Mitsuki watched as the crew carried on with their chores. She didn't even know how to do anything. Slowly, she turned around and sighed. The sun was low now, and cast a rich, golden veil of clouds across the sky. The water rippled gently with little golden edges, and small fish weaved through the water. The ship had been anchored to and island they had found a few hours ago. Then, she heard a voice shouting from behind. The tall man who had picked her up was standing on the bow of the ship. Tatsuo looked slightly worried, as he let go of the man's leg with his tail. She walked closer, wondering what happened. Some of the main crew gathered around, and the man began to speak: "The Captain wanted me to let you know that he has left the ship to....bring a couple new crew members aboard, so I will now take charge of the ship," then he walked away casually.
'That was fast,' thought Mitsuki,"Wait a minute....aren't Lurin and Toruko missing too? That's odd..." Then Tatsuo came sprinting towards her. He looked as if he were about to burst out crying, and his jaw was shaking. Then he came to a stop in front of her.
"Get ready," he looked her dead in the eyes and stayed like that for a second. Then he just turned back and walked away.
"Get ready for what? Tatsuo? Hello! For what? Tatsuo! Can you hear me?" Shouted Mitsuki across the ship, panicking. The whole crew turned to look at her. They all exchanged glances which said,"Is she crazy?"
Then she remembered. "Land. We're on land. That means I have to tell Rumi! But I'm not the one who can do like telepathy and stuff! How am I gonna tell her?" She thought.

It was near midnight. Her and the crew were sitting on boxes and barrels, chatting or probably playing card games. A lantern glowed next to her on the barrel. Two people were playing around with some magic, quite a dangerous thing to do. But this magic was light and soft. A small, bright spark shot from one of their fingers. Then they looked at each other with gleaming eyes and started laughing. She sighed, and got up off her small, dusty crate. With her hand, she scratched the back of her tangled hair and yawned. But then there was a noise. She didn't notice it at first, but wonered why all the crew had stopped immediately and stood up straight in a line.
"Hmm?" Mitsuki shrugged and headed over to see what had happened. Even the tall man with ears had lined up. Then something, or someone went up the ladder. A familiar red feather stuck up. Then a hat, then a head. Plague. He was here. Now she understood. Somebody pulled her buly the hood of her red hoodie, and dragged her suddenly in line. She struggled a bit, but the he saw her. From unnder his hat, Plague gave her a menacing glance. But it wasn't only him. He was grasping a rope tied around two bodies. The slouched over helplessly. Could they be? Mitsuki stood in shock. Then she realised who they were.
