Light. Darkness. More Light. A stranger was fighting crawling creatures with an oversized key. Darkness again. I was falling, falling. Somebody else – this one bathed in darkness. Fighting someone else. Light flashes. A monster stands, huge, overpowering all else. It looks at me. My blood runs cold.

I awoke, cold sweat coating my body. It was just a dream, I think to myself. Just the same, recurring dream. I stood, taking in my surroundings. Same hand-made bed, same small wooden room as before. Light was streaming in the window, along with the sounds of a new day. Leaving my one-room self-made hut, I found that it was all the same – as it always will be. Same trees, same sand, same ocean, same ceaseless horizon, just as it was the first day, when I woke without memory, without reason, without companion. I was the sole inhabitant of my island, apart from the birds. And so, I decided to call it Enri's Island, for, after thought about myself, I decided to call myself Enri. As to why, I had as much reason as to why I awoke one bright day to find myself on this island.

I set about with my daily chores – except that they weren't so much chores, for I needed to do them or I would die – beginning with the cooking of my breakfast. All I had to eat were the fish I had caught the previous day and berries that I had found across my island, so my options were few: fish, berries, or fish with berries. I decided for the latter.

Breakfast was done quickly, for I had overslept, and was off schedule. The sooner I had my jobs done, the sooner I could have free time. I checked my fish traps I had set out the night before, restocked my berry supplies, and was soon ready to eat lunch. For lunch, I usually stayed with just the berries, since by noon I was usually on the other side of the island, which was a considerable distance from my home. Luckily, by then I was all caught up on my schedule, so I had my free time as soon as I finished my small meal.

For my free time, I usually just sat and thought, since I had already found all of the nooks and crannies of my island. However, I was unusually restless today. There has to be more out there, I thought to myself. More than this little island, all alone at sea. I wonder if I could leave this island… but how? Not by raft, it would be too risky. After all, I don't want to die in the process of going… but what other options do I have? None. Should I go? Thoughts such as this milled about in my mind for the rest of the day. Soon, night was falling. As I was walking back to my hut, I grew tired.

I awoke on the beach. The dream had visited me again last night, but this time it was longer. I recalled seeing an island, not much different from mine, albeit it was smaller. There were people on it, friends… why couldn't I have any friends with me on my island?

Because I had a large catch and a lot of luck finding berries the day before, I had the entire day with nothing to do except eat, so I decided to do a bit of exploring, to see if by some off chance I could find some cave I had not yet found.

I searched for well into the day, exploring old caves, searching in tunnels, checking under rocks, until at long last, I actually found one. It was small, and fairly uninteresting, save an odd door at the end that was lacking a doorknob, along with any other ways of opening it. Odd, I thought, pushing it, without making a single budge. I've never heard of a door that doesn't open – though then again, there are probably a lot of things I haven't heard about. My attempts to open the strange door coming to no avail, I began to leave, thinking that it must be getting pretty dark out, when a creaking noise came to my ears. It must be the door! Quickly spinning around, I found that nothing had changed about the door. More than slightly disappointed, I left.

Sure enough, when I came out of the cave, the sky had already filled with stars. However late it was, I found that I wasn't tired, even though I would normally be asleep by this time. Maybe it was the discovery of the door, or dislike of my dreams, I could not tell, but even when I returned to my hut and lay down on my bed, eyes closed, I found that sleep would not come. Oh well, guess I'd better not waste this time, I thought, so decide to sit by the surf and watch the stars.

I'd never been up this late before, so I never knew that there were so many of them. I noticed that they formed many patterns – dragons, bears, people – but one stood out above the others. It was of three people, one of whom I saw in my dreams. Maybe they are real. A blue flash streaked across the sky, a beautiful phenomenon I had never witnessed before. A shooting star! Behind its streak, the stars dimmed for a period, and then returned to their original brilliance. That's odd, I thought, why would they dim? Maybe it's just because the shooting star was so bright. Another shooting star – or perhaps the same one? – streaked across the sky, again followed by the cloud of darkness. I stood. The star flew overhead once more, but this time stopped halfway. The darkness surrounded it, but was quickly dispersed by a wave of light. What was that? Did the star just destroy the darkness? My thoughts were soon interrupted when the star suddenly shot straight down, colliding with the water and creating a huge splash. I rushed up to the spot, only to find it empty. "Nothing? What was the star, then?" I wondered aloud. I waited for a minute, and when nothing surfaced, I left. I must be seeing things. A sudden rushing noise caught my ears. Spinning around, I saw a pillar of darkness descending from the sky, rushing straight at me. Fleeing the spot, I looked back to see it wasn't just one form, but many, many creatures, the ones from my dream, all gathered in the masses to form this strange pillar of darkness, all of their glowing eyes peering out from the gloom.
