Missing People

While several people discussed their next steps as they journeyed back to Planet Nova, a certain student was facing a truly difficult situation.

It was near closing time when Noah chanced upon his schoolmate and neighbor, Theo.

He'd say chance upon, but it seemed like the guy was actually headed his way.

"Hey, man! Any luck today?" Noah decided to ask. Although he was hopeful, it was rather apparent that today was another bust.

"No." Sighed Theo.

It had been a tough week for his family. About two days ago, they lost contact with his older brother and father, who had traveled all the way to Kestrel Point to look for an important herb.

Theo's grandmother, and in turn, almost all of them, were part Siren and couldn't be cured by regular human medicine.

That herb was part of her antidote and the key to staying on land. Honestly, this wouldn't have been a problem had they not lost their expected supply.
