It
didn’t
look
promising
.
There
was
just
enough
mana
from
three
colors
—
Red
from
the
volcano,
Green
from
the
trees
and
vegetation,
and
Blue
from
the
flowing
water
and
reef
—
for
her
to
live
rather
comfortably
on
this
island
once
the
bare
necessities
were
taken
care
of
.
But
there
was
barely
a
trace
of
White
and
Black
here
.
Jasmine’s
stomach
rumbled
a
bit,
breaking
her
concentration
.
She
drew
a
tiny
amount
of
mana
that
was
floating
around
her
and
rolled
it
into
a
ball
with
her
fingers
.
She
looked
up
at
one
of
the
tall
palm
trees
and
found
coconuts
ripening
on
it
.
With
an
upward
swing,
Jasmine
threw
the
ball
of
magical
energy
toward
the
tree,
severing
one
of
the
coconuts
from
it’s
single
connection
to
the
tree
.
The
coconut
landed
in
a
bush
with
a
whirl
of
leaves
and
a
thud
.
The
impact
scattered
two
multicolored
birds
and
a
lizard
.
The
two
strange
yet
elegant
birds
voiced
their
displeasure
with
loud
unusual
cries
as
they
flapped
their
wings
to
safety
.
The
lizard
only
stuck
out
his
tongue
at
the
newcomer
and
stalked
off
.
She
reached
into
the
bush,
picked
up
the
coconut,
and
found
a
fallen
log
in
the
sand
to
sit
against
.
She
drew
another
tiny
bit
of
mana
and
this
time
focused
it
at
the
tip
of
her
finger
.
Placing
the
finger
against
the
coconut’s
shell,
it
acted
like
a
drill,
boring
a
hole
into
it
.
Once
the
mana
pushed
through,
Jasmine
was
able
to
drink
her
fill
of
the
milk
inside
the
coconut
.
