Tadpole - Atsushi's POV

Me and Akutagawa were starting to wonder where we could find some of the items on the list, it was very confusing.
Where in the forest can you find a crystal ring or a lamp?

And we still have this stupid box with us. Hintara told us not to open it but she never told us what was inside...

Akutagawa: There has to be a place where all these strange items are hidden.

Atsushi: I figured that much but lucky us, we don't have a map, it's already been 20 mins, that means we only have 1hr and 10mins before we get separated.

Akutagawa: Don't you think there might be a possibility we could find a map?

Atsushi: There is but it would most likely be where we could find these other items so either way, it would be the same situation.

While we were walking we came across a huge lake. This is probably where we could find the 13 red fish scales, tadpoles, eye of a fish and maybe we could find a blue frog in the trees surrounding the lake.

Atsushi: You can go ahead and search in the trees and area around the lake for a blue frog I'll go into the lake and see if I can find anything from the list.

Akutagawa: Do you think that lake is safe to swim in?

Atsushi: I'm not sure but I think it would be best if I just jumped in. There isn't really a way to determine unless we try.

Akutagawa: Ok then

Akutagawa stands for a few seconds, waiting for me to jump in so he can go and search.

I jumped in the lake and to my surprise, it looked beautiful. It was gigantic, it looked like I was swimming in the ocean, I decided to start looking for anything, I had to time myself properly - I could drown if I'm not careful. I decided to swim to the bottom to see how deep it was.

I felt the presence of something large behind me, when I turned around I found a tadpole, but not just any tadpole, it was the height and width of three fully grown humans; it was astounding! I have to admit It was horrifying at first but then, after looking at it for a couple of seconds, it didn't seem that scary.

One problem though. How on earth are we supposed to transport this? The casket is large but not that large.
I was starting to suffocate, was I really going to swim up and leave the tadpole? It could swim away and for all we know, this could be the only tadpole here.

I decided to try and pull the tadpole up with me. I grabbed the tadpole by the tail and tried to swim upwards, it got scared and tried to swim away, I was starting to suffocate even more. Everything was starting to get blurry, I was loosing conciseness. I had to think of something quick or I would drown.

The tadpole seemed to be swimming the opposite way. So if I changed directions... The tadpole might too! It might not work but It's worth a try.

While grabbing the tadpole's tail, I turned around so my back would face the bottom and I could pull the tadpole back. I was using alot of energy so I was almost completely out of breath, I felt everything slowly turn black, I tried my best to stay conscious. Luckily the tadpole was now swimming to the surface like I had imagined. I tried my best to stay awake.

The tadpole was swimming at an immense speed so it didn't take long for us to reach the surface. The tadpole was swimming so fast that when we got propelled in the air and onto the ground.

When we hit the ground, the impact caused me to completely pass out.

That's the end of this chapter.
I'm sorry ik it's short (╥﹏╥)
But, BUT! in the next chapter, your going to finally see Akutagawa's POV and what he was thinking throughout these 4 chapters and what he did while Atsushi was in the lake.
So it's going to be a really long chapter (I think, I haven't written it yet)
I expect Akutagawa's POV chapter to be divided into two parts or more.

(I'm going to update the titles for the first 3 chapters so don't get confused)

Bye and thank you for reading
