Emerald suddenly snaps awake, his head spinning. It's day, and he finds himself lying face down in the sand. Emerald tries to get back on all fours, but just as he pushes himself up he suddenly retches and throws up quite a bit of sea water.

Emerald groggily steps out of the tide and onto the rocky shore. Scanning the water he sees no sign of either the boat, the monster, or any debris from either. What happened? Did everyone die? Did they survive?

Emerald takes a better look of the area around him. Using the sun as a guide, he guesses the shore continues northwest-ish, and southeast-ish for a ways before turning into sheer cliffs, and to his west and southwest are a dense forest.

Emerald takes a look at the forest from his seat on the shore. They are indeed brown trunked and green leaved, but the colors seem oddly darker than they should be considering the time of day.

Emerald feels his stomach rumble. He doesn't exactly feel hungry, but he realizes he hasn't eaten since essentially yesterday morning. Also, he feels a bit dehydrated.
