Aiyratna laid on his back and let darkness take him over....
A sharp jab of monsoon rain piercing his caked eyelids broke the death like reverie that he had drifted into...! Sweet sweet water washing over his body and running over his face..! He dared not open his eyes lest the dream would dissapear ..! His fingers twitched feeling the dead rafters of his "craft" ..making sure they were there . Wet creaking and almost rotten..but yes they were definitely there.
Aiyratna opened his eyes slowly to take it all in..The dark menacing skies..The pointed raindrops..The swirling waves below . He took in his assistant rising and turning..as if refreshed into life by the rain sheets ... Yes he was alive...There was no doubt in that..!
They sat up almost simultaneously and scanned each other..almost stunned to see each other alive...! Slowly Danu crawled up to him and held him . His eyes were dry yet both could only silently murmer their thanks..
A push again...a strong push from below their raft that turned the direction of the raft..! yes..Airatna had almost forgotten it. There was an invisible hand pushing the raft away from the sea stream ....Pushing it into another durection.The look on Danu's face confirmed as of yet what was an illusion...
At the risk of toppling the raft..Aiyratna laid on his belly and peered down...!
What he saw ..he had never seen or heard before...
To be continued..

The story is good, your narration is at par with any professional or bestselling novelist. Let it come along. I hope they return soon with lots of fish. I can't stand the sorrow and the suspense. I wonder why to create characters facing tough situations and then worrying about them all day (af if they were real).
