Narivan explains that when their ship was wrecked in the storm, an Atlan diving boat had saved them, all except for Asin and her younger brother who were never found. They had searched for them for a while but hadn’t found them. The survived group had carried on their way to unknown places, playing oud in the ships and islands to earn their sleeping cabins and food and save up money. They had returned to their island after nine years only to set off again, but this time to nearby ships and as far as Oxan and Atlan. Narivan declares that he is worn out by travelling and that he no longer has the ability or the passion to go on dangerous adventures. He has seen it all and believes it’s all the same, the sea, the ships and the roofed islands. He has seen advanced ships in faraway regions but all people lived nearly the same. The only place they were never able to enter was the Saviour Island. Even farming and animal husbandry ships had allowed them to stay on their ships for a while. He says he has been diving with the divers of the ships and believes the divers can’t find anything useful in the drowned cities anymore. All they mine and dive out is soil, bricks and stones. They can’t even find wood or steel, nonetheless the pre-rain objects. He then gives the oud to Asin and tells her things have changed. There are no more restricting rules in their island. Atlan has sent many workers and the island workers are not pressured like before. He tells her that he has opened a small oud shop on the island, where he can build and sell oud and other instruments. He shows off the oud again saying that this is one of the instruments made in his shop with the help of Asin’s older brother. They also have teaching classes in the rain seasons. He has come to Oxan to find and buy good quality chords. Asin listens to him while he excitedly talks with joy in his eyes.
