Emilia watched as Lystra's form crashed against the sparkling surface, and was pushed back slightly by the impact in the water. When her friend was set to go, Emilia smiled and rose one hand above the surface, pointing towards the center of the lake before diving and swimming off at her top speed.

	Underwater, they couldn't talk, but Emilia looked back to make sure her friend wasn't lagging behind, completely used to the feeling of the fresh water against her open eyes. Occasionally she would slow down, but Lystra wasn't exactly a child. She seemed to keep up rather well despite Emilia's obsession with the lake. The girl dove deeper and deeper, but didn't head towards the darkest recesses of the lake. The sunlight didn't quite reach that deep anyways, there was no telling what lurked down there.

	It only took about 20 seconds for Lystra to realized where Emilia was taking them. Several feet below the surface, and rested against a flattened wall of rock against the Lake's edge, was an opening that all-too-accurately resembled a man-made door. The closer they got, the more obvious it became that this wasn't a naturally occurring cave. The wall was laden with small grooves that resembled bricks, similar to the type of strange walls Lystra had seen above ground in the past. They were crude, and large, but Emilia didn't hesitate to dive right in.

	Within the ruins, Emilia lead Lystra through a curved pathway that seemed to go on forever. She held her breath firm though, and continued through the darkened tunnel, until there was almost no light left. Rocks jutted out of the destroyed walls of the tunnel, but Emilia was careful to avoid cutting herself. Her agility underwater knew no limits, but it was still a treacherous swim. Then, a splash of relief, as her head surfaced in a lit cave underneath the lake. She's lead Lystra to an ancient ruin of unknown origin.

	There was no way that this place was man-made. Hell, it looked practically brand-new from the inside despite the fact that the tunnel leading here was torn asunder and littered with jagged rocks. The walls seemed turned at an odd angle though, as if the entire room was ripped from its foundation and flipped around. The [i]ceiling[/i] was over 60 feet off the ground! How the hell was a place like this tucked away so neatly under the lake? How new or, old, was it? Emilia turned and waited for Lystra to make her way through the tunnel, ready to jump back into the water at a moment's notice if her friend wasn't able to make it on her own.
