She was drowning. Again. Her secrets, heavy and impressing, were dragging her down, down, down into the depths, and all Relyne could do was watch helplessly as her fears dragged her away from the light. 
	Relyne had been caught. She had taken such measures, such precautions, that she had thought, rather arrogantly, that she couldn't be caught. But she had. And now she was paying the price for her arrogance. The light was fading by the second, causing Relyne to stare at it hazily, her lungs constricting. 
	Light-headed, she released her last bubble of air mistakenly and watched in horror as the light, silvery orb floated upwards, heading where she couldn't-the light. Because she was anything but pure. And she didn't belong anywhere where the light was. The faint glow of the surface faded out completely and Relyne closed her eyes with a sinking-yet oddly buoyant-finality, her blue lips curving up in her last smile.
