I drag Xavi from the water, thanking whoever was listening for our survival. I just hoped the rest would make it out alive.

Xavi's white fur clings to his lean body as he climbs up into the dry cove that doesn't seem to be affected by the waves. He shakes the water from his fur, spraying me with the salty droplets of the ocean before collapsing as he tries to catch his breath.

"Magic?" I murmur, looking for the clouds that were usually left behind, but there was nothing.

The waves almost come to a standstill as a blood-curdling scream fills my ears.

"What the hell?"

I step back into the calm water, looking up at Indy as her body twists and turns in the air.

'What is she doing?' Xavi asks.

"Panicking."

I glance at the rocks slowly disappearing beneath the water rising around us. It was still and calm, almost like it was preparing to break Indy's fall.

"Is she doing this?" I ask Xavi as he swims towards me.

Xavi just stares as we tread water. 'I've never... I've only seen dark magic.'

'Is she alive?' He asks as I check her airways.
