Chapter 3 - Dusty Waters

Raion: "Baskia, do you remember that time when Fourth and you missed the boat the last time and you nearly tried running after it"

Fourth: "Ha-ha yes lucky for the two of us I caught his hand before he slipped. Otherwise, we would have been turned to dust!"

They all continued to laugh and discuss old times.

Baskia: "So Raion, a question for you."

Raion: "Yes what is it?"

Baskia: "What do you plan on doing if Wen can't turn you back to normal?"

Raion: "Wait what do you mean she won't be able to? Fourth you said she could turn me back."

Fourth: "I did. And yes she can turn you back, she's the all sights."

Baskia: "In my time it's never a good thing to trust the all sight. "

Raion: "What to do you mean your time? You make it sound like you're older than you appear. Ha-ha"

Baskia "No I'm just saying that trusting people is a lot of work to do. I personally trust no one."

Fourth: "Not even your own friends?"

Baskia: "Friends what are those?"

Raion: "I'm still worried about Wen not turning me back?!"

Fourth: " She will be able to trust me we're friends."

Raion and Fourth smiled at one another when out of nowhere they hit a huge rock.

Fourth stumbles backward "Everyone hold on to something. We hit a rock!"

Baskia: "There's nothing to hold on to!"

Raion: "For once I agree with him!"

Fourth: "Then brace yourselves, this is about to get bumpy!"

Everyone holds on.

Rain starts pouring down and waves start crashing over the boat

Raion: 'I can't die! I can't die like this to guys!! I don't want to turn into dust. I'm already a shadow!! Do something Fourth."

Fourth: "There's not much I can do Raion! I can't control the weather! Just keep holding on!"

Baskia: "Guys stop your bickering! Raion can you see any form of land, Fourth you too!"

Raion: "I don't see anything on my end here!"

Baskia: "Fourth what about you?"

Waves kept getting louder

Fourth: "I think I see something in the distance!"

Baskia: "Its better than nothing. Raion grab the sails steer it towards that direction"

Raion grab the sails and starts heading towards the land!

Fourth: " I felt something touch my shoulders? Raion did you?"

Raion: "No how could I? I'm over here."

Fourth: "Yeah you're right, then Baskia it must have been you"

Baskia: "It wasn't me Fourth."

Fourth: "Then what grab….!"

Raion: "Fourth what did you say? Fourth! Fourth where'd you go Fourth! Baskia, Fourth he's gone!"

Baskia: "How where did he go? If he is down there.."

Raion: "Don't say it! He's still alive, you heard what he said something touched him. He got pulled in!"

Baskia: "But nothing can survive down there in that water!"

Raion: "Apparently something can."

Baskoa and Raion look down at the black water.

Baskia and Raion: "But what?"

Baskia: "We don't have time to figure out what right now! We have to get to the shore before we get dragged in! No sense in both of us getting lost."

Raion: "You're right once we get to the land we can figure out how to rescue Fourth than!"

Raion and baskia headed towards the shore a few minutes later they reached it. Little to their surprise there were other people there to greet them.
