It was a typical day on the island. Dyami along with several other young men in the village were renovating the roof on the hut of one of the older members of the tribe.  Not a difficult task but a long and time consuming one and once the task was finished most of the young men went to one of the local ponds for a swim.  Dyami joined them for a bit before running off to his favorite hill to survey the tribes village and the part of the island they controlled and that's when his day took an abrupt turn for the worse.<br/><br/>Everyone in the tribe grew up hearing about the whirlpools but only a few of the older warriors ever saw the ships that occasionally passed by the island beyond the whirlpools.  Dyami was told about the ships once he became the Guardian but he had never seen one before.  But here was a ship, headed not passed the island but straight towards the whirlpools and larger than life.  He watched the ship sail right into the whirlpool and break apart and sink.  Without a second thought he turns and heads to the village elders and explains the situation as fast as he is able.  They send Dyami back to the beach to keep watch telling him they'd send relief with more instructions.<br/><br/>He arrives at the beach just in time to see the first of the survivors arrives at the beach.  Using his skills for camouflage Dyami hides along the beach and watches as the survivors arrives.  Counting; waiting; and constantly watching.
