"Hmm?"
My eyes squinted subconsciously as they adjusted to the new environment.
Confusion etched itself on my face along with a deep line as I blinked my eyes back to normal.
Checking my watch, I saw it was past two o'clock.
The hazy afternoon sun was still overhead, filtering through the thick vines and casting an orange glow over the forest that covered the island.
"Fuck these different time zones." Grumbling under my breath, I looked around the place.
When I was at the academy, it wasn't even ten, and now, far away from there, time had passed, giving me only a few hours of sunlight.
I stood in front of some old building site, my back towards the sea, overlooking what would, once completed, be an outdoor pool.
But right now, it was a sorry-looking mess, crudely dug like a basin full of dirt.
"An abandoned island that was once home to someone," I mumbled, gazing over the building now covered with plants and trees.
