Maximus arrived at the Sunburnt Plateau one month later, aboard a black flying boat. The reason it's called a plateau instead of an island is that it is a relatively high ground that the seawater cannot reach.

In the top deck garden of the ship, Griffin spoke up. "Can I talk now?" "Alright," Maximus finally gave Griffin a chance, taking pity on him.
