#anostus

Getting around to posting the second pre-prepared entry.

Anostus is a small uninhabited (by humanoids) island near the border of Spain and Morocco, and has two rivers running through it - the Grief River and the Pleasure River. The rivers go through a forest each, that grow fruits taking the properties of the rivers.

Grief Trees rarely grow taller than two meters high, with blank trunks and white leaves. The fruit have visible similarities to apple’s, aside from being either black as ink or white as driven snow. If a Grief fruit is eaten, the person who ate it would spend the rest of life and grief and so die.

Pleasure Trees can grow to enormous sizes, and have streaks of bright colour in their white trunks, and black leaves. The fruits have visible similarities to strawberries aside from the fact that they grow on trees and comes in every colour of the rainbow, in all different shades. If a Pleasure fruit is eaten, the person who ate it would be freed from their desires, forget their loved ones, and then in a short time get younger and younger until they die as a baby.

To drink from the respective rivers would cause the same effect, condensed into an hour.

There are no other kinds of trees or fruits on the island, but massive amounts of Galaxy Flowers, Beautiful Mercy, Moly, and both Common and Poisonous Drakeflower grow in it’s grass.

Dragons live on the island, mainly the species who prefer isolation and can cover large distances easily to hunt, because very little fauna survives on this island, mainly being home to birds and a species of bear known as the Anostus bear. This bear is entirely grey scale, and lives on fish and seawater. It is also small, no taller than 150 centimeters when standing on their hind legs.
