the world you know is ending. but fortune has delivered you from the flood. you 
did not intend to leave your home forever, but be thankful you left when you did
.butyou must say your goodbyes from here. you cannot go back down into the abyss
. for you have walked too far and now there is no more time to walk. the ocean i
s coming....oh hii, uhh... thank you forthank you. we have to go.goodbyeits gett
inglate.we can make itto the towertonightwe cant runthe whole waynopehiprobably.
not much furtheri dreamed i woke up in the water.i hope they dont mind us taking
 some of the food and water here.mm.maybe we should have stayed to ask. but i wa
s starting to get a little creeped out.yeah.still, maybe they could have helped 
us find a faster way back....are you oki did something that was wrong.you stole 
the mapsill give them back someday i hope.this is great there are so manywe must
 be here, rightyeah. so, we can follow our old path down the mountain, then cut 
across land through the hills. im guessing theyre empty. it sounds like everyone
 knew but us.yeah.ok. we can do this, probably.the stuff they put on my leg work
ed great. what do you think it wasno idea. im just glad they had it.along with t
he maps, i shouldve stolen a guide to treating injuries. ooh, and one on how the
y make those pointing devices in the towers...um...just go uphill. dont stop, do
nt get stuck. you can make it.chirpwell, no ones coming down yelling or throwing
 stuff. i guess the hills are empty.i dont see anyone. i think the hills are emp
ty.i wish we had time to go up and explore them. id love to learn how they get a
ll that stuff.i wish we had time to explore them. id love to learn how they make
 all that stuff.is that the sea...should it be in view alreadyi know this place.
 there definitely shouldnt be water here.uh oh.the sea must be flowing up old ri
verbeds.if its here it must be close to joining the river. how high up do you th
ink we areno idea. how do you even measure thati dont know.oh i used to come out
 to this rock when i was little.breathe...its weird being the last person to see
 it.whoa, wait.look at the spot where we crossed the riverbed.oh. oh no.there th
ey are i see people coming over the rise across the... ...water.i cant tell how 
deep it is. these things seem to be snaking in from all along the coast. we shou
ldve come from more inland.i was trying, but inland keeps movingtheyre headed th
is way. they must be planning to cross here. do you think its safeit should be  
its not actually a river they can swim if they need.we should cross. theyre not 
here yet, and its getting deeper. better to get on their side while we can. then
 we can help them back over if its safe.good thinking.i can feel it flowing.....
.but something seems wrong. hang on.splashaughwhatits tphbtt its fresh not as fr
esh as a river, but too fresh to float on  definitely not while holding a bag.i 
guess the other sea is fresh water. i hope its shallow enough to ford.ill go fir
st, since you have the maps.
