It was a scary ride, going under the water and through a cave. There were a couple of times that he was about to run out of breath, before the fishman put their lips together, and suddenly he had a little more air in his lungs.
Finally, he could see the surface coming up, and he swam hard to it, gasping in lungs full of air and looking up at the sky. It was still stormy and choppy, which only served to remind him that he had just lost every single other person on his ship. He had considered them friends, though most of them he only knew their names and not much about them, but still, they were, for the most part, good men.
He looked around. There was nothing but sea around them, other than the tall, volcanic island they came out from. But it looked tall an craggy. He didn't see any beaches that he could swim up to.
And worse, he saw no trees or anything that could construed as food.
His heart sank.
"Are we close to what?" He asked the fishman. "Right now it looks like I cam close to nothing but my doom." he was only going to be able to tread water for so long.
