I was exhausted. We were all carefully treading back to camp after a whole day of exploring and map-making. The warm smells came from camp and we all instinctively walked faster. So far all we had discovered was rock on this island. Once we had seen a streak of greenish-orange in the sky far away. Then there had been a glint of green. But other than that the day had been like the last two. Ragnar predicted that we would be done by tomorrow. We entered the camp and made our way to were the food was being prepared. I ate faster than I thought possible and then went to bed in my tent. The wind was fierce on the flat island, but we were used to much more in Alalea. With the northern wind blowing harshly, I nodded of to sleep.

The horn blew. I bolted upright and was out of the tent within minutes. I quickle ate my breakfast, but tried not to take too much because I knew we where running low on food because this island was a drain on our resources. Then I went to the edge of camp. I wasn't the only one that had gotten done quickly. All of us wanted to be finished today. We set out with the rising sun reflecting on the morning fog.
Hours dragged on. There was a continuous scratch as Ragnar wrote or findings. The wind was picking up speed. I knew what was happening before I heard the cry.
"SEA!" All of us raced forward like little children eager to see the if there was anything. We splashed the water a bit but there was nothing significant. The five others sat down for the break but I settled near the sea. It gave me comfort. I felt a presence near and looked up into the face of Ragnar. He was looking directly at me.
"Look at this." He showed me his drawing of the island. "Like a hand isn't it?" I nodded my head but turned back my head to the blue horizon. But as I kept on looking, I saw that it wasn't blue at all.
"Ragnar!" I breathed. "Do you see that?"
He looked out, then shook his head.
I pointed to the horizon. "Mountains." I whispered, barely believing it.
At once I saw the change in his face. He became more alert and looked out. Then a sle spread across his lips. "Rather small compared to what we had but yes, I see them." He was so calm, but had a rebel streak in him. Who else would have thought of exploring the unknown like him? He had a daring air, mischievous. I don't know what happened, but I burst out crying. I cried for what I had kept in all those years. And I cried because I knew I loved him.
For a split second nothing happened, but then he embraced me. He didn't say anything, or ask why I was crying, he just held me.
Taking a shaky breath, I asked, "Are we going there?"
"Yes"
Then I cried harder. Some how what I was doing hit me with full force.
I leaned my head against his shoulder. "This is it isn't it? We never going back?" He silently nodded his head. "We are never leaving. This is out knew home. We are staying here."
Never going back. It echoed through my head as we sat there. The sun was setting when we turned to leave as the others had hours ago. Ragnar announced that I had found mountains not that far off. The next morning we set sail. Not once did I look at him. At times I could tell he wanted to catch my eye, but I didn't let him. I tried to pretend that I hadn't cried. The whole scene hadn't happened. But we both knew it had as we set sail around the island to the unknown mountains with differing colors frequently flashing in the sky above.
