The Narrative was gone. But that was the least of Fodder’s concerns.

“Gaaaahhhhh!” he shrieked.

Wind, entirely unaided by any magical conceits, battered at his plummeting body, twisting him, slapping him, rattling his armour. His stomach had already been left far behind as he blinked through streaming eyes at the rapidly approaching swirl of the Tumbling River below them. He could still feel the hair of the writhing princess gripped in his left hand; the arm of a keening, whimpering, plunging Shoulders in his right; and Flirt’s hands gripping at the back of his belt frantically as they fell together in one big, messy ball of limbs and armour.

“Keep together!” he screamed. “We have to stay attached!”

He could feel that Flirt had already locked one of her arms through his sword belt and he saw the second lash out to drag Shoulders into their huddle as well. With very little concession to delicacy, Fodder yanked the now free, thrashing, and, in spite of the muffling effect of the gag, really rather impressively screaming princess into his arms as best he could and prayed she would be washed along with them. They would sink like a stone when they hit the water, but a bit of drowning they could survive as long as they weren’t separated.

The water rocketed up to meet them.

Fodder gritted his teeth. This was going to hurt.

He was right.

He managed one foggy half-second of damp consciousness as the water closed over him, but then the combined weight of three armoured bodies dragged all four of them downwards. A moment later, darkness engulfed him and dragged him into silence.
