Trip to Slant Rock Isle [Past]

[Castor Phecda]

Castor waited nervously. Their plan seemed the best for the circumstance although it didn't cover all of his concerns. The ship was still in fairly deep water. They would be leaving the ship soon so Castor decided he would try once more to see what was in the water beneath them. If not the dragon then maybe a bit more of that flat object. They weren't too far from where he had dropped the last stone, he thought. It was hard to tell how far they had traveled.

He took another stone from his pocket, held it in his hand until its form was imprinted on his mind then, placing his hand with the rock into the water so as not to splash, released it to sink to the bottom.
