Across the Island, Early Sunday Morning
Okay, so Screaming Sun Earth had been a mistake. Forty hours. Fandom had managed to hold on for forty hours, but enough was enough.
The island didn't think anyone on it would mind that it blinked away in the early hours of the morning and reappeared somewhere else. Somewhere very different.
It appeared in the sand just off a large cave. As soon as it buried its earthly bits in the desert, a small metal pole slid up out of the castle's roof. It moved up until it hit the invisible dome of oxygen around the island, and immediately spread to cover it, forming a large parasol that stretched over most of the island (bar the beach) and kept the scorching suns from causing nasty burns on anyone lingering outside too long. It cast a not-particularly-dark shadow across the streets.
... and it was a good thing it wasn't any darker, because in the caves nearby, beasts were stirring.
Maybe the island should've put up a sign warning people to avoid those caves, come to think. Oh well.
