I tumbled through the water. My limbs scraped painfully against the sand and I couldn't breathe. I swim in the direction I think is up. I break the surface and take in a small breath before getting rolled all over the sea. My head is fuzzy but try to remember what to do.

I stay underwater and swim towards the break of the waves. I can feel each giant wave hurtle me backwards but I push forward. My eyes have a dull sting from the salt and my body feels like it's in liquid fire. But I keep going. My lungs hurt but I know I can't swim to the surface to get air.

Soon my head feels cloudy and light and my muscles aren't pushing as hard. Black softens my line of vision and I try to get rid of the feeling. I feel each wave crash over the water above me. Bubbles swarm around my eyes like a hive of angry bees.

My chest is on fire. Everything hurts and I'm getting tired. I try to fight the temptation...but I can't. I let go of my breath and let the ocean fill me.

I wake up somewhere cool and dark. Something rough is under my hands, like sand. I flex my fingers and they dig into whatever is under me. Sand. Definitely sand. I move my toes and try to move my limbs. I feel like Zeus struck me with lightning while Hephaestus beat me with a hammer while I was being drown by Poseidon.

I can feel the torn shreds of my clothing flitting around me. Hopefully, my skin isn't too bad.

I don't know how much time passes before I'm able to move my left leg. Then my right. My right arm popped painfully as I moved it and finally my left arm was free. I pried open my eyes and slowly sat up. Dizziness rushes over me in torrents. I gather myself and notice something. No light.

I hear the faint swooshing of the ocean, nearby. My hands are outstretched as I walk around in immense darkness. Nothing but air swirls around my hand then...then something hard ghosts over my fingertips. I put my palm on it. Cold, damp, and pock marks. Rock. Rock.

I'm in a cave. But where at on the island?
