Chapter 14

Almost all of the water rushed up around me like it was being sucked up through a giant vacuum.

I had a few seconds of air before a bubble of water formed around me where gravity remained.

The force of all the water flying upward was enough to loosen the rocks that pinned my leg, and I managed to pull it free. The ice platform that held Yasha and Iris was flying up toward the rocky outcroppings on the ceiling at a breakneck speed, but I was going to put an end to that.

I only left the orb activated for a split second before I tapped it again and turned the gravity back on. The water dropped down like it was being spilled from a bucket, and I saw the ice platform, as well as the stones that had tried to kill me drop back down to their proper places in the lake.

Thankfully, I was cushioned by my own bubble of water as everything struck down again, and so I wasn’t subject to the bone-crushing, concussive force of the water slamming down into the ground once more. My lungs were burning, and if it hadn’t been for the split second when the water around me cleared, I would have been fucked.

I paddled up toward the surface faster than I think I had ever swam before. My vision was still fuzzy, but I wasn’t going to let that stop me.

I wasn’t about to fucking die here, no way, no how.

I burst up from the surface of the water and gasped for air. It was the sweetest thing I had ever tasted, and a joyful, disbelieving laugh bubbled up from my mouth.

“Wes!” Yasha screamed my name, and the relief on her face was clearly evident. She and Iris had made it to the other side of the lake, and the Frost Orb was nowhere in sight.

The rumbling in the cavern hadn’t ceased yet, however, and I wasn’t about to wait around for another rock to drag me under the surface.

I started to paddle as well as I could toward the two of them and dodged and weaved to avoid the hunks of rock still falling from the ceiling. It seemed like the pace of the collapse had started to slow, or maybe I was just imagining it in my delight at being alive. The cold of the water seeped all the way down into my bones as my Smelter’s Maile seemed twice as heavy suddenly, but I didn’t even care. I was just too damn glad to not be in a watery grave.

I dragged myself out of the water and onto the rocky platform with both of their help and flopped onto my back as soon as I was fully free of the water. The ledge where the doorway sat was thankfully blocked off from the section of the cavern still prone to collapse by its own smooth, stone ceiling, and that felt like a blessing in and of itself.

“Holy shit,” I coughed and water came up from my throat.
