Y/N's POV
I bent an air bubble around my head so I could breathe, but I couldn't see anything- it was dark and cold.
I bent myself further from the boat before pulling my head above the waves and screaming,
"IROH!?"
But the only response I received was the roar of thunder.
My heart was pounding, I turned my head and scanned the surface of the water as the lightning gave me a split second to see, but he wasn't there.
I dove back down and bent myself elsewhere, fighting against the current.
When I pulled myself back up again I screamed out once again,
"IROH!? IROH!?"
But he didn't respond.
No... no. I've lost him... I've lost Iroh...
The rain bucketed down over my head as I wiped my eyes, squinting them and trying to make out where he might be.
I couldn't see the ships anymore, but then again, I couldn't even see my own hands in this darkness.
I cried out as my tears joined the salt water soaking into my skin,
"IROH!?"
My heart physically hurt as I came to the realisation that I wasn't going to find him.
But still I turned around and screamed out:
"IROH!?"
But he didn't respond.
The waves violently crashed back into the sea and the roar thunder filled the skies.
My body was shaking, but not because I was cold- I was scared, I had never been so scared in my entire life.
I couldn't find him.
I couldn't find Iroh.
"IROH!?"
"GENERAL IROH!?"
"IROH!?"
"IROH!?"
"PRINCE IROH!?"
"PLEASE, ANSWER ME!"
"MY LOVE!?"
I felt my voice crack as a continued to scream.
"IROH!? PLEASE!"
But again, the only response was the sound of thunder mocking me.
I laid my head back and floated as the waves folded over me again and again, constantly choking up the salty water.
What am I supposed to do now?
I was stuck at sea, at night, in a storm, I've instructed everyone on board our ships to go below deck and Iroh is missing.
No, I can't give up.
"IROH!?"
No response.
I took a deep breath and dove below water before shooting myself in another direction and pulling myself back above the waves.
