As they were finishing their dinner, there was a loud noise and the ship shook hard as if they had hit something. “What was that?” Erik wondered loudly as he ran out. The young boy followed him. It was already dark outside but there was enough moonlight to see that they had hit the shores of an island. “That is strange,” said Erik, “there should not be an island here according to my map.” The boy remained silent. It was a small island with a few palm trees and a large rock formation with a cave in the middle. The island felt like it had a strange, eerie atmosphere, giving both Erik and the boy chilling feelings. Then the boy noticed a woman coming out of the cave. “Look,” he shouted, “There is a woman!” Erik saw her now too; she was walking towards them, looking confused. “Where am I?” she asked. “On a small island, who are you and why are you here?” Asked Erik. “My name is Ella, I was exploring an old abandoned mansion when I found a hidden staircase behind a secret door that led me here. Then the staircase disappeared behind me. I freaked out and screamed when it happened. Now I don't know what to do.” “That is quite a story, Ella,” Erik replied, “It is hard to believe, but this whole island was not supposed to be here in the first place and feels like an unnatural place. Not sure how I can help other than let you come with us on the ship. I am Erik by the way, and the boy is called Tom.” Ella remained quiet for a few moments, thinking, then she agreed to join them on the ship. As she came aboard, the entire island vanished as if it was an illusion.

After traveling with Jannay for a few days toward the rising sun, we discovered another human settlement. The people there welcomed us warmly, offering us a decent meal and an old, abandoned hut to rest in. We were both exhausted and gladly accepted their hospitality. For the first time in several nights, we both enjoyed a peaceful sleep. It was comforting to be among friendly humans again.

The next morning, I woke up early but let Jannay sleep; she needed the rest. I went to visit the elder chief woman of the settlement, who was in charge. We had a conversation, and she asked about our background. I told her that bandits had destroyed my home and I had been traveling alone for a while until I found Jannay in the rubble of a devastated settlement.

This was a lie, of course, as I thought it best not to reveal that I was a thief who was supposed to be dead. As for the whole giant snake incident, they were better off not knowing. It was terrifying, and I wasn't sure if they would have believed me anyway.

The elder chief woman told me we were welcome to stay as long as we wished and that they would be happy for us to become permanent members of the settlement. And so we did. I raised Jannay as my daughter, and the days turned into years as Jannay grew older while I remained the same.

In the vastness of all things, our existence may seem insignificant. The universe is immense and never-ending, while we are small in comparison. However, it's crucial to recognize that we play a vital role within this boundless expanse. Our presence contributes to the seamless functioning of the cosmos. We should not fear the endlessness of the universe but instead take pride in being part of this vast and interconnected whole. As you gaze at the night sky, marveling at the stars, remember that we are all one with the cosmos.

From the book Philosophies of the universe. Written during the final age of enlightenment.

After finishing his tea, the young boy fell asleep. He must have been exhausted, Erik thought, as he returned to the deck of the ship. The sky was now blue and sunny, the sea had calmed down and was crystal clear. He continued sailing north.

As he scanned the sea, Erik noticed black ooze-like stains in the water again. He wondered what they could be. Over time, the stains became more frequent and seemed to be growing in size.

Hours passed, and the sun began to set. Finally, the boy awoke and came up to the deck.

“Hi, how are you?” Erik asked.

“My head hurts, and I am hungry,” the boy replied.

“Alright, I have fish soup in the cooking pot if you want.”

“Sounds good, but can I trust you? I don't know you or where I am.”

“Well, I saved your life; you were drowning. Besides, you have no other choice. We're in the middle of the ocean, and if my calculations are correct, we're days away from dry land.”

“I guess that's true. Okay, then I would really appreciate some fish soup.”

“Alright, let me heat it for you.”

Erik went into the small kitchen of his boat and lit the fire under the pot. Afterward, they both sat down to have dinner.

The battle with the snake, was my first encounter with a monster. At the time, I just thought monsters were just another part of this strange world to me. It wasn't until later that I realized these creatures did not belong and it was up to me to eliminate them. After defeating the serpent, I found Jannay nearby, mourning her family who had been killed by the beast. I felt terrible for her loss but didn't know how to help her cope with such a tragedy. She clung onto me, fearing she would be alone again.

I embraced her and promised that I wouldn't leave her side. Deep down, I decided to take Jannay along with me on my journey, even though I had no idea where we were heading. We spent the night in the same cave I stayed at before, and she slept safely in my arms until morning came.

The next day, I ventured out to find food for us. Being unskilled in hunting, I gathered some fruit instead. After our meal, I made the decision that we should travel eastward.

Without delay, Erik lowered a rope into the sea and then leaped in himself. He swam towards the boy and assisted him by pulling him toward their ship. Climbing up the rope together, Erik noticed an unusual black ooze in the water but was unsure of its nature. The young boy was chilled to his bones, so Erik provided him with some warm blankets for comfort. Afterward, he went on to prepare a steaming cup of tea for both of them to enjoy and help ease their discomfort from the cold ocean waters.
