Chapter 10
I just nodded at him before I looked back at the lake. I stepped my foot in the water So I could feel the cold water touching my skin.
I slowly walked to the deep part of the lake and when I arrived I first turned in the direction of lina and Trevas. Lina who was currently at the top of the tree waved at me to serve as a look out but Trevas just looked at me who was just standing there by the lake.
I looked back at the water before I dived and started swimming to the very center of the lake. For some inexplicable reason, the bottom of the lake is dark even though there is still sun, so I have to go to the very ground at the bottom of the lake to find the ice blossom flower which in Trevas' description is a light blue flower that shines.
I don't know how long I have been under water because apart from being able to breathe in the water, I focused my attention on finding the flower. The lake is also wide so it's not that easy to find, especially when it's still dark.
After about a few hours I finally saw something shining in the distance. My heartbeat quickened and I swam quickly to the shining one and there I was exposed to a very beautiful flower. I slowly approached it before carefully digging the soil around the flower so as not to hit the root.
I couldn't help but smile when I had the flower in my hand. I was about to swim up to get up when suddenly something curled up in my leg. I looked at my feet and there I saw a black vine coiled. I reached for the vine to remove it but my eyes widened when suddenly something also curled up in my hand causing me to release the flower.
I was so bitten on the lip and so annoyed to get lost there on the vine. I removed the vine that wrapped around my hands but I could no longer move in my place because the vines that wrapped around my body and pulled me down were up to my waist. I fidgeted and struggled and tried to get away but whatever I did was very tight on the vines. I tried to use my teleporting power but for some reason it didn't work and I felt like the vines were absorbing the power I used.
I felt the fear building inside me when I was slowly pulled down by the vines and there I saw the corpses of people who were probably also pulled by these vines but I felt even more panic when I wrapped around my mouth and nose are the vines that make me unable to breathe. I tried to get out but the grip on the vines tightened which made it even harder for me to breathe.
I felt my eyes gradually close because I was slowly losing my breath but before I could finally close my eyes I could see something swimming in my direction. My vision was blurred and I was so blind that I could not immediately see who it was. He approached me and immediately touched my shoulder which was the only place not yet covered by the vine.
I could see his face when he swam towards me and realized that it was Trevas but before the events could finally sink into my brain, darkness suddenly enveloped me and Trevas and I went to a place that was only only black could be seen before the inherited scenery suddenly changed and we returned to the side of the lake in the shadow of a tree.
I knelt on the floor and chased my breath to calm myself.
"I thought water was on your side?" Trevas asked before suddenly sitting down next to me. I looked up at him and narrowed my eyes.
"The water is on my side, the vines are not" I told him angrily. "Bwiset, I got the flower, I just released it because of that twinkling vine"
"I'm the one to dive" Trevas said shaking me.
"No, it's just me, you might suddenly faint while diving." Trevas just looked at me.
"Let's just dive together. Just in case I die, you're there. And in case the vines reappear, I'll help you"
I gasped. "Alright"
Trevas smiled at me before suddenly averting his gaze. "Maybe it's better if you just take off your clothes too "
I frowned because of what he said. I turned my gaze to the dress I was wearing and realized that my black underwear was already scratched because my white robe was already wet.
My face turned red because I could already see my underwear and it looked like I was wearing nothing but underwear but I immediately shrugged my shoulders and just took off the robe I was wearing, after all I can see that my underwear is better when I take off the robe for easier swimming. I'm not that conservative so I just shrugged my shoulders and put on my underwear to follow Trevas who now has no top and is wearing white pants that he was wearing under his robe.
I noticed that Trevas was trying to look away but I ignored that when we started swimming back to where I saw the flower. We immediately found the glowing flower but I was surprised because the vine was no longer around.
