The stream leading towards the ocean bubbled rapidly as water rushed and crashed against the jagged rocks. Bubbles and sea spray filled the air, and somewhere along the ripples the droplets of water created, dark blood blossomed in the water.

On one of the rocks, a girl in bluish green robes lay across it. A deep grash opened her forehead, blood trickling from it. Her breathing was shallow and quick, and underneath her matted hair, her eyelids were fluttering, as if she was trying to escape a bad dream that was her reality.

Somewhere from her robes, a white glow pulsed.

More water crashed around her, and just by the rock she was on, the stream suddenly swirled around, and before long, it became a vortex, opening down into the depths underneath.

The water that crashed around her soon nudged her to the edge, where she rolled over into it. A gasp slipped from her lips as she went under, the water closing up the hole that it opened. And just as she went down, a fin could be seen, flashing in and out of existence in mere seconds as the water continued bubbling merrily on its way.
