I feel the blood drip down my face. It doesn't hurt that bad. I grip the mask. I'm almost glad I can't see myself in the water's reflection. I need somewhere to place my mask. I walk around feeling the rocks. I'm looking for a ledge. I feel around.
The rocks feel generally smooth. I take another step. The rocks beneath the water are more slippery than I thought. I need to be careful. I hear the waterfall's sound getting closer and closer. I reach my hand out. I feel the water. I form a cup shape with my fingers. I slowly feel the water touch my lips. I drink it. I haven't been able to drink that much. I let go of the wall.
I hear the mask drop. I feel it slip out of my hands and splash into the water. I let out a breath. I use my free hand to cup more water and sip it sparingly. I reach my hands into the water. I'll have to feel around for the mask. My hands feel the cold floor. I move them slowly and carefully. Then I feel pain. I feel my hand rake across a sharp... thing. I yank it out of the water. I hear blood dripping.
"Wei Ying." Lan Zhan says behind me.
