Prologue

"Colin?"

"Katrin? Is that you?"

"I waited for hours and then searched all over for you! Where did you go?"

"Um… Kat… I'm back on the Lamico Continent."

"You LEFT me waiting for you on the cliff?!" Katrin actually screamed. "And I waited for…"

"You KILLED me!" Colin shot right back. "You kicked me right off the cliff and I {died}! There were rocks in that sea! Sharp rocks! I respawned back at my Home Base!"

"You… died…?" Katrin whispered now. "Oh… oh no! I actually killed you?"

"Kat, I'm in the middle of something. Just…"

"I'm sorry! I'm so, so, sorry! I didn't know there were rocks in the sea! I thought you'd come back soaking wet and I waited and waited and you never showed up, and I…"

"Katrin!" Colin barked. "Please! I'll call you back later, okay?"

Katrin flared up. "Why didn't you call me earlier, to tell me where you were?! Didn't you say you weren't going to leave me?!"

Colin cut the comms link.
