Jay needed food he couldnt go on any longer he knew that he was never going to find an island out of no where so he began exploring before it got too dark. In the moonlight Jay saw a distant shadow shaped like a little mound or hill. Excited, Jay paddled as fast as he could as quickly as possible. His heart racing and beating so fast every paddle tiring him more and more it was so close.

"Only one more paddle" he told himself everytime his legs kicked the water.
His body knew it needed a rest but his heart and mind was determined to get to that island no matter how long it took him. "Come on Jay. Dont be weak. Be confident. Be strong. Its right there infront of you. This will pay off in the end. You can do this." Said a soft toned voice in his head. He recognised this voice but couldnt quite figure out who the voice belonged too.

Back in Jay's town Olegan people decided to start a search party. Eventually almost the full towns population was out on the streets with torches searching up and down the town for Jay yet nobody knew that he was stranded.

Meanwhile, Jay was still swimming he was in a fatal condition and he needed some sort of energy. He wasnt bothered whatever he had to eat or drink he would literally have anything! Jay was exhausted. Gradually his eyes began to slowly shut making Jay feel delerious. His eyes were shut tightly but he could see spirals and blocks of colour spread out as if they had been poured all over.

Jay was sleeping but dangerously he could end up drowning if he didnt wake up sooner or later. He was trying to bring back his vision from earlier so he could see who the person was and what they were doing. It worked but he wasnt trying hard enough it was a little less blurred and he could see a hand reaching out to him calling his name. He still couldnt make out if it was a girl or boy yet, he could only hear words.

This person's hand was getting closer and closer to Jay's face it was soft and made him feel warm but then he woke up within an instant because of a bright light. A burning light so illuminous in the blue sky. Jay moved the position of his head so he could look around him and see where he was.

He could stand up in the water for some reason but his mind was still messed up from not eating in one and a half days. Jay knew he had to look for some good resources first!
