Bab 280: Does size really matter?

I fell on water and saw the fiery hell I'd created. The fire was so hot, I could feel it even from underwater. 

I should have taken this a bit more seriously. 

I should have known there were people here who'd risk their lives for me. 

And yet- like the moron I was, I just let myself be eaten and thought I could get away with a blast like that. 

Damn!

The water was cold and it kind of wanted to drag me deep. 

It took a moment but Sig too fell in the water along with the snake's body and his body was going down fast. I tried to swim, but I wasn't fast enough. 

Instead, some lizard men went for him. 

Meanwhile, I went up and breathed. One of the lizard men helped me too.

EXHALE!

INHALE!

I was so out of breath!

The lizard men brought Sig out of the water. I'd formed another barrier as footing. I was holding on to the barrier like a raft while they got Sig on it and lied him there.
