The Pact

This was how he died. He just knew it. Water would flood his lungs at any moment, and the only thing that would be left would be death.

But when the water around him began to bubble violently; everything changed.

His eyes grew wider as he finally picked out the general shape of something humanoid, and that something was moving upward from under the water.

What was coming, and what did it mean?
