All of a sudden, the ground beneath them rumbles angrily, and the group starts to spin, as a whirlpool in the center forms. They all yell and scream, but that did them no good, and they were met with darkness as they were pulled to the button of the whirlpool. Tsirina wakes up alone on, sand? She panics, but keeps her composure she ventures into the island behind her, cast - ashore. She was able to build a small shed and a fire, when she opens her eyes to a blue figure, towering over her. She screams, rolling over. The blue figure had stabbed a dagger into the ground, it's yellow eyes piercing into hers. Tsirina is met with a fight, she grabs a stone from the ground, taking position to attack.

"You are too hard on them, Jake. They only want to make us proud." She crouches, placing a hand on his thigh. Jake looks up at her and she sees his eyes watering.
Leaning in to wrap her arms around his shoulders, Jake discards the weapon, letting it fall with a clunk as he buries his face into Tanhì's neck.

"I understand but they are only children, Nì'eveng. They will make mistakes." Jake pulls back, hands droping to her skimmed knees as he swallows thickly.
"Kiri already took care of them."
"I'm okay with mistakes, baby. Just not ones that'll cost them their lives." She softly hits him on his head, grabbing a cloth to clean off his war paint, wincing when his fingers brush over her injuries.
