Atnem walked along the beach of this blood red sea. He had felt drawn to this place. There was something out here that needed his attention. But what? There was nothing to be found for miles. "I have to go out there." He thought. "Maybe even down there." He dove into the water, struggling against it, trying to go deeper. The salt burned his eyes. It was pointless. He gasped for air, getting a breath full of water instead. He swam back to the beach, coughing up water, trying to breathe again. "That was stupid. If only I could grow some gills. Surely there's some sort of magic that can get me down there."

Rieka laughed and shook her head. "I don't know about gills, but I could probably get you down there." She jumped off the rock she was sitting on and walked to the edge of the sea peering into it's depths. "I've never tried it before but in theory it should work, I don't know how long the air would hold out though, I guess that depends on..." her voice trailed off as she knelt and began making sketches in the sand, after a few moments she shook her head and looked up at Atnem. "Whatever you're looking for I can give you four, maybe five minutes to find it."

"Hmm, four to five minutes. I don't imagine that's enough time to travel to the ocean floor and back. Still, it's better than where I'm at now." He stood up, no longer caring about the water in his lungs. "What do you have in mind?"

"Theoretically, I could cast a shield bubble around us, it would keep the water out while containing some breathable air in it. Technically I could make the bubble bigger and therefore more air, but then it becomes impossible to control it's movements and we'd probably just bob about on top of the ocean. I can use repel to propell us along down to wherever we're going. I've never done it before but the theory seems sound doesn't it?" Rieka looked at atnem as she stood up and wiped the sand off her dress.

Atnem shrugged. "It's worth a shot. At the very least we can check it out and see if it's worth investigating further." He grabbed his gear and walked to the water's edge. "Well then, ready when you are."

Then Romulus appeared a behind Rieka and said, "So you guy are going to try and search in the sea? Well I overheard what you two are planning on doing and I though that maybe able to help you guys. If you are willing to change your plan a little."

Rieka threw her hands up in exasperation. "Are you stalking me? everywhere I go you turn up, besides three people cut down on our air supply by like half. But what is you plan Mr. Stalker?"

Atnem chuckled. These two were always good company. "Alright half-vamp, show us what you've got."

"Ok well my plan is a little tiring, but is safer than going in a shield and once your air is gone you quickly try to find the shore. Ok it is I will use thrust on the water in front of us and we quickly move and search the ocean floor. While we do this Rieka will use shield to any water that starts to fall on us. That way we don't have a limited time to search the ocean floor and if it gets too bad we can go in a shield bubble and search from there. Does that sound good to you two?" Romulus said to the two of them.

"Two spells are better than one, I suppose. Alright, sounds like a plan. You two do the hard work and I'll watch for bad guys. Don't expect to find much alive in there, though. It's awfully salty. Sharp Eye!" His eyes seemed to glow slightly, and he could see a littler deeper into the water. "Can we go now? Or are we waiting for someone else to show up and cast a fancy spell?"

"Lead on Stalker man," Rieka said stretching her arms out in front of her and cracking her knuckles. "we're wasting daylight just standing around and I don't really want to be caught in the ocean at night. Oh maybe we could catch some fishies for dinner, It's been forever since I've had a nice fresh fish, oh we could wrap it in seaweed and do a beach bake..." Rieka's voice trailed off as she kept mumbling to herself.

Then Romulus faced Rieka and said, "Well if you are hungry we can get some food before we leave, but I doubt that we will find fish in this water. Also if we do eat something first maybe we should wait until morning to go through the ocean."

"Dude Joking, remember what that is? Now let's go. You don't want to camp out here either, this place is toxic. So lets make this quick." Rieka smiled at Romulus and said, "Also there are fish in this water, just not edible fish...or nice fish, another reason we should leave now."

"I don't like fish anyway. Gives me gas. Anyway, we've been on the shore for a while now, and we haven't found anything except a half-vamp and a werepuppy. Do your sparkley magic stuff. We're goin' in."

Then Romulus turned towards to sea and thrusted one of his figures back and Atnem fell face first to the ground. Then Romulus walked off towards the water and used thrust to make a path they could walk on. Then Romulus said, "Don't fall behind human," with a smirk on his face.
