I have sailed through many stormy seas to get here and I followed all of the instructions to the point. So of course I trusted our elders to wait before opening the map of the island. Turns out, it was not a map, it was the final instruction that told me to follow the crow.
Now see... I could live with this instruction, even though it's a really weird one. But the thing is, the entire shore is littered with crow. Like, am I supposed to just... pick one?
So I spent days waltzing around the island, the supplies are long gone, the ship too, nothing can survive too long near those sharp cliffs.
It's really funny, you know, I have been so desperate, chasing after these crows, that I have not had time to just lie down and rest. I can see the stars covering the entire sky. I can also, very clearly, see the constellation that looks like a crow. Like a crow flying to the west.
This island was supposed to be a landmark not a final destination, but it is going to be one, for me.
