It's... Asha...

(chuckles) Okay "Asha", need any help?

Did you get everything ok?

Yeah... were the rope and the fish all you really needed?

Yep, they should be. Sorry for using you like this.

(stutters) I wouldn't get too close,

it would be a shame having our dear delivery cat get hit by a rock! (chuckles)

(giggles) Would they really do that?

(distant) Haha you bet!

I've lost both of these to those scrawny bastards!

...wanna see the holes?

Umar! Quit scaring everyone who comes here!

Ah whatever! Well you did the same thing!

...am I... winning?

So, Azed? Do you wanna go into town?

At least for today, for Canvas' Edge?

(Chuckles) I... don't think so.

I've got my responsibilities here, and things might get even more hectic today.

But you should go out, and enjoy it!

Here! Something extra so you can enjoy the festival.

Thanks! I'll buy something for you!

Azed!

You might want to see this...

Heh! Lucky him! I wish I could!

It's... abandoned?

Dad!

Are you really going out today?

The boat's not exactly... fixed...yet.

I wanna catch as much as I can while... the winds are good...

On the day of the festival?

I can't let good weather go to waste.

Not in times like these.

Azed's not going?

He's not. I don't have anyone to go with.

And I wanted to stay up to see the sunrise.

(chuckles) You're not going to last the whole night.

Why don't you stay up and make sure I don't?

I'll make sure to come back for the evening celebrations.

Find me near the fish stands, all right?

Now, help me get this things out to sea.

The faster I'm out of here, the earlier I'm back.

See you this evening!

Good luck!

...and that is how we make the boats. Any questions?

Can you tell us why we make them? Again.

It is said...

...that on the first day of Canvas' Edge, when the Great Rift overshadows the sun,

the Ancient Spirits come down onto our lands.

They lead the dead souls from the Rift to be reunited with their loved ones.

We make those boats to send them out to sea to welcome them.

The astronomical clock shows the exact time the Great Rift opens up and-

Asha!

See I may be half-blind and old, but I can see you, you little munchkin.

(distant) Ash! Ash!

It's Ash-a

Azed! What are you doing here?

Great spirits it's good to see you!

Listen, all the protectors around our barricades disappeared.

We don't know what's happening but, we're trying to figure out why they're gone.

Maybe they want back to their harbor to enjoy the festival?

They would never leave their places, not all of them.

(shivers) I've got a terrible feeling about this.

Report to the post if you see even one of them!

I have to run now, take care!

Azed wait!

A storm?

So much for a festival...

Azed?

Forget it...

Am I...

Hello?

Is anybody here?

Anyone?

There's someone down here!

Can you hear me? Please!

There's a cat trapped in the ruins! You have to help them!

We did it! We can save more!

I...

I don't think I can do this...

Wait! Where are you going! Wait for me!

No, wait! I can still help! I can do it!

There are others that need our help, please can't you see me?

Why would you do that?

I can still help I could've...

Wait!

Thank you, for saving me anyway.

Is it... not working?

Wait...

Dad? Dad!

What happened? Are you hurt?

I...

...I don't think I am.

I'm so, sorry.

I never should have left you alone.

What's that? It looks too big for you-

I'm not sure, I shouldn't have this...

Dad! There are still cats under the rubble! We have to help them!

What are-

I don't know what this is, but it can help them.

I tried but, I can't get us any closer.

That's a-

-protector.

Dad no! We have to turn back!

We're going to the continent, there's nothing we can do!

But the continent belongs to the protectors!

Turn back, I have to help them!

What can you do? You're just a kid!

They'll come after you, and...

healing won't help you if you're captured.

I'm sorry...

They're following us!

(curses)

I'll make us lighter!

Huh?

You didn't catch anything the whole day?

I...

I thought I could see her again.

Dad? What are you doing?

Dad?

Asha, I want you to know I love you so, so much.

When you get to shore,

never tell anyone where you're from and don't let them see the amulet.

I love you.

May your mother watch over you.

You've caused us a lot of trouble,

old man.

See if there's anything in those baskets.

Oh?

Getting anxious, are we?

Just empty baskets, nothing of value.

Then what will we do with the boat?

We're not dragging it back with us.

It has no worth.

More importantly,

what are we going to do with him?
