Chapter 17: The Ghost Ship

Altoz wakes up and sees that he's alone. There's no sign of Balazs.

Altoz opens the door leading to the deck and looks around. The ship is moving through the sea at high speed.

He's confused. Where did everybody go?

Altoz wanders the ship, looking for something familiar.

Finally, he spots a figure sitting in a corner of the deck.

He rushes over and kneels down next to the person.

"Hello?" he says. "Are you okay?"

The figure doesn't respond.

Altoz touches the person, and they jump.

"Whoa!" Altoz exclaims. "Easy there."

The person turns around.

"Oh, it's you," Altoz says. "It's me! I was hoping it would be you."

The figure doesn't say anything.

"What's wrong?" Altoz asks. "Do you remember me? Because I remember you."
