Capítulo 305: Unyielding Heart (2)

"Kai!" Aoife's scream was muffled by the waves that quickly covered me. 

Pain jolted throughout my body as I slowly sank into the depths. It took me a moment before I could move. I tried to swim up, back to the surface as the waves tried to pull me away from the shore. My lungs burned as I tried to reach the surface. My entire body ached, though my spell had already started healing me.

When I finally broke through the surface of the water, my vision had already begun to blur from the lack of air. I swam to the black sand shore, then crawled my way away from the water.

I forced myself to stand up despite my shaky legs. As soon as I did so, I felt magic up above. 

I didn't need to even glance there. I knew it was Rohir. He knew this fall wouldn't kill me, so he had waited for me to crawl to the shore. 

"You're just like them, crawling back up whenever we try to rush you."
