground. Wow, was that ever embarrassing, probably the least manliest thing he'd done in a long time.

"Haha." Yeligar laughed, "This has been a baaaaaad day for you?" He chuckled as he turned around. He then he turned around to look for supplies to build a ship, but he saw spears surrounding him. "...Oh boy." He said as he raised his arms in the air.

"Ha ha, you're a real joker, funny guy," Vincent spat sarcastically as he rose to his feet. As he turned to face Yeligar his eyes widened at the sight of several women with barely nothing on! SCORE surrounding them with weapons. Rather than drop his own and raise his hands in surrender like Yeligar, Vincent tightened the grip on his sword and readied for battle.
"Good afternoon, ladies," Vincent spoke calmly, "we come upon this island meaning no harm, we are looking for a way to leave--"
A tanned girl with brown hair hissed, interrupting Vincent. She leaped forward, looking ready to stab him. He kept his stance.
"You be not leaving!" she spat, glancing to Yeligar, "neither."
"I beg to differ, milady," Vincent grinned, stepping forward. Seeing him move made the girl leap at him with her spear--along with her moved a handful of others. Despite how gentle Vincent usually was with women, he swung his sword at them and fought back (like, come on, what were you supposed to do when they were seemingly trying to kill you?).
Agile the ladies were, flexible and very strong. The battle he had with them didn't last long as the one tanned girl who'd approached him lashed her spear around to trip him and as he landed another woman brought a large plank of wood down on his head. The last thing heard from Vincent was a defeated "Dammit!" before he was rendered unconscious.
A couple of the ladies hoisted Vincent up over their shoulders and carried him away, the others turned to Yeligar. A tall blonde-haired woman pointed her spear tip up close to Yeligar's throat.
"Name," she demanded.

"Oh, I am sorry." He said. The fact they were ambushed he forgot to introduce himself, then again, they were the one that ambushed them. "My name is Yeligar Maelstrom, from Crepusculum, the kingdom of the twilight. He is Vincent Loque, from Ingis, kingdom of fire. May I ask what your name is?"

The woman smiled at Yeligar and how polite he was. She brought her spear down as he spoke and shortly after he gave her their names she whirled her spear around and hit Yeligar in the side with the staffed end.
"March," she demanded, refusing to give a name for herself. A couple more ladies followed close behind, spears pointing into Yeligar's back as they forced him to follow behind the other women that carted Vincent off. The blonde one kept herself close to Yeligar, smiling slyly as she walked with her spear in her hand.
"Going to the Queen."
Lead through a massive jungle that was so dense it seemed like it'd be impossible to navigate through it even with compass and map, the women dressed in their animal-skinned clothes and footwear hauled their 'prisoners' to a large stone temple just over a bridge, connected to a waterfall. They carried Vincent inside, pushed Yeligar far ahead of them and directly into the temple's main entrance.
Inside the temple it was dark, dimly lit by torches aside from small breaks in the walls that let in whatever sunlight was outside in the thick jungle. The one blonde woman slipped past the group and stepped ahead of everyone, stepping lightly and full of pride as one other woman at the end of the room leaped down from what looked to be a pedestal of sorts. She was more elaborately decorated than the others, with a massive animal skull headdress. Her hair was a long, curling blonde as well that fell gently over her shoulders. She approached the other blonde woman, curiously looking over Yeligar and Vincent.
"Artemis, you have returned," her eyes met Yeligar's and her eyebrows raised, intrigued as she looked back to the one known now as Artemis, "...you've brought men."
Artemis knelt before the Queen (as she so would have presumed to be the leader) and responded, "Trapped. Strange weapon. Fire Man and Twilight Man."
The Queen looked to Tempesta that was being held by one of the others, then to Yeligar and Vincent. Hearing a groan made her turn her gaze firmly upon Vincent and she asked, "Why is this one out?"
Artemis looked over and responded, "Tried fighting, that one. Tried talk first, Zuma made him silent." To the side the tanned woman from before beamed proudly. The Queen let out a hearty laugh and looked over Yeligar.
"Twilight man, you are. Correct?" she spoke, only too certain that she was right.

"Oh, yes. I am Yeligar Maelstrom, Twilight man." He said, as he bowed to her. "You are the queen of this island? You have a lovely place here."

She nodded with a smile, tapping the left temple of her head as she said, "Ahhh, I know this. Man from Ignis always is dark, proud, mighty. He is hard to take down. Man from Crepusculum can vary, but always mysterious and at times hard to read. Very beautiful, too, all people from there."
She extended her arms both ways, almost as though she were showcasing the 'wonder' that was the grand temple they stood in, with all of the women around them.
"Kalista. 'Queen' they call me. Picked for being the wisest and strongest to lead. This island is ours, we too once were lost on this island until we created our own civilization out of it. All women, more peaceful, a heaven on Allorum. Men are rare, considered a gift from our gods," she motioned to Yeligar and Vincent as she spoke. Vincent stirred from his spot on the ground where he'd been set and he blinked confusedly, rubbing the sore spot on his head as he listened in and tried to make sense of...everything right now.
"Last time we had three, though. Ignis, Alberisato, and Roccia. Men are special here, despite how you were treated when you were greeted by Artemis."
