Ocean's Breath Plateau Safe and sound…finally

“Peri…dot. Dottie…” He croaked out. “Sister.”

It took everything for him to push himself upright, his eyes finding the woman’s that sat between him and his sister. He coughed, clearing his throat. “Thank..you—ahem—Thank you for saving us.” He looked around for the male who brought them to this place.

His smile was small, but genuine. “Thank you, sir.” 

Then, he looked towards the other woman, Kuku…something. “Thank you for helping us…please, please save my sister.” He couldn’t help the whimper that escaped his lips; he couldn’t cry, he was too dehydrated. 

She was not allowed to leave him, they promised never to part.

No matter what.
