When i first woke, i was in panic, not knowing where i was. It only took a few seconds, before the events of last night came flooding back and i frowned. i sat up and leaned my back against the cold wall, sending shivers down my spine and arms.

i raised a numb, chilly hand to my face, the coldness waking me up. i let my hand flop onto my lap and i sighed. Looking next to me, i caught sight of my sword, bits of dried blood smudged on the blade. i reached out for the handle and my fingers, curled, loosely around it.

i stood up steadily, the heavy sword dangling in my grasp. i walked, groggily, over to the elevator and stepped onto it. my friends must have brought it down last night before they left. i smiled at there kindness before, pulling then lever. The machinery made a cranking noise before it started moving upwards, making me jolt a little.

When i got to the top, i instantly felt better. The warm sun, meeting my pale, chilly skin, the gentle breeze brushing past my body, the light burnt orange and green grass, tickling my ankles, as it swayed back and forth, in sync with the wind. i sighed, raising my sword and sliding it, back into its case.

i walked over to the edge of the mountain and looked down at the ground beneath me. It had to of been, at least, a two-three hundred foot fall. i furrowed my eyebrows. How the hell was i going to get down there?

i rummaged through my pockets, trying to find something. "They should be in here somewhere... aha." i smiled and pulled out an ender pearl, threw it up in the air and caught it again. "Got ya."

i brought my attention back to the ground, two hundred blocks beneath me. i raised my hand with the ender pearl in it, my heart thumping in my chest. Even though i had used pearls before, it was still nerve-racking, but i  threw it anyway, taking a deep breath, aiming it at the ground.

i squeezed my eyes shut, bracing myself. A few seconds later i suddenly felt like i was floating. i felt lightheaded and nauseous, i hated that feeling, the feeling of just pure sickness. A short time later i could feel my feet hit solid ground and my nausea soon recovered. i sighed opening my eyes and relaxing. i looked above me and saw the mountain i was just standing at, only a few seconds ago.

'Made it' i smirked to yourself and crossed my arms over my chest, triumphant. i always felt happy and proud when i threw a pearl and it landed, correctly that is. i uncrossed your arms and looked around when i spotted the ocean, only a few feet away from me, so i walked over to it, looking around and hoping there was a boat waiting for me. And indeed, there was. It's was made from oak wood and looked like it has been used beforehand.

i stepped into, carefully, sat down and took the paddles, one in each hand. i used one of the paddles to push myself away from the sore. When i thought i was far enough, i started rowing the boat, when i realized i had no idea where i was going. i looked at my belt, spotting my map tucked into it. i pulled it out and unrolled it. It took a minute or two to, work out where i was and where home was, but i got it, eventually.

i positioned my map on the other bench, in front of me and placed my legs either side of it, stopping the map from rolling up or floating away. i rowed and rowed, taking a few glances at the map every now and then. i took some breaks as well, snacking on potatoes, stored away in your pockets. Yes, the potatoes were raw, but i was hungry, and it was the only thing edible that you had on me.

i spent the entire day, in the middle of the ocean, cruising away in my little boat. But it was peaceful, the sound of small waves, lapping each other and the dolphins and fish, swimming by. It took my mind off the fact that Dream was in prison and that it didn't have anything to worry about, yet. Just being away from everyone and everything was calming.

When i got home, the sun was setting, a mix of oranges and pinks, blending together in the sky. i hopped out of the boat and stretched my arms, groaning. i had been in a boat all day and it was tiring. i decided just to take a walk, along the beach i was at, to stretch my legs.

"Hey, she over here guys!"
