Guys and girls, I am back. Been very busy. I also had testing all week, and I really don't want to stress myself out with writing, as if it was too much as a responsibility than a hobby. Be sure to give me reviews, especially if you have any suggestions. I am open to going back into chapters and editing them for typos, more details, and maybe different ideas.
Subzero water were all that was seen. Alianor shivered restlessly as they floated about. Alice heaved and hoed with the ores, almost snapping them at each row. It was quite difficult to know where you were going, though. They hadn't seen the journey there. Who's to know that they actually sailed there? Knowing what was inside that glacier, they could have flown.
The snow had died down, giving the girls more sight and less hassle. The sun was actually very bright, but it always is in Skyrim, but they actually didn't know if it was Skyrim still.
The whole area around the ship began to rumble.
"What in Oblivion was that?' Alice asked stirring her attention to the world around her.
The rumble had stopped suddenly, giving it a shrug, Alice kept rowing. Not long after, it rumbled again. Shaking the whole boat, Alianor nearly swept into the ocean. Storm clouds appeared over the sky. The sun was hidden, and all that was left was pure grayness. Thunderbolts and lightning struck around the girls. The small rowboat shaking and rocking from the waves. It would break.
Alianor stood up, the boat began to overflow with icy cold water, and would sink instead. Her ankles shivered and nearly gave out to the water the quickly rose. Alice tried rowing to land, but there was none around them for miles and miles on.
"Alice, we must jump!"
"I can get us to land. An imperial never fails!" Alice roared
"It won't be failure if you just jump! This ragged thing won't last another minuet, and I don't wish to stay and wait any longer! C'mon!"
Alice protested until the boat creaked below her and gave in. They plundered down into freezing water. Sinking under the weight of their armor, they struggled to swim up. Their limbs began to become stiff. It was like the ice shattered through their skin and bones. Alice choked helplessly, unable to tell up from down or left from right. The water was pitch black. A small glimmer of light peeked through the water, but how far away was it? Alianor grabbed ahold of Alice, tugging her forcefully. She screamed through the deathining water, but air bubbles trapped the sounds, and nothing was heard. It swallowed the rest of the air from within her lungs, clogging her air pockets, and choking her. She began to sink even more.
Something swam past Alice's right side. When she looked, it was gone. Now, again, at her left. Beneath now. They or it was everywhere.
Alianor was being pulled further down. She felt a pinching at her ankle. Then it hit her. The peirce of skin, the breaking of flesh. Sharp knives stuck in her, but they weren't knives. Teeth. Glistening scales reflected around her. Slaughterfish.
Alice swam at what she thought was up. Alianor grabbed onto Alice's foot, trying to pull up with her. The struggle was indifferent. Alianor kept being pulled downward, as Alice freely swam upward. They were both begging for mercy, and, mostly, air. It felt like both of the girls lungs were collapsing underneath the breathless pressure. Everything was black. Everything was silent. Still. Untouched.
Snowy white was followed. Yawning, Alice looked around. Bloodshot eyes peeped at the surroundings. Trees, and better yet, air. She could actually breathe. Alianor lay unconscious next to her, breath slow. How long would it take to be home? Where was home?
GUYS! It took me forever, but I swear, 'll be better. Short, but well worth, right?
