"Wheeee!" Alika giggled as she ran circles around the Class Teacher. A group of adults followed them, acting as a safety net as the ten children accompanied their Class Teacher to the edge of the island, entering the root platform region.
"Don't go anywhere near the potholes." The Class Teacher said, warning everyone, "It's dangerous if you fall into them."
"But, I can swim, teacher." Alika raised her hand, saying in response.
"Despite that, it's risky." The Class Teacher said, bringing them to the edge of the root platform, pointing them towards a treehouse that was built atop a sturdy tree that had grown in recent times. "Come up!"
As everyone climbed the flight of stairs leading towards the treehouse, Hazen followed them the last, climbing up slowly as the scene of the grand ocean came into view, its waves highlighted by the sun's glimmer.
