Briny then said, "We're going to the beach?"
And Gen said, "Yes, come with me.", and then he left the cabin, and Briny followed behind with Lina.
As they left, Briny looked at the direction the boat was going and said, "It's true! We really are going to the beach."
She then said, "Lina! Go to the altar. We need to try to get out of the current."
Lina then went in, touched the altar, and then the boat began to turn and started to head north.
After the boat finished turning, Briny looked outside and said, "Damn! We are still heading for shore!"
Gen then said, "The way it is, we are going against the current. We need to go to the sides."
Gen then went into the cabin and said, "It's not working, Lina. Let me put my hand on the altar."
And Lina said, "Okay."
She then took her hand away, and Gen put his hand on the altar, which began to glow white. The boat then started to turn west, and after it finished turning, you could see that although it was still heading for shore, it was also heading west.
Briny then said, "It's working."
The boat then continued to head west for a while longer until, at one point, it stopped going towards the beach.
Raja's mark then began to glow, and he said, "My mark is glowing. We got out of the current."
And Briny said, "Good.", and then she went towards the cabin and said, "We got out of the current."
Gen then said, "Good.", and then he took his hand off the altar and went out of the cabin with Briny.
Gen then looked around and said, "We are closer to the beach than when we started the event. What do we do now?"
And Briny said, "Our only option is to use our marks to get the boat out to sea."
Raja then said, "We can do that?"
And Briny said, "Yes, we can."
"Then why don't we avoid the currents and go to the water temple that way?"
"This is an option, but it will take us a few days to get there."
"Is it that slow?"
"It's not that slow if there's no interference, but in the middle of the way, there are many currents that are there just to get in the way of the boat, and without a current to pull us forward, we'll end up being carried by these other currents."
"Got it."
Gen then said, "Well, let's go out to sea at once."
Briny then said, "We need to go north. So it needs to be you, Lina."
And Lina said, "I got it.", and then went to the cabin and activated the altar.
The boat then started to head north, and looking out, Raja said, "You're right, Briny. It's really slow this way."
And Briny said, "Yeah. We could try to get there without a current, but that's the last resort."
"Okay. That's fine."
The boat had been going north for a while, and they still had yet to reach the halfway point from where they had started.
Gen then said, "We can't go on like this. Let's go into a current."
And Briny said, "I agree."
Gen then said, "My mark is glowing. How about we head west?"
And Raja said, "Mine is glowing too. How about-", but was cut off by Gen, who said, "No. We just came out of a stream to the east. If it's the same one we were in, we'll waste more time."
And Raja said, "That's right. We'd better go west this time."
"Yeah. I'll change the boat's direction to that."
Gen then went towards the cabin and switched places with Lina. The boat then turned west and started heading that way. Some time then passed, and Gen's mark stopped glowing. He then took his hand off the pillar, and the boat gave a little shudder, indicating that it had entered the current.
Gen then went outside the cabin and said, "My mark has stopped glowing. How is this current?"
And Raja said, "It is going east."
Gen then said, "Well, we are not going backward, so that is a start."
"That is true."
Briny then said, "That is normal. The current usually makes several turns before it reaches the water temple. We just have to wait."
And Gen said, "Got it."
Some time passed, and the boat started to head towards the water temple.
Briny then said, "See, it changed direction."
And Gen said, "Good. Looks like we are in the right current this time."
Lina then said, "My mark has started to glow.", and held up her arm, showing the mark.
Gen then said, "What now, Briny? What do we do? The boat is heading north. We're going to run into another current."
And Briny said, "Don't worry, Gen. The most this other current will do is take us out of the current we're in, and if that happens, we just need to steer the boat back into it."
"Got it. Looks like I worried too much."
The boat then continued to head north, and at one point, it began to shake.
Briny then said, "It looks like we have reached the other current."
The boat then started to go a little to the left, and then Raja's mark started to glow, and he said, "My mark has started to glow."
Briny then said, "Run to the cabin and move the boat until it stops glowing."
Raja then went towards the cabin and touched the altar, making the boat go towards the east.
Some time passed, and the boat shook again.
Raja then came out of the cabin and said, "Done. My mark has stopped glowing, so I guess we're back in the current."
And Briny said, "Yes. We're-", but was interrupted as the boat suddenly started going faster than before, and it made them almost fall to the ground due to the sudden increase in speed.
Gen then said, "What was that? Why did the boat start going faster out of nowhere?"
And Briny said, "I don't know. I've never seen it happen before."
Lina then said, "Maybe we got into another current."
And Gen said, "I don't think so. The other current wasn't that strong."
Raja then said, "Maybe we're in both currents."
Gen then said, "That makes sense. Is that possible to happen, Briny?"
And Briny said, "Well, it is possible. It even happens in every event, but when it does, it's always like it just happened to us. One of them wins and takes the boat away from the other. I have never seen a boat traveling in two different currents."
Gen then said, "Well, you have also never seen a group with four marks and not even a boat like this, and yet here we are."
And Briny said, "You are right."
Raja then said, "Whatever it is, it is good for us. The boat isn't going straight to the temple, but it's at least getting us closer than before."
And Gen said, "That's true."
Some time passed, and Raja said, "My mark started to glow. Are we going to do something?"
And Gen said, "Better not. We are moving forward. Let's stay in this current."
And Raja said, "Okay, but at some point, we will meet up with it. The boat is going diagonally to it."
Gen then said, "What do you think, Briny? Should we move?"
And Briny said, "No need. At the speed we are going, this other current won't be able to take us out of the one we are in."
And Gen said, "Okay."
After a while, the boat started shaking, and Briny said, "We have reached the other current."
The boat continued shaking for a while until it stopped shaking and lost a little speed.
Raja then said, "We are slowing down."
And Gen said, "My mark started to glow. The new current must have taken us out of one of the currents."
Lina then said, "My mark also started to glow."
Gen then said, "What do we do now, Briny?"
And Briny said, "I don't know. There's no way of knowing which of these two was the other current that was carrying us."
Gen then said, "Damn, if it kept going like this, we would reach the temple soon."
Raja then said, "Why don't we try to go towards one of the two?"
And Gen said, "I don't know if it's worth it. Even though it's not that fast, we're still in a current that's moving forward."
Raja then said, "That's right. We'd better not risk it."
Raja then looked at the sea around and then said, "Guys."
And Gen said, "What is it?"
Briny and Lina then looked at Raja, and he said, "Is it just me, or are we going backward?"
