Project cosmos: The Golden Ring

The Water Slide of Doom

Latona and I ran passed the monster without it noticing us. We found the hill where Travis had fell. It was facing east, of course. And the wind was slightly blowing in the same direction.
"I guess we go this way," I said.
I knelt down on the muddy hill and looked down. For some reason, I couldn't see the bottom. Latona noticed that as well.
"How high up are we?" I asked.
"Only a couple hundred feet above sea level. I think this thing goes underground..."
"Do we just slid down it?"
"I guess so. Let's just hope Travis is waiting for us. And not some nasty monster,"
"Ya..."
Latona sat down next to me.
"You ready to go down?" she asked.
I nodded, but I really wasn't ready at all. Then Latona pushed me. I could feel the mud flying up behind me as I slid. But then I realized that the mud was getting thinner and thinner by the second. Within a minute of sliding, the mud had turned to water. I was just barely able to keep myself from sinking.
When I had been sliding for a long time, the water became littered with trash. Things were sticking out of the hill.
"Latona? I don't think this is a good sign..." I yelled back to my friend.
"You would be right there..." she replied.
I watched as Latona grabbed onto a piece of driftwood and hopped onto it. I tried to do the same, but I had one problem. There were no piece of wood by me. Just... a sheet of metal the color of my sword....
I grabbed the metal as pulled myself onto it. I then decided to use my sword as an oar to steer away from the obstacles.
"I'm starting to doubt my ability to steer myself," I said to Latona. I had already hit a good amount of trash and dirt mounds. Shiru had become a dirt magnet. All I could hear in the background was the muddy water and Latona laughing. And I still couldn't see the bottom of the hill.
"Does this thing even have a bottom?" Latona asked me.
"I'm not sure anymore. I can't see how this hill follows the laws of physics...How do you even get water on a hill like this?" I shouted back. The water was becoming clear now. There was no mud or trash in sight. And the dirt mounds... let's just say they could now stab someone. They had solidified into pointed rocks. And the water was getting faster by the second. My metal raft was being torn up by the rocks under the water's surface. And Latona's wood piece was just a stick now.
"This water slide wants to kill us," I mumbled.
Then I saw the bottom.. It came like a flash of lightning. We saw it, then it struck us. Before I knew it, we passed out on the grass, Shiru and Latona right next to me. Then the world went black.
