The End Is What You Fear [Ophie]

The world was strange, scary and getting worse with each passing night. Leaving the safety of the Armadas borders felt like a risk not worth taking and yet Ophie couldn't really help herself, as though she was tethered to an invisible force as it tugged her out of her den. She wandered through the long grass, in a sleep-walking daze as she headed north. Only to really come back to her senses as she came across what was supposed to be the familiar shores of the Grande. Except it wasn't safe or familiar at all. It didn't dawn on her how close she'd wandered to the water's edge before it was too late and the inevitable happened. As though this had been someone, or something's plan from the very start.

Blinking at the sudden change in lighting-and oh man was it bright- Ophie drastically misjudged where the river edge met open water. She didn't even register that she wasn't alone, nor that the stranger had tossed a stick into the river, churning up the waters as it swelled and roiled. Eager to pull Ophie into its embrace. The mud gave way beneath her paw, squishing downwards as she lost her balance and was sent hurtling down the steep bank. Imagine a ball rolling down a hill.

The glow of the algae hurtled towards her, seemingly thrumming in beat with the racing of her panicked heart. And then everything went black as the cold water shocked her system, causing Ophie to breath in a lung full of air as she sunk, limbs failing as she stared up at the neon blue of the surface above.
