I throw the eel bucket into the water. My hands were shaking. I can feel his eyes on me. That's terrifying. I can feel him looking at me. He saw me. He saw me. My hands were shaking. I bite my lip. Should I leave? Should I run again? I can't break Karou and the other's heart. Bu then again... how can I stand here? How can I wait for him to snuff me out. The river has become restless.

I see it rocking. I turn and grip my sword. I can feel the rage. I look down and I realize the earth was shaking. I slam itno the ground. Is this some giant earthquake? The water rises like waves. I draw back. Something shoots out of the water. A shape forming a monster. I jump sideways and avoid it. I see a dragon. It glares at me. My eyes widen. My hands start shaking. It charges once again. I take out my sword.

"You are just an illusion!" I yell.

I slam my sword into it. It grabs my arm. I wince.

"Oh... you're not." I look at its' glowing eyes.

It throws me into the river. Not good. Not good. I try to shoot up but something's pulling me down. I look down and I see figures in the water. Mermaids or corpses? I couldn't say. Were they.... my old crew? 

Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves!
