Capítulo 167: It's all in your head

With Kal long gone from sight, and the slowly dawning realisation that the dread in my stomach will never fully boil over, I steel my nerves for the dive below, mentally preparing myself for what I might find. From the surface, the depths below appear almost bottomless, and endless mirage of rippling waves and murky pitch darkness. But the growth of plant life stemming up from far beneath tells me this place has a bottom to it- however far down that might be.

Biting my cheeks to reduce the shivering quiver of fearful anticipation that gnaws at my gut, I sink myself lower into the water. Well, I think reluctantly to myself, might as well make myself useful.

Sucking in a breath, I submerge myself under, dragging my body down into the water, letting myself once again sink beneath the icy blanket of waves.
