The whirlpool pulled him down rapidly into its silent depths. Clive tried to swim upwards but as he was being twirled around so much that he lost his sense of direction. His vision blurry and his lungs filled with water, he was barely alive.
With a last bit of energy he tried.... tried to swim to the surface. But it was all for naught. The force pulled him down. 'Mina is safe.... that's all that matters.... I hope Reya is somewhere safe as well,' he thought, finally closing his eyes.
Just a few meters away, Reya and her friends found shelter from the whirlpool inside a ship wreck.
Reya peered out with a frown. "We should have guesses it. This is one of the dangerous areas that old monk mentioned. But I didn't expect that this place had swallowed so many ships like these,"
"Look, look, I see another ship being pulled in," Haily exclaimed loudly.
A huge black ship was slowly being dragged into the depths and its rear part loudly banged onto the ground, making the water murky.
