Reaching the island required a cautious approach. Swimming was out of the question; the frigid water and the unknown depths posed too great a risk.

"We need to find a boat," William declared, scanning the shoreline. "There has to be a way for them to have reached the island."

"Divide into groups and take a boat each," William instructed, his voice steady despite the urgency of their situation. The students, their fear momentarily forgotten, scrambled towards the vessels.
