Aleia noticed Taren seemed very relieved to see her, causing a hint of a smile to emerge on her features. Satisfied with his answer, Aleia knew that even if he could swim, these waves could be capable of drowning even an expert swimmer. The white caps alluded to the danger in the waters, which were swollen with the additional water and push of the harsh winds. "Yes, I can swim. Looks like we might have to."

The question was a tough one, and Aleia found she didn't have an answer that would offer a perfect solution. Staying on board would put them at risk for burns, being dragged down with the ship or being struck by falling debris. Going into the water meant a chance of drowning or dying of the cold. As she tried to make a decision, the boat jerked violently, sending Taren out of her grip and to another part of the ship. Glancing around nervously, it took Aleia half a minute before she found her friend, rushing over to his side.

Grabbing a rope that was coiled at the bottom of the mast, Aleia tied one end around her waist, gave a few feet of slack, and tied the other end on Taren's waist. "We're going to have to swim. This will prevent us from drifting apart, and will make it easy to help the other if they start going under the water. We can't stay here anymore," Gripping Taren's hand, she led them to the edge of the crumbling ship before jumping into the water. Shivering at the cold temperature, Aleia surfaced moments later, letting the waves carry them away from the vessel. A large piece of the hull had fallen off and was floating nearby. Grabbing the piece of wood, Aleia pulled herself onto the makeshift raft, urging her friend to do the same.
