Sometimes, You Just Gotta Make A Net

He was tired of being stuck on the ship. Since mom and Bael disappeared, things had changed, and not so much for the better. Dad had gone out searching almost every day for them, and still, there was no hide or hair of the two. "Stupid Bael..." He muttered under his breath as he kicked a small piece of wood that lay rotting on the ground. He was probably out on adventures with mom while the rest of them were stuck here! Dad said he'd take them out soon, but that felt like it was taking forever to happen! Why was he so hung up on finding them anyway? It was obvious they didn't want to be found, right?

He decided to hell with the rules. Dad's companions were hanging around somewhere, probably watching and making sure they didn't disappear like mom and Bael. He headed out to the beach, and not long after arriving, he spotted his brother handling something. He cocked his head as he watched for a moment. "What're you doing? Do you need some help?" He asked as he approached, curiosity drawing him in as he sat down and watched his brother struggle with the rope he had.
