The scent of fresh seawater filled your nose as usual, the wind buffeting your face tenderly, caressing the curves of your cheeks and jawline, it was refreshing, for the sun glared down at you. A few hours had passed since your encounter with Pitch Witch, she was quite the character! You took a deep breath and stared deep down into the seawater, entranced from the glimmering reflection of water from the sun's rays. Sleepiness wrapped its tendrils around you; you felt extremely tired for some reason.

"Were here! Finally!" Memoca's voice called from behind you. You decided to stay at the back of the boat to spend some time alone, but as soon as you heard that, your head perked up and you jogged over to the front of the boat where the four of them were waiting. They all looked back at you with excitement in their eyes, even Fukami looked pleased, for an expressionless emote. They immediately boarded off, and onto the grey stone walkway the seemed to lead to a darker pool of water, that looked different than the others. It seemed almost mysterious, yet welcoming. As you followed them two crabs were guarding the entrance, they also seemed thrilled to see Wadanohara mostly, and queried that you were with them wondering where you were from, what you were, how you were, any question that popped into their heads. After feeling too overwhelmed with questions, you and the crew shrugged them off and jumped into the water. As soon as your body emerged underwater, you felt yourself get sucked under, like some force was pulling you down deeper. You automatically gasped for air, as you were suffocating and the pressure was building on you as you descended into the abyssal sea. The pressure was unbearable, you felt like your whole body was being crushed by a school bus, and your ears popped multiple times.

"Blurblib" Water started to fill your lungs, as you flailed, pain filling in your lungs; your vision was fading. All of the sudden, you could breathe, and the pressure wasn't there anymore, you coughed but found that the salty water seemed to disappear. You could see clearly in the water too, it wasn't hazy with seaweed and other nasty things from the ocean. You inhaled deeply multiple times, your heart beating against your chest. You had now reached the ocean floor, and collapsed on the ground, which was weird since you were underwater.

"Oh my goodness! (Y/N)! I totally forgot you couldn't breathe underwater!" Wadanohara knelt down in front of you with concern in her grey eyes.

"Ugh... The frickin hurt a lot..." Rubbing your temple with your left hand, you brought yourself up onto your feet, slowing down your breathing. Dolphi looked scared for a moment, and Memoca looked alarmed. "What did you do? Cast a spell on me or something?" The witch nodded, a warm smile on her face. "Thanks..." Your voice sounded coarse for a bit.

"Are you hurt? (Y/N)?" Fukami's asked, he looked concerned also. At least they seemed to care for now.

"No not anymore..." You breathed running your fingers through your (H/C) hair. "Let's get going..."
