He would ruin my mood. After dinner, I went to my cabin to rest but I woke up in the middle of the night. I couldn't sleep again so I just decided to go up on the top deck and get some fresh air. I hold onto the railings and stared at the dark sea in front. Even with the moonlight, the sea is still so dark. It looks so calm on the surface but who knows what are the dangers awaiting beneath it. Even if it's dangerous, I couldn't help but adore it. I wonder how Helion will kill me? Because if I will make the choice, I rather be drowned in such a wonderful sea. Dying under waters is everyone's horror, but for me I think it's a lot more noble. After all, dying in the place you love is better.

Everything I wasn’t able to understand in the last day now comes to a sense. Every single moment of the last five years fills my mind.

I’m drowning, while every inch of my body hurts the in the worst way. “Shhhhh…..It will soon be over," I can now hear him whisper soothingly. “You’re going to be fine.”

At my warning, I noticed how Skyr looked at me while Trei threw his head back and cackled. He looked over his shoulder to catch my gaze. “Relax. Even if I fall what’s the worse thing that can happen? That I’ll drown and die? The only thing that will happen is that I’ll get wet and turn blue.” I almost slapped myself for forgetting the fact that Trei can breathe underwater. Of course, he wouldn’t die. He’s a sea folk!

It terrified me, and with good reason. Drowning is a horrific way to go out. Well, it is if you're conscious. This was something I knew from experience. The cold and desperate feeling as water invades your nose and mouth. The impossible attempt to stay calm and hold your dwindling breath. The pain of lungs utterly depleted of oxygen.

Aurora’s POV I stared into the far distance in confusion. There was a lake in front of me. I could hear the sounds of crickets. The night was cold, and I seemed to be drenched and I was… I was breathing. Wait a second, let me rephrase that again, BREATHING? But that was impossible. I died. The sound of desperate coughing brought my attention back to the present, and I looked down to see a young girl around six to eight years expelling water from her mouth and gasping for air.

AVA It had been days since we returned from that cursed vacation. The villa was supposed to be a retreat, a place to unwind and reconnect, but it had nearly been our end. I could still feel the icy water swallowing me, the terror of sinking deeper, my lungs screaming for air. Every night, I jolted awake, heart pounding, the drowning feeling pulling me back into that nightmare. And every night, Liam was there—his arms strong around me, his voice a soothing lull, whispering, “I’ve got you. You’re safe. We’re safe.”

My breath was agonizingly painful and short as I struggled to keep my head above the water grave that wanted to swallow me whole. "H...help"I attempted to voice out but I ended up swallowing a cupful of water immediately when I opened my mouth. I grasped for my last breath of air but its cold water flooded in, my throat burned as if a thousand needles had been plunged into it "H...help"I tried again but I felt powerless as the water kept on dragging me down the bottom. The pool was a deep one and the water was rushing through making me helpless as I felt light. Submerged with water swirling around me, crushing me. My lungs were filled up leaving no room for air. Was I dying?

I was thrown into the darkness of the sea, my lungs burning as I fought the heavy currents. I kicked my legs desperately. I broke through the surface of the water, gasping for air, coughing up salt. The remains of the plane were sinking rapidly into the abyss. I swam. I screamed her name into the open ocean until my voice cracked. The waves kept pulling me under, heavy and suffocating.

My lungs screamed for air, but I kept going. I couldn’t let her go. Not like this. The water grew heavier, darker, as I reached the bottom of the pond. My heart thundered in my chest, panic swirling in my gut as I searched blindly. She had to be here. She had to be. Tatiana wouldn’t just... give up. Not like this. This wasn’t how she said goodbye. Not tonight. … Edeline Chilly. Gloomy. The icy water stole my breath as I glanced around. It was pitch dark beneath the surface, and I could not see anything below. Plus, I was running out of air.

I will not die. I will not let them be the reason I die. I fight back.
