" i dont dare let darkness have it's way with me "

finnloch gave a puff of air, struggling to signal her gratitude to fin for coming to help her. panting she struggled to put her head above water, "my child, you didn't need to come assist me ... we would have made it somehow." she rasped, voice thick with exhaustion.

kicking her legs feebly she could feel them burning, her body feeling heavy. clearing her throat she struck out for shore, aiming to lead the way even though she was nothing more lighter than a twig tossed about the rapids.

the water threatened her, stealing whatever precious air she gasped as she coughed, "take him first! i thought i saw someone!" of course, she was bluffing, but she wouldn't let it show. she just needed a moment to catch her breath without them worrying over her ...

she felt a sharp pain in her side so painfully sudden, slipping underneath the water with a faint cry of pain, claws out yet useless against the liquid enemy. water rushed into her mouth, filling her lungs and nose as the tree that had slammed into her, tossed her about under the surface.
c'mon lass ... it's not yet time to guide the dying up to the stars, nor is it time for you to return to the sea foam! she hissed in thought, fighting her way to the surface once more, gagging on the briney taste of the river water and sea water.
