SIGMUND
Character | @username OOC:
Sigmund crouched at the edge of the gorge, squinting, peering down into the endless darkness. His heart pounded as he tried to fathom what could possibly exist in that pit, before he would find out for real. Everyone he asked, including Akhil and Titanius, teasingly refused to tell him what was down there, and now the itch of curiosity was getting the better of him.
Closing his eyes, he concentrated for a moment, then sang out a bout of song down to the pit, listening and feeling for responses in the form of sound that bounced back in contact with something. The sound map showed him an image of water, and he tilted his head, frowning. That was it? Just water? That was the big secret? Then, another thought struck him.
Where did it lead? There had to be an end. It was an underground river...
Taking a deep breath, Sigmund sang as hard as he could, projecting the notes down into the water as far as he could. The sound disappeared, and never came back. Sigmund frowned, and tried again. This time, he heard very faint sounds coming back to him. So there was a bottom, after all.
Suddenly, the entire river lit up, and Sigmund gasped. There must be organisms down there that were luminescent. It was beautiful, but it only lasted a moment. For a moment, he saw all the water, still mysteriously dark despite the glow. Well, then. He would have to see for himself.
Sucking in another breath, Sigmund closed his eyes. "Well, here I go," he said to himself, and dived in.
The water was cold, for it was underground. Sigmund swam deeper into the depths, squinting. He could not use echoprojections, or else he would run out of breath. He would just have to feel his way around. He paddled forward for a while, then hit a wall. Hm. Well, time to go right-- another wall. Left? Nope. His only hope was upward, then, and he would have to do it fast-- he was already running out of oxygen.
He propelled himself upwards with his elongated body, slithering through the water like a snake through the grass. The need to breathe was overwhelming, and he was beginning to choke. Just... a... little... more...
Gathering the last bits of his strength, he rocketed upwards and swam as hard as he could, his energy draining quickly. I can see the light! I can see the light! Gritting his teeth, Sigmund pushed himself to the surface.
His snout broke through the water and he gasped for oxygen. The light was blinding after being in the dark so long, and he squinted, scowling slightly, at his surroundings.
It was ocean. Just ocean. Well. I just did that for this, he thought sarcastically. Amazing. But he was feeling dizzy, and weakly he swam to the nearest land (which just so happened to be Death territory). A rotting smell overpowered his nostrils, and the stench made him pass out.
