Jasper awoke at the bottom of the sea, this time unbound. And alone.
She sat up the best she could on the uneven sand, observing her surroundings. She seemed to be in a trench, but as her memories resurfaced she realized that she must be in the split in the island. She hadn't sunk as deep as she should've, landing on a ledge jutting from the side of the misplaced chunk of Earth.
