"An apple a day keeps the doctor away."

"Not if you are bleeding profusely."

--------------------------------------------------

The moon hung low in the night sky, casting an eerie glow over the vast expanse of the ocean. The air was thick with salt and dampness, and waves crashing against the shore echoed ominously in the distance.

As Lloyd stood in his pj's on the deserted beach, a sense of unease crept over him like a shadow. The water seemed to beckon, its dark depths calling out to him with a sinister allure.

Lloyd looked around, hesitating, feeling a primal fear clawing at the edges of his mind, yet he didn't know what he was afraid of. Something compelled the blonde forward, drawing him inexorably toward the water's edge.

With each step, the sand beneath his feet grew colder, and the sound of the waves grew louder, almost deafening in its intensity. He reached the water's edge, and a shiver ran down his spine as the first icy wave washed over his feet.

Suddenly, the sea seemed alive, its black surface churning and writhing like a living creature. Shapes moved beneath the surface, indistinct and monstrous, making him now understand his fear.

As Lloyd tried to turn back and flee from the ocean's grasp, a powerful force seized hold of him, dragging Lloyd into the icy depths below. His eyes snapped shut as he tried to yell, only for his lungs to fill with icy water.

As Lloyd sank deeper and deeper into the darkness, a sense of suffocating dread consumed him. His eyes shot open as he tried to swim up. Shadows danced around him, their twisted forms mocking his futile attempts to escape.

Lloyd struggled against the crushing pressure of the water, his lungs burning for air as he descended further into the abyss. Strange, otherworldly creatures swam past him, their eyes gleaming with evil intelligence.

And then, just as you felt your strength slipping away, you saw a monstrous silhouette lurking in the darkness below. Its eyes burned with cold, ancient hatred, and its gaping maw stretched impossibly wide, ready to devour him whole. Lloyd braced for it to eat him but soon opened his eyes when he found himself on top of the water's surface. He wasn't walking on the water, but the back of the monstrous creature was keeping him above the water.

It was then Lloyd realized he could breathe. His green eyes scanned the scene, looking from one place to another. The sunset was deep, making the water look maroon. Lloyd felt at peace despite the earlier fear. Soon, the water showed Harumi having captured Lloyd and Y/n. Lloyd had Vengestone chains likely to block his powers, and the scene changed to a scene where the ninja saved Lloyd, but Y/n didn't make it out.

Then, the world seemed to collapse, and he was submerged in freezing water. Lloyd gasped for air, and panic-filled green eyes looked around the room. Seeing the guest room on Destiny's Bounty, he sat up and exited his bed. "What was that?... Is it about what is in the scroll?"
