'''Journey to the Lost Isle''' is a [[plot]] which began on May 1, 2007. | |||
==Plot summary== | |||
===Chapter 1=== | ===Chapter 1=== | ||
[[Hugo Fairweather]] was holding a scientific gathering to share his deciphering of the journal of [[Mad Tongue Murphy]], who was said to discover a mysterious island. The journal, which was written in text similar to [[Tyrannia]]n, has finally been translated after the discovery of a tablet containing a passage in two forms of Tyrannian by his daughter [[Lilian Fairweather]]. Hugo used the passage in the form of Tyrannian he knew to learn the second language. With his findings, he determined to start a journey to find the island based on the writings of the journal. He was joined by [[Roxton A. Colchester III]], who relished the thought of discovering a new land, while most others condemned his actions as insanity. | [[Hugo Fairweather]] was holding a scientific gathering to share his deciphering of the journal of [[Mad Tongue Murphy]], who was said to discover a mysterious island.

Lilian and Hugo continued to be stunned by the sheer quantity of plant life to research and whether the creatures on the island could be linked to those of legend. Roxton then plucked a pink flower and presented it to Lilian, who recognised it as a ''selerium taniverens'', a flower whose self defence mechanisms were quite "marvellous to behold". On hearing that its sap was extremely toxic when applied to the skin, Roxton hastily dropped the flower in surprise. | Lilian and Hugo continued to be stunned by the sheer quantity of plant life to research and whether the creatures on the island could be linked to those of legend.
