We fall down the cliff. Tried coming out of my eyes thinking this is my last breath. The stranger grabs ahold of me and brings me close to his body. His armor gets in the way but I lay my head down on his shoulder. But I'm utterly confused when we drop into water. Swimming toward the surface I try to swim but I haven't swam since school nearly a decade ago. The water underthings me shoots me up and lands me safely ashore. Catching my breath the stranger approaches me armor completely dry.
"Cough it up, return the water to the ocean if you will."
The cheesiest smile crosses his face. I get up and give him a respond with a good slap upside the head.
"What the hell were you thinking. You gave me a heart attack. You could have at least told me that there was water at the bottom."
Coming into realization how tightly I held him made me blush. He grabs my checks.
"Ahhhh. Are you blushing? Let's see!"
As he guides my face into the light. I pull away but his grip is tight.
"Stop it!"
"Ah so it is true!"
"Where are we?"
"What was America, now called the land of dreams."
"Wait so if people died in America."
"They can't be retrieved. Not after how long you have been in there. But any way let's stop dreaming and start living."
A dragon rises up out of the water shaking the island and scooping us up in it's grip.
"I always enjoy an afternoon swim." The dragon says the stranger nodding in agreement.
