Conor's POF
Rylyn just dives into the water! With absolutely no thought whatsoever! I don't wanna lose her as well as Annie! Oh no. Oh no. Oh no.
She better be careful. It's so dark in there; she won't be able to see!
Minutes pass. We anxiously await at the edge of the water. Oh no. I can't even help. Chiron paces beside me. Just as I was about to lose all hope and head back to my cabin, something surfaces a good few metres out. No... someone! They swim in towards us, as they get closer I can make out two heads, two people. One has her arm around the other and is helping her swim in. Rylyn and Annie! Oh thank the gods, they're safe! Oh we couldn't be losing another camper.
Annie splutters and coughs on the ground when she reaches us, she naturally loves water - so do I - but that lake is extremely dark and hard to swim through, so we usually avoid it. Rylyn looks at her worriedly and keeps her arms around her until she stops shaking.
"Annie!" I try to say, but my voice only comes out as a hoarse whisper, "Are you okay?!" I kneel down in front of them. Chiron tells the other campers to go back to their own business, and, reluctantly, they do.
"I'm... Okay." Annie decides and smiles faintly. What was she doing in there? Ugh I wanted to get mad but I just couldn't. I had questions to ask but felt that now wasn't the right time.
Annie and I gasp at the same time.
"What?" Rylyn asks, confused.
Above her head is a glowing Trident; the symbol of Poseidon. Rylyn looks up as the Trident begins to fade.
"You have been determined." Chiron says quietly. Woah! I forgot he was there!
"So that's why you could stay under water so long!" I mutter.
"Long? How long was I in there?" Rylyn asks.
"Um... Longer than any normal person." Apparently Annie had fallen off her Pegasus during her flying lesson, and Rylyn had found her, just in the nick of time. Annie has this talent where she can hold her breath for really long; sometimes minutes at a time! But how had Rylyn kept her safe under there? Even though she can hold her breath, she still can't breathe underwater - unlike Rylyn.
We show Rylyn to the Posiedon cabin, and answer any questions she had. Then Annie walks to our cabin, "You coming, Conor?" She smiles at me.
"No, I think I'm going to see Rainbow."
"Oh okay then, have fun!" She waves.
I run to the stables, finding Rainbow and taking flight, running the recent events through my mind.
