I have decided that once the lighthouse is completed I will leave for some time and let the world's own imagination have control.
I returned with many tools that I will need for construction of the lighthouse. They would be curious about the light and travel to discover its source - if they have the means. I think that perhaps by shining a bright light toward the horizon, it might prove my suspicions regarding additional inhabitants. I have also been thinking of some plans for a lighthouse that I hope to construct soon. Regardless, I have decided to return home for a short while. If rain has never fallen here until recently, as the boys tell me, I would like to discover why it is falling now. They were frightened of the heavier rain, not to mention the thunder and lightning. Just when the boys were getting used to the light rains, a small storm arrived. The rain today was slightly heavier than usual. (I rather suspect it is additional people, which would explain the appearance of Branch and Will.) I should very much like to discover which.
Also during the night, I catch glimmers of light from the horizon which I have not been able to discover if it is created by some natural phenomenon or by additional people on far off islands or rocks. I have made note of and named a number of constellations that pass above me. The nights are absolutely beautiful here. In the course of my observations I have learned some very interesting things regarding the solar system of this age. It is a much sturdier platform than the jagged rocks. They have played on it all day.Įven though the boat cannot move I have enjoyed studying from it. Although this test did not turn out as I had hoped, I now have answers to a few of the questions my father never answered.Īs for the boat, I can see the boys enjoy it anyway and with that I am pleased. I thought everything was planned correctly, yet somehow the boat had become gripped by the rock and broken in half. I attempted to create a boat by writing it into the world. I was experimenting with The Art - testing the limits of the rules as dictated to me by Father. I still do not fully understand what happened today. They didn't understand (not that I expected them to.) I told them that while I was gone, I would make a surprising change in their world. Before going to sleep tonight I told the boys I would leave the following day. I explained to the boys that the rain was not harmful, yet they obviously still feared it. It was a nice rain that lasted for about an hour in the morning. While I was relaxing under a large tree on one of the smaller rock islands, it began to rain. It was not strange to me but the three boys did not understand what was happening. Today the second day on this newly created age a strange thing happened. Emmit, Branch, and Will were surprised to see me at first, but even before the night ended we were all becoming good friends. Will was soon a part of the group, and all three of the boys swam and enjoyed their perfect world.Īt least, that is the story I was told when I arrived today on the island.
Emmit said the boy should be called Will. Branch brought the new boy to Emmit to find out what to call the new boy. One day while Branch was swimming and having fun in the water he noticed another boy swimming. A light breeze always came from the north and cooled the area down. Though the sun always shone, it was never too hot for the boys. The sun always shone brightly on their world, and the water was always dazzlingly clear, allowing them to see almost to the deep ocean floor which surrounded them. Soon, Branch discovered a place where he decided to live, also on the same large rock. Emmit showed Branch the simple cave in which he lived on the largest rock. Emmit and Branch quickly became friends, swimming and hunting for fish together often. One day another person appeared on The Rocks, for no apparent reason to Emmit. Emmit would occasionally swim to nearby rocks, as it was never too far of a distance. This was where Emmit lived he enjoyed his life. He named them The Rocks because that is what they were: a group of sharp rocks clustered together in the middle of a large sea. Emmit was the first to live on The Rocks.
