Keep Going Even Though You're Lost

You eventually stumble across a small stream, filled with brightly coloured fish. Thirsty from wandering the jungle for hours you plunge in and take a long drink.

You feel tingly for a few seconds, but the feeling passes, before being replaced by a curious feeling of weightlessness.

Zoe screams!

As you turn to her to ask what is wrong, thinking she must have seen the pirates following you, your scales flash in the sunlight.

Yes, scales. Unbeknownst to you, the stream was cursed long ago by a witch living on the island. You have become one of the brightly coloured fish.

Zoe and Joe go on without you. You never see them again.

The End
