Before I know it the ground has disappeared and I'm completely drowned in an unexpected plunge of water. It envelops me from every angle so fast I have almost no time to hold my breath before I'm rushed into the cold. Dipping my tongue out I recognize it to be too salt to be an ocean. A lake.
Then again we traveled from Earth to find a toxic moon that contorts people into homicidal maniacs so what do I really know?
Kicking my feet I swim after Echo, Gabriel, and Hope who seem to already be at the surface.
Breaking from the water I cough and splutter the water that my body couldn't quite seem to get out. Snapping my head around for a threat I feel confused to not find any. Considering the tech suits those men had been wearing I expected something a little more Vulcan in appearance. However, I'm only met with more dense forests and hills that loom high above the lake.
"Welcome to SkyRing" Hope wishes us as my gaze stares into the fluffy clouds.
Gaze catching the soft indication of a silver ring in the atmosphere, I can't help but giggle "God irony you sweet bitch."
"I named it when I was three", Hope trends water, defensively stating "What did you expect?"
Arching my eyebrow, I catch Gabriel's eye and he tilts his head thoughtfully "Looks like she remembers."
{}{}{}
Quickly swimming to shore it becomes rather apparent Hope's regained her memories. She's lived here- lives here. When she reaches the shore Hope doesn't loiter around and begins sprinting up the sandy shore like a madwoman on a mission. Close by Echo as soon as our feet reach the shore we begin jogging after her. "My gun", Echo complains, cursing "I lost it coming through."
"Let's hope you don't need it!" Gabriel calls after us as we rush the shore. He doesn't fall far behind but it's obvious where everyone lies on the warrior spectrum. Gabriel is further at the bottom. Unlike me, Gabriel is a more science doctor than he is a warrior. It's apparent in the way he lags his pace in our chase of Hope into the woods. Whilst I keep speed with Echo we run quickly after Hope.
