Chapter 57: The sacred Cenote

"No matter how you put it, this is just a small pond." Nika said as she was taking off her shoes to take a swim in the water.

"No, it's not a pond, it's a Cenote! They're usually pretty deep and can be dangerous to go in if you don't know them well. Also..." Uriel explained and attempted to warn Nika, but she cut him short.

"You're going to tell ME about Cenotes!? I was born in Mexico, I know all there is to know about Cenotes! Besides I'm a heavenly rank so I can take good care of myself." Nika scoffed and jumped into the water from the rocky height they were in which was about thirty meters.

"You really don't need to worry about her Mister Sage, she's not lying about being a heavenly rank." Flanagan added.

"I do believe her, it's not really about safety in this case, it's just that..." Uriel's voice was muffled by a loud shriek coming from below. Only when Nika's loud yelling and cursing finally subsided, he continued. "The waters of 'Ik Kil' has been stagnant for years."
