Against Fishes and Waves
...!
'Am I... underwater?' Skullius questioned himself as he felt himself getting swept up this way and that by the waves of violent water current.
The waters which had spontaneously appeared with the glow of the purple eye on the forehead of the man-carp were tinged with a dark hue that was hard to see through.
Such a visual detail wouldn't normally oppose the efficacy of optical sight for someone like Skullius, but there seemed to be thick jets of mana infused within the water, making it unnaturally dark in the waters.
Skullius sought for his mental link to Red Rage and found the Apostle to be behind him.
No. That wasn't right.
He was sinking, behind him, probably because of the armour that he was wearing.
'What the heck happened? Were we transported some place else?'
Skullius wiggled his limbs, feeling the powerful currents wrestle against his attempt to direct his body to another trajectory.
What was with these currents?!
