"Long lost words whisper slowly to me…"

They had all agreed. To build a raft and find other worlds. That was the plan.
Working together, day by day, the raft came together. But as the summer went on, things for Ebsolon had become harder to deal with.
She was becoming more fatigued, loosing sleep from realistic nightmares that had awaken her, and the horrible gut feeling that something was going to happen.
She however, pretended like nothing was the matter, and that she was okay. Though, as the days progressed, her signs of fatigue grew more obvious.
Dark circles formed under her eyes, and she became more groggy with the apparent lack of sleep, drowsy spells hit her more often.
These nightmares she were having became more frequent and more realistic as the raft neared completion.
They involved destruction of her home, and here, the Destiny Islands as well. Dark creatures, and shadowy figures.
Ebsolon wasn't sure if she should be worried or what, considering that only seers were supposed to get sights, not a 15 year old Felina orphan who was stranded for the time being on a human world.
"Ebsolon." Kairi shook Ebsolons shoulder, awakening her from her short slumber.
Ebsolon looked up from the side and stretched, "Mmm, I'm awake." She mumbled.
"Are you alright? You've been getting worse, Are you sick?" She frowned, clutching large paper to her chest.
Ebsolon stood and crossed her arms, "No, no." She laughed, "I'm not sick."
"Then what's wrong?" Kairi pressed on.
"I'm… I'm just tired that's all." Ebsolon faked a small smile, "I haven't been able to sleep very well these past few nights, but I assure you, I'll be fine."
"Eb, you shouldn't push yourself." Kairi furrowed her brow, "You should go back home and sleep, I don't want you getting hurt here while we're finishing up the raft. Just a couple more days and then we can sail off!" She turned to the ocean and smiled, "We can find out where we came from finally Eb!" She looked down at the sand and then back at Ebsolon, "We'll finally find out home!"
Ebsolon nodded, "That is the entire point of this trip." She agreed, "It'll be good to see home again…"
Kairi smiled, which in turn caused Ebsolon to smile back.
"Ah, well, come on! We have to find Sora! It's his turn to get the last of the stuff we need anyway…" Kairi turned and began walking along the shore.
Ebsolon yawned and threw her arms back, "I can't believe he hasn't already done his part. Honestly, he's just doing this on purpose to piss everyone off."
"Ebsolon!" Kairi looked back at her, grinning.
"What?" Ebsolon laughed, crossing her arms, following Kairi from a short distance away, "You know it's true!"
"Here, hold this while I wake him up." Kairi gave Ebsolon the large sheets of paper and walked up to Sora, who was happily sleeping in the sand.
As Kairi approached, he launched forward and sighed. Yawning, he fell back. Kairi then leaned over him and smiled.
"Ahh!" He shouted, jumping forward again.
Both Kairi and Ebsolon laughed as she walked up.
"Give me a break you guys" he sighed, rubbing the back of his neck.
"Sora you lazy bum! I knew I'd find you snoozing down around here!" She laughed, taking back the papers from Ebsolon.
"N-No! You got it all wrong! This huge black thing swallowed me up!"
Ebsolon and Kairi exchanged glances.
"I couldn't breathe I couldn't-" Kairi smacked Sora in the back of the head, "Ow!"
She got down to his level, smiling, "Are you still dreaming?"
"It wasn't a dream!" He protested, watching Kairi with his eyes as she stood up. He then looked down, "Or was it? I don't know… What was that place?" He asked himself, "So bizarre."
Ebsolon rolled her eyes and crossed her arms, "And they think I don't get enough sleep." She thought to herself.
"Yeah sure." Kairi giggled.
"Say Kairi, what was your hometown like? You know, where you grew up?" Sora asked, changing the subject.
Ebsolon sighed and turned to the ocean, "Not this again." She frowned.
"I told you before, I don't remember." Kairi shook her head, politely.
"Nothing at all?"
"Nothing." She shrugged her shoulders.
"You… ever want to go back?" He asked in a somewhat sad tone.
"Well… I'm happy here." She looked at Ebsolon and smiled.
Ebsolon grinned slightly and looked down at the sand.
"Really…?" he frowned.
"Of course!" Kairi turned to Sora, clasping her hands, "I love it here! But… I wouldn't mind to see it again… Just to see what it was like…" She walked slowly along the edge of the water.
"Me too!" Sora brightened up, "Along with any other world out there! I want to see 'em all!" He got to his knees.
"Then what're we waiting for?" Kairi turned, smiling.
"Hey, aren't you guys forgetting about me?" Riku walked up behind Ebsolon, carrying a large log over his shoulder.
A scowl on his face, he sighed, "So, I guess I'm the only one working on the raft." He walked up to Sora and threw the log onto him, walking up to Ebsolon and Kairi he crossed his arms, "And you two are just as lazy as he is."
Ebsolon averted her eyes and frowned, "Sorry." She muttered.
"Heh, so you've noticed? Alright, we'll finish it together! I'll race you!" She folded the papers and tucked them under the log.
"Huh?"
Riku, who had just sat down next to Sora looked up in disbelief, "What? Are you kidding." He waved an arm.
Ebsolon crossed her arms and looked at Kairi, "Why-?"
"Ready? Go!" She shouted.
Sora and Riku glanced at each other before bolting off from their spots. Ebsolon sighed and followed shortly behind them, while Kairi took up the rear.
After reaching the other side of the island, Riku wandered off to his usual spot while Ebsolon and Kairi approached him with his "duties"
"Alright Sora, here's your list of what you need to get." Kairi handed Sora a small slip of paper.
"If you need any help, just come back here, okay? We're counting on you." Kairi smiled.
Sora stared at the paper, then looked up, "Wait, if you guys know where this stuff is then why am I getting it?" he pouted.
"Because we've already gotten our stuff." Ebsolon sighed, leaning against the wall, sliding down to the ground, "That's your list. If you weren't sleeping when you should've been getting your supplies you could relax, but sine you were you have to get it now." Ebsolon brought her knees up to her chest and placed her arms on her legs.
"Oh…" Sora turned and wandered off.
"Good logic Eb!" Kairi smiled down at Ebsolon.
"Eh. Whatever." She waved her hand and rested her head on her arms.
Kairi sighed and sat down next to Ebsolon, pulling out the papers from before.

Later

After Sora returned with all of his items, the group of friends all decided to relax around the Paupu tree.
"So… Kairi and Ebsolons worlds are out there somewhere…" Sora asked, leaning forward, looking to Riku whose back was against the tree. Ebsolon to his left and Kairi to his right
"Could be." He said, looking down at the water, his arms crossed against his chest, "We'll never know by staying here."
Sora, who sat next to Kairi, propped his arms against his legs and rested his chin in his hands, "but how far could a raft take us?"
"Who knows. If we have to, we'll think of something else." Riku shrugged.
"So… Suppose you get to another world." Kairi giggled, "What would you do there?" She asked, smiling.
"I… Never really thought about it… It's just… I've always wondered, why we're here, on this island. If there are any other worlds out there, why did we end up on this one? And suppose there are other worlds out there… Then ours is just a little piece of something much greater. So… We could have just as easily ended up someplace else… Right?" He turned to Kairi and Sora.
"…I dunno." Sora leaned back against the branch of the tree.
"Exactly." Riku sighed, looking back down at the water, "That's why we've got to go out there and find out… Sitting here won't change a thing." He paused, "It's the
same old stuff." Moving from the tree he turned to the group, "So let's go."
The group was silent for a moment then, Kairi spoke up, "You've been thinking a lot lately... Haven't You?"
Riku smiled slightly, "Thanks to you… And Ebsolon." He glanced over at her, "If it weren't for you two, I wouldn't have never thought of any of this… Thanks."
"Heh, you're welcome!" Kairi smiled.
Ebsolon sighed and crossed her arms, "and Ebsolon?" She thought to herself, "Yeah right. Don't kid yourself. You and I both know I'm just a third wheel."
She looked up at the ocean, "I'll find my other friends soon enough though."

"Still can't find what keeps me here
When all this time I've been so hollow...inside…"
