Description
Sagrass felt a strange pull to this place. Something brought him here, and he didn't know what. After months of swimming, following that guiding energy, he arrived on a rocky beach. Apparently other esk have been called here as well: there were large groups of esk from all corners of the world gathered here. What did this mean?

He didn't get close to them. Other esk made him uncomfortable, especially travelers. Sagrass almost wanted to turn back and swim away, in his head he was again reliving the traumatic experience of being ripped apart from the only world he knew, in one second, everything changed, his entire animal life stopped when-

Stop. Sagrass shaked his head, like a dog, temporarily silencing his thoughts. He found it. Away from the other esk, in a remote part of the beach, three items, items that specifically called to him. A lost necklace, a cuttlefish skeleton, and a strange rock. He felt like he is expected to choose one.

The necklace was clearly lost. As he is too. Just like him it was ripped apart from the only world it knew, in one second- stop. Sagrass shook his head and the motion traveled through his entire body, all the way to the tail tip. "I will not touch this necklace" he said.

The cuttlefish was dead. It once lived peacfully in the ocean, wild and happy, until something cut its life short. Sagrass was dead too. His life was cut short as well. He shook his head yet again. "No, I am sorry, I cannot help you" he said.

He looked at the rock. It's just a rock. He felt like he could trust this rock not to hurt him. Gently picking it up, he whispered "What do you need?"
