And The Waves Settled

ARRRGGGHHH!!!

…

Eh?

Hmmm?

That's odd…

I feel a little… Out of breath? And a little…

Blurggh?!! Where's my air bubble?!!

I quickly cast [Air Pocket] and materialised a bubble of air around my head, sucking in lungfuls of air as I tried to make sense of what happened.

I turned around to see what happened to Odeta and Emilia, only to find the two of them flailing around in the water with no air bubble around their heads.

I panicked and used [Air Pocket] on them as well, the two of them gasping for air as soon as it materialised over their heads.

What happened?

Looking around me, I realised that the walls had been smashed apart and there was blood and body parts floating all around me.

I tried to find where Merrick was until I felt something bump against me.

Turning back, I found a dead Merman with several parts of his body missing floating around me.
