The good followers of the Saviour had requested the banishment of women divers. Ardaz, the Avij chief, had forbid the women to go out of the ship during the rainy season. He was awaiting the Saviour Ship’s order, allowing them to fight and kill the giant fish. The news had spread that some southern ships were completely destroyed by the attacks and their residents had fled to Oxan, camping there on a floating Make-shift harbour. Although the attacks were serious, Asin wouldn’t leave her boat and step on the ship and since the fish wouldn’t harm her, she was put in a suspicious position. She had pretended to be deaf and mute as before, and wouldn’t care to listen to any sayings. But the sayings wouldn’t let go of her. Dalia was reaching her fifteenth birthday that Asin got pregnant again. The divers and fishers of Avij were granted three new boats from the Saviour Island in compensation for their losses and patience and obedience of the Saviour Rules – not killing the giant fish. The boats were equipped with new advanced fishing tools and all the young men and women of the ship wanted to work on them even though the profit was partly given to their ship and mostly to the Saviour Island. Dalia’s father was not a fisherman but he had joined one of the new fishing boats and left without hearing the news of Asin’s pregnancy.

Asin awaited her husband’s return the whole rain season, but none of the boats had returned. Some said that the fishers had fled to Atlan, some said the boats had drowned and some believed the boats were devoured by the giant fish. The fishers’ fate had become ambiguous like the memories of the sea residents. Over thirty people from the Avij ship had disappeared with the boats, but they only blamed one person: the one woman who had brought them bad fortune by giving birth to devious stillborn babies. And she was pregnant again probably to give birth to another crippled monster and attract more catastrophes to the ship. This time, Asin’s husband was not there to protect her. The residents of the ship were scared and would do anything to ensure their safety, but only to the extent of Saviours Rules. They were not allowed to kill Asin according to the Saviour Rules, but they could exile her to the sea. No one knew who had come up with such a dreadful thought: abandoning an eight months pregnant woman in the sea. But one of them had remembered that many years ago they had found Asin half-dead on a dugout in the waves. And this was enough to gain everyone’s approval for her punishment.

They had tied Asin’s and Dalia’s hands and forced them into a boat. Asin knew that the boatman didn’t dare to go too far away from the ships. The rain season had come to an end but the attacks were still probable. If the boatman threw them into the sea near the ships, they could be saved by other boats. The boatman was given orders to throw them in a distance between the ships and an island. Asin knew that they had to get as close as possible to a land. Dalia had talked to the boatman and begged him to have mercy on them. The boatman had felt sorry for them, but he couldn’t disobey the chief. All he had done was to untie their hands for the three-day journey. Dalia was thankful, as she had to constantly moist her head.
