No fear allowed

Shock shifted like the waves. One moment she rested in sweet oblivion and the next she realized that she would soon drown. Her lungs would fill with water and that would be the end of her. Would it be so bad? She would no longer feel this biting, stabbing cold. Fear would fade. She wouldn't have to worry about training her father's stupid children anymore even though she sort of didn't mind some of them. There would be no responsibility. She could be free. But then she thought of Naiche. She thought of Indigo. Would they miss her? She hoped they would.

Naiche spoke and she could hear his voice, but she still couldn't quite make out the words. The caliginous world slowly began to get lighter and lighter. It didn't register that this was because Naiche was slowly pulling away rock, ice and snow. The basin that she rested in continued to fill with water. Hips. Ribs. Shoulders. Neck. Cheeks. Instinctively, she turned her muzzle upwards so that she could still breathe out of her nose. Ears and eyes were still above the water when he unearthed her and the young woman's galaxy gaze rested on his golden face momentarily.

As Naiche carefully pushed the rock off of the slab of ice that was holding her legs down, Asla felt a little pinch of pain, but it was soon replaced by the aching pins and needles that returned blood flow brought. He spoke to her again and Aslatiel furrowed her brow, trying to figure out what he was saying. She was freed from her trap, but being so long in the freezing water had taken its toll. Still attempting to focus on his face, the striped fae slowly drifted completely below the frigid, murderous water. Ah, there it was. The end. It had taken two tries, but in the end it was the water that got her.
