Sera.

What’s your job here?
I’m the quartermaster and the ship’s smith. It’s my job to build the ark, and make sure she flies.

Do you really think your ship will fly?
Does it matter? Either we fly, and get off this island, or we die, and get off the island.
Both are paths I’m willing to walk.

I’m told Elder Tynne is your brother.
That’s right, sera. We came to this island together, when the Red Mountain bled.
Now, he’s always been a strange one. A prisoner to his visions. But we’re all a prisoner to something.
My cage is wanting to return home.

How did you come here?
I tried to escape the island and got lost in the fog. But because the Captain’s men had lit the signal forge, I was able to follow its light here.

Hellos

You did good work, sera, bringing us that wheel. Now it’s my turn.

 

You’ll find the ship’s wheel attached to the bow, sera. It’ll steer us back to the mainland.

 

Yes, sera?

 

What is it?

 

What do you need?
