swept away

Why he found himself traveling north of Auster was quite beyond him. Something itched under his skin that he needed a break from the day-to-day down in the bamboo. Having taken care of his net system so that it wouldn't be destroyed in his absence, he made his way up into Boreas. Entering the jungle system where he knew the wide river would lie, Kuroo kept up a good pace. It felt nice to adventure alone and see what there was to see. Nothing had changed much except for the changing of seasons.

The midday sun overhead warmed his back as he stuck to the trail leading up to the river's edge. Trying to keep his mind off of the undying questions about his family, Kuroo approached the fast-running river. Not quite the best place to fish, but he could find something. Curious, the mottled wolf dipped a paw into the chilly water. Gritting his teeth against the cold, he took another step in.

Before he knew it, he was being swept away. A loud yelp left his lips as he fought against the current. Completely soaked and slightly scared, Kuroo frantically got his wits about him and looked for something to latch onto. As he was swept away, he saw a large branch hanging out over the river. It would be his only chance of survival. Inhaling a deep breath, Kuroo reached up and grabbed ahold of the branch. With his lower half in the water, he struggled to hold on. "Help, please!" He called out as loud as he could over the rush of the water. Hoping someone would come along and save him.
