Sophie quickened her pace, her exhaustion momentarily forgotten as she closed the remaining distance between them. "Emma! I can't believe I found you all here," she called out, her voice echoing with a mixture of relief and exhilaration.
The group gathered around Sophie, their faces aglow with curiosity and anticipation. "How did you get here?" Zoey asked, her eyes wide with wonder.
Sophie paused, catching her breath as she recounted the surreal events that had led her to this unexpected encounter. "I was trapped on the other side of the cracked island," she explained, gesturing towards the distant horizon. "I thought I was stranded, but then the land started moving towards the pyramid, and here I am."
The others exchanged incredulous glances, their minds racing to grasp the implications of Sophie's account. "That's incredible," Grace remarked, her voice filled with awe. "The island must be more mysterious than we ever imagined."
