Destined Meeting of Maelstrom, Charred Earth, and Bullets!

It was a pleasant day for the inhabitants of the Port of Nome in the isle; the sun was warmly radiating through the afternoon sky, and there was a subtle breeze that cooled the senses of those who felt it. One such person was Atsuko Phila, who was visiting the island to broaden her experiences and try to understand her brother to a greater degree. She had only landed on the island just yesterday, and was attempting to devise a schedule to perform. As she contemplated how she would go about doing such a thing, she unknowingly and unwittingly accidently bumped into a black-suited man wearing a hat, causing her to fall to the ground.
