The waves surged around the side of the boat and I felt my body lunge backwards. The wind swept my brown hair back and I had to use my hand to brush it back. I could hear Scar giving out orders somewhere behind me. "Are you OK?" a voice asked behind me. I was about to reply when the boat tipped to the side and I toppled overboard.

"You're not taking her out on this fishing trip are you?" Marnie asked pointing a finger at her gray-haired husband. Scar rolled his eyes "She's done this before, nothing to worry about." he smiled, waggling his finger in an almost childlike manner. Marnie put her hands on her hips "You heard Argent. There is a storm coming and it will last an entire week!" she pointed out. Scar laughed his croaky laugh and went back to piling on barrels of fruit into the nets which would then be loaded on to the boat. "This is your last trip isn't it?" a voice asked behind me. I turned around to see Argent "Yes it is Argent. When we come back we can start looking for the time gears again." I said with a small smile. Argent didn't look to impressed but he wasn't the type to argue so scurried back down the stairs and out into the harbour to help Scar load the boat. Marnie and Scar had cared for me since I was a young child. Scar and Marnie had always wanted a child of their own so when Scar found me on that floating piece of wood on a cargo delivery it was nothing short of a miracle. Scar taught me everything I knew on the boats. When I was young he would take me on small fishing trips but as I got older he took me further out to sea. Marnie always wanted me to work on the land with her and the girls but to be honest it bored me sitting at home all day. I met Argent when I was delivering fish to the local market he was trying to steal an Oran berry from one of the stalls and I caught him. We became close friends and he explained to me what he actually did for a living. He explained that he was looking for someone with a 'gift' to see into the future. That person was me... I never truly understood why he was so interested in me until roughly a year before my last fishing trip the temporal time tower finally turned into rubble. Since then myself and Argent started to use my 'gift' to find time gears. But we never found all five, even though we did try we just couldn't find them so we assumed they turned into rubble when the tower went down.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Present day~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I struggled to breath as the water gurgled around me. I felt like it was trying to suck me in. I couldn't see anything and my eyes stung from the tangy sea air. Suddenly a large wave crashed on top of me and I felt myself sink under the water. I was stuck floating in the water unable to breathe or move I felt like I was paralyzed. My body seemed to act like it was shutting down, I felt my heartbeat slow and I felt like everything had just frozen. Then suddenly out of no where I felt like I was being hit with a huge wave of energy. I opened my mouth to scream but I couldn't do anything but make bubbles come out. My mouth filled with water and I squeezed my eyes tighter before I sank closer to the sea floor.
