Before me lay the stone pier of King's Harbor, with dark, deep waters below.
Varian gazed at the vast sea before him, yet he hesitated and remained where he was. Behind him, the sounds of battle continued, with the Adventurers still fighting valiantly, but their cries grew weaker by the moment. He knew he had to make a decision quickly. Jumping into the sea was the best option, but his swimming abilities were mediocre. If the orcs caught up and shot arrows at him in the water, he would be a sitting duck.
Just then, a figure leapt into the sea beside him, a druid transformed into a black panther. In the instant the panther hit the water, it had already turned into a fat seal. After doing a turn in the water, the seal called out to Varian.
Fat Gugu (the druid): "Prince Varian, jump quickly, I'll carry you away."
