Nina Ek
How much time had passed? Days led into weeks now and Nina found herself still stranded on this island. She had managed to use large leaves from the trees to capture rain water and even found waterfalls inland to bathe under. Food was plentiful with fruits and small game keeping her fed. She wondered if the outside world was turning as everything here seemed immune to the outisde. She had started charting the island along the beach and into the jungle. No sign of human life at all, she even reached out in meditation and knew for miles she was alone. As she sat on the beach just listening to waves crash she wondered about building a vessel or just staying here. It was lonely, but she wasn't afraid of danger either.
She felt a presence, it was quiet and watching her.
"Come out", she said calmly.
A small cat with shimmering black fur emerged. It fixed its sole yellow eye on her and made its way to her. It didn't attack, rather it rubbed up against Nina and seemed rather playful. She petted it and scratched his cheek which pleased the animal.
"Well, aren't you friendly?" she chuckled.
Then the cat really surprised her by responding in a deep smooth voice, "I should think so. We have been waiting for you Nina."
