After defeating the boss monster, an exit, just like a vortex but much smaller, appeared, connecting that world to Earth.
Once we stepped inside, we were sucked in and then thrown out. We fell into the ocean where the vortex once had been.
A ferry waiting for us rescued us. We were brought back to the island after that.
The cool, salty breeze of the island filled my lungs. The air was refreshingly clean compared to the suffocating and flooded battlefield we had come from.
The sky was darkening into dusk, which meant that almost a whole day had passed outside the vortex.
I looked up at the horizon streaked with warm hues of orange and purple. The journey back was so quiet that the grumbling of my stomach could be heard.
I squeezed myself into the corner seat and engrossed myself in finding Nemo in the water.
At last, for goodness' sake, we arrived at the island. I stood, clutching the towel in my body, while my legs were pressed against each other.
"They're back!"
