Omnari sped toward the island, increasing the speed of her Hover-Ski so it rose a full foot above the water. There was just enough sun to power it ... sun she would have enjoyed if not for the boring scavenger hunt her ancient history teacher assigned. She slowed as she spotted her target: the broken rusty arm gripping the torch and the severed metal head in a shattered crown staring sadly out to sea. Omnari blinked to take an EyePhoto, checked her list, and headed toward the crumbled city in the distance.
