Dolphin Island is a magical world that the young adventurer creates, that strangely reflects the adventures he will experience as an adult.

The Adventures of Mychal DalCassian documents a twenty-year journey in the life of a young man that learns how to navigate around the ugly challenges in life, in order to find the gems of beauty with people and nature. The story begins with a boy that charts a course aboard his raft on his secret pond; the course runs between two trees that he calls The Beast and The Beauty.

Along his journey he finds a reward that his island—and The Beauty, possess. It is something that will guide him on his life mission as an adult.
