Lysander watched from the main deck as Zyair and Daycia waded around in the shallow water just off the small island the people of Gaeth called Warden. They'd moored on the other side of a cliff, out of view of Gaeth and whatever weapon Emmaray was using to hurl lava rocks at them.

They'd taken a few more shots before deciding to turn around in all haste to give the appearance of fleeing. Lysander didn't think Emmaray would be so fooled, but it didn't matter because so far, they didn't see any of the war canoes coming after them.

"Are you sure we're in the right spot?" Lysander asked, growing impatient with every second spent at sea.

Daycia waved dismissively at Lysander. "I know there are lava tunnels around here. I just need to find the one big enough for us to fit through. The one that I'm sure will lead back to the main island," she said, not bothering to spare a glance away from the water.

Lysander didn't like the idea of traveling in some underwater tunnel, the thought of the ocean pressing in around him. He would rather take his chances with the lava cannons and pray that the ship could out-maneuver any slow-moving rocks. But even if they did, as Daycia pointed out, there would likely be a legion of soldiers waiting on the beach for them. Lysander didn't want to fight his way to Emmaray from beach to capitol. The odds were stacked against them as it was. He didn't need his impatience getting them all killed.

"If you told me exactly what to look for at least I could help," Lysander said. He jumped the three feet into the water. It was surprisingly warm. This time of year, the beaches around Caledon were good for nothing but fishing because they were cold enough to do damage. Here he was knee deep and Lysander wouldn't have minded taking a little swim.

Daycia motioned him over. "Stick your foot over here," she said pointing down to the water off to her left. "Do you feel that suction?"

Lysander nodded feeling along the edge of a hard surface.

"That's the opening of the small tube. It would never fit us, but I know for a fact that there's one that will, and it leads back to Gaeth. I've come out of it before. Head over to that outcropping and look for pockets of suction, just be careful because the larger they are, the easier it is to get sucked in."

"Got it, don't worry." Lysander waded out until he was just within sight of Daycia and Zyair. The jagged coastline of the unpopulated island looked like a maniacal smile glowering over them as they wasted time kicking around in the shallows.

Lysander started at the point he was calling the dimple and moved away from Daycia toward the backside of Warden and the cooling breeze that came with the open ocean. Lysander found the edge of one tube, but a quick exploration with his hand made it clear his shoulders wouldn't make it past the opening.
