4 Theo's Island

Baskia: "Come on hurry up we need to get off the boat."

Theo: "Stop who are you guys!"

Raion: "What is this?!"

Theo: "You? You're a Shadow?!"

Raion: "Ah I'm just.."

Baskia: "He's not a shadow, he's just a normal boy."

Theo: "How could I have thou he was a shadow my apologies. Now again who are the two of you?"

Baskia: "My name is Baskia and this is my friend Raion. We were heading towards the mountains. Our boat got caught in the storm."

Raion: "Yeah we hit a rock! We lost Fourth! Tell me how do we get him back!?"

Baskia: "Fourth our friend he got pulled into the water."

Theo: " Calm down, just calm down. Let's just figure this out. How far offshore did your friend get dragged in?"

Baskia: "Like ten meters out."

Raion: "Yeah he mentioned someone grabbing his shoulders, we are too occupied with everything else. We should have been there for him baskia! It's our fault."

Baskia: "Raion its none of our faults. We couldn't have predicted this would happen. We will find him."

Theo: "Your friend is right. If he got pulled in it means that there's something or someone down there."

Raion: "But how you know what those waters can do to you!"

Theo: "I know these waters better than anyone. I've seen the things it can do. I witnessed first hand one of my shipmates fell overboard and instantly he turned to dust."

Baskia: "How long ago was this?"

Theo: "Two years ago."

Baskia: "I'm sorry for your lost."

Raion; "So am I."

Theo; "That is in the past, I have mourned him well. We must search for your friend. But even if he managed to survive, we still cannot go out there. We will need to wait till morning when it's cleared out."

Raion: "Will he be alright baskia?"

Baskia: "It's Fourth, he will be fine."

They all headed more inland.

Theo: "This is my home. Please make yourself at home. Don't mind the people, we haven't had much visitors around."

Baskia: "It's alright we're quite used to big crowds aren't we Raion?"

Raion is staring down a banana cream pie

Baskia: "Raion? Are you listening?"

Raion: "Yeah huh people… home."

Baskia: "Please forgive him he seems to be hungry for that pie."

Theo "I see I see, would he care to have a slice. It's the best pie around."

Baskia: "Are you sure we don't want to intrude our welcome."

Theo: "Nonsense I insist. Please."

Baskia turns around to tell Raion.

Baskia: "Raion you can go… well never mind it looks like he heard us."

Theo laughs out loud.

Baskia runs after Raion shouting "Don't you dare eat all that pie!"

In the distance, you can hear Raion yelling "Its not my fault you're slow!"

Baskia: "What did you just say to me?!"

Raion: "You heard me."

Raion turns his head around and then quickly turns it back. He ends up running into the 🍌 cream pie.

Raion: "What in the world! How did this happen?"

Theo eventually catches up with the two.

Theo: "It appears that you ran right into the pie."

Baskia: "Why Raion why."

Raion: "I mean it taste delicious and want to know something else Baskia?"

Baskia: "And what may that be?"

Raion: "You didn't get to have any."

Baskia runs over to Raion and pushes the pie more in his face.

Baskia: "You want to say that again?!"

Raion: "No! I'm done!"

Theo: "Excuse me? But it seems like you two have made quite the crowd."

Baskia and Raion both slowly look up and see a bunch of people surrounding them. Some are in shock while others are laughing

Little boy: "Who are these strange people?"

Raion: "Strange? Who are you calling strange! Do you see what you look like?"

Baskia kicks Raion and gives him a look.

Baskia: "My apologies for my friend here. He's a little exhausted from the long trip we had."

Theo: "Let's head in and rest from a long day."

Raion and baskia followed behind

Theo: "Here we are, I hope everything is to your liking?"

Raion: "Well now that you mention it these sheets seem a tad rough."

Baskia slaps Raion on the head

Baskia: "What he meant to say is no thank you everything is perfect. Isn't that right Raion?"

Raion: "Yes sorry, it's perfect."

Theo: "Alright I'll leave it to you guys. We will find your friend at daybreak."

Theo leaves and shuts the door.

Raion: "Baskia what was that earlier?"

Baskia: "What was what?"

Raion: "When we got off the boat how did you convince Everyone here that I'm not a shadow? Theo, he seemed to realize than nothing."

Baskia: "Its nothing. Nothing to be discussed right now. Let's focus on rescuing Fourth."

Raion: "No, you both always tell me, save it for another time. This is happening now. How did you convince them?"

Baskia: "Raion not now I said!"

Raion: "If not now, then when?!"

Baskia sits at the edge of the bed "Okay I'll tell you but it's just between the two of us or I'll have to turn you into the High guards of Skala. Where they brutally torture you day in and day out, bringing in skin biters to gnaw away at your flesh. Until there's nothing left but bones. Of course, after we get you back to normal."

Raion laughs out loud "You're really funny Baskia"

Baskia: "I'm serious."

Raion sits quietly and stares at Baskia

Baskia: "Alright the reason that Theo and everyone else doesn't realize you're a shadow is because I implanted it in their minds to see you as normal."

Raion: "How though?"

Baskia: "Just as you have your ability I have mine. Mine though is only one around. I'm part of The five, a group of people sworn to protect the rock of Angfel."

Raion:"Then why are you hear for?

Baskia: . "To answer your question I'm going to see Wen just like Fourth and yourself. I had no means of how I would find her until I met the both of you."

Raion: "Why didn't you tell us that in the first place?"

Baskia: "High guard's of Skala remember."

Raion: "Oh yeah, oh Baskia last thing. How come your ability didn't work on me this time around? It's the same thing happened with Fourth when he tried to turn me back. His ability didn't work on me."

Baskia lays down on the bed and shuts the lights off. "That I am not sure about."

Raion and Baskia both fall asleep
