The lonely island

Ark opened his eyes. Before him there was the young girl, squatting before him, looking at him somewhere between afraid and amazed. When she looked at his open eyes, she jumped and laughed. Then she hugged him.

-What a relief! I thought you were going to die.

-But what...?

Ark had never smelled such a captivating perfume. She smelled like many flowers, but like none in particular. Under that white dress he could feel her creamy skin perfectly. Overwhelmed by so much femininity, he jumped away from her, leaning back, and hit his head against the trunk of a small tree.

-Oh!

-Ha ha! Watch out! Are you really fine? You look confused - she placed one of his hands on his forehead, as wanting to know if he had a fever.

-No, don't worry, I'm fine - he could feel the blood concentrating on both his cheecks, and he again moved away from her and glanced around - Where are we?

There was water everywhere. Marshes, with little vegetation, extended by the four cardinal points.
There was only a small rocky and dry island, and this was the place where they were now. The sun was red and it seemed anchored on the horizon, not moving. Was it dusk or dawn? There was no sign of any animal. They were only the two of them in this world of water. Two of them and a small tree that would not measure more than a meter and a half. It seemed to be dead.

-Ah! Oops, sorry, I'm not used to receiving any visitors. In fact, hehe, is the first time I get one - she placed a hand on her chin and her little nose scrunched, eyes narrowed - All this time I have been wishing to have company and, suddenly, I forget what I wanted to say - she sighed , defeated - Anyway. This is the place where I live.

-Where you live? But there is only wilderness here. there is only water and rocks.

-Is not that enough? - she asked, her head bowed somewhat hesitantly.

-Look, I don't know whether you're kidding or you have simply lost your mind, but see, very strange things have been happening to me - he began to tell, stroking his fingers nervously - I was in the desert, watching my Old Me becoming crazy,when you suddenly appeared and got me out of there, bringing mme to this island. The point is that before reaching this desert I used to live in The Fortress- he paused and looked at her. She looked even more confused. Her nose wrinkles had intensified - I came with a Rock Entrance. I just don't know anymore. Everything seems a nightmare. I think I'm also becoming crazy.

-I do not know what you're talking about - she shrugged - You'll see. I've lived here for 18 years and today it was the first time that the waters were agitated. They have even formed small waves. So I went out to investigate, swimming, looking for the source of those waves and, in the end, I reached you. That is all. Then I brought you back here and I gave you some of this water.
And by the look of it, it seems it worked like a wonder!
