The whole cult was inside the lake, even the leader, who remanded with his blue cloak and hood. The water was brighter than before; they could even see the bottom. The face of astonishment were on everybody, even on jerry's, but he knew what's going to happen next, and made him even more anxious to see other's reactions. While they were having fun in the water, Paul looked unconscious on the lake's shore, but inside of his mind was happening something equally fantastic.

Paul green opened his eyes to a voice calling his name, and he found himself laid on the floor in the darkness, he felt his body heavy and stiff, he always had thought this is how a boxer might feel after the tenth round. He tried to move his head, and a pain traveled though his spine up to his blackhead. His left arm was numb, trying to move it was a stupid idea to attempt, his body was like a bag of ground beef, beaten up to death. Once again the same voice called his name, Paul, it said. So he tried to move again not paying attention to his pain, this time he pulled off to get on his feet, he really wanted to go where the voice was calling his name. He walked and finally found a light there in the distance, he ran to approach it, while he was getting closer, the voice called one again, come on, Paul, this time the voice vas very familiar to him, he had listened to it before, but he couldn't remember where neither when.

When the light was surrounding him, saw a woman dressed with a white cloak was giving him her back. He ran towards her full of excitement and wishful to see who she was, but once he was a few feet behind the beautiful woman, a dense and white mist appeared making him impossible to see beyond his nose. The strange change in the weather carried a strong smell of lavender which forced Paul stayed still, he knew who was there in front of him a second ago, his muscles were stiff and his heart pumping like never had done before. In the whiteness, he felt a hand touching his naked left shoulder, so he turned around and saw nothing there except the same white scene. Then he saw a hand approaching to his face, it was a big black hand, its fingers were large and thick filthy with mud, the fingernails were dirty large and broken. When it touched his face, all in the sudden the mist was gone and he was in the middle of the lake, the water was lighted with a beautiful but strange and mysterious blue light, making the bottom completely visible. Paul knew where he was, and a weird feeling invaded his veins, he had been here before, but he didn't know when. Trying to search for his house was impossible, because he could see nothing but blue shining and crystal clear water.

Come here, Paul, the female and sweet voice said and Paul knew where to go, so he immerged into the depth. Submerging was an experience he had never before, the water was thin and easy to swim in, the more he went in the bottom, the more he wanted to stay there, it was warm and nice. For one second he thought it was how he felt when he was inside his mother's womb, but he quickly removed that morbid and odd reflexing. Keep going, you are almost there, the voice said. For some reason his breath wasn't an issue for him, so Paul got in the bottom end of the lake with no problems whatsoever. When he touched the ground the water disappeared and he was there alone and scared laid on the ground.
