When I finally blinked the blinding brightness from my eyes, I let out a soundless gasp. An ocean of dark water stretched out before me, reaching as far as my eyes could see.
The sun above failed to penetrate the still surface, but what caught my attention even more were the platforms suspended over the sea. Each one was large enough to hold three people, and every platform was connected to others by flat wooden bridges.
A single platform has four bridges connecting it to the others.
My eyes widened. "Meaning I'll be fighting off at least four people at once or close."
But that wasn't all, the sea was divided into several islands by broad stone bridges that cut the sea.
That realization snapped me fully awake. I looked around and finally noticed where I was, standing at the edge of one of the rocky beach. All the Awakeners had been brought here at once, surrounding the water. Some had even been placed directly on the stone bridges separating the islands.
