Victor woke up frantically. He quickly looked around him and noticed that he was sitting on the rocks. As he calmed himself down, he could hear the soft sound of the sea and the impact of the waves hitting the rocks. He continued sitting there for a while, listening to the ocean. It was so relaxing...
All of a sudden, the relaxation was interrupted by a casual Irish accent.
"Oh, you're awake."
Victor looked around him, confused. He then noticed a man fishing, watching the rod at all times.
"Ummmmm yeah," Victor replied, thinking of what to say. Even though he had so many questions, he was still speechless. Then it hit him.
"Are you the fisherman that found me in that cave?"
The fisherman laughed. "Yeah, I am."
"Thank you...", Victor said softly. "If it weren't for you, I would've probably been presumed dead... Or maybe even be dead."
For the first time, the fisherman glanced at Victor with his green and golden-yellow eyes. When their eyes met, there was some kind of feeling that Victor knew him somehow. Maybe he'd met him before.
"No problem," the fisherman said contently. "Ya are important after all..."
He glanced at Victor and smiled.
Ummmm, okay?... Victor thought. Weird...
Confused, Victor told himself that it's probably just a coincidence that his mom also said that...
After processing everything that happened in the cave until now, Victor remembered, "Where's that thing that I found in the cave?"
"What thing?", the fisherman asked, before glancing at Victor and smiling.
"Come on, you know what I mean," Victor answered, annoyed. Surely he knows?
"Yes yes yes, I do," the fisherman admitted calmly.
After Victor waited for some time for the fisherman to tell him where, he started to get annoyed, "Now where is it?"
"If ya look to your right over there, you'll see a rock...", the fisherman instructed. "It's almost shaped like a foot."
"Ummmmm...", Victor said while concentrating on looking for this rock. He spotted a rock that looked like it was shaped like a foot, if you really have an open mind.
"What about it?"
"Look underneath it," the fisherman told Victor, still in that Irish accent of his.
Victor did as he was told and found it there. Happy, Victor turned around, ready to let go of the situation. But wait, there was one thing that Victor couldn't understand...
"Why would you want to hide it away like that?"
"It looks precious don't it?", the fisherman answered. "And of course ya wouldn't want something of yours to get stolen, would ya?"
"No... of course not," Victor replied quickly. "Thank you..."
After a long pause, Victor got up and said, "Well I'd better get going... My mom's probably worried sick, especially after what happened."
