Stranger in Strange Land
@saharxsin
Youmaya is a huge tropical island inhabited by people who call themselves Youmateca. The island is located in the middle of the ocean surrounded by 5 smaller islands connected together with bridges. Reaching them is not an easy task, even for experienced sailors as the waters around it were not calm often torn with storms, and underwater sharp rocks and sandbanks waited for those unwary.
The area of the archipelago itself was calm, paradise-like. Those who managed to reach it spoke of welcoming people, flora of such vibrant colours that probably exists nowhere else, and wildlife any hunter would want in their collection to show with pride.
Youmateca lived from fishing, hunting and trading between each other and with occasional travelers who managed to reach the main port. And each of those foreign ships were huge news for the native people.
Amoxtli - Youmateca princess - was travelling to the port on her own. She had sneaked out of the palace to visit the market and was enjoying the solitude. Frankly she was going to be recognized in the port immediately, but she hoped for at least an hour there before it be time to go home. Not like anyone would attack her. She heard of new ship that has arrived and was curious who those foreigners were.
