Emilia ran past her without a word, diving into the depths below. Reasonable really. She couldn't blame Emilia for wanting to get herself out of there. It would have been nice if she would have helped her, but there wasn't much time to think. Lystra dove in after Emilia rather ungracefully. She was hesitant to swim through the tunnel again, but she had little choice in the matter. It was either that, or stay here and get buried alive and she very much liked being able to breathe.

	The shield didn't weigh her down much, but it was awkward to swim with. Combined with her only mediocre at best swimming abilities, this was not a good situation but she didn't think much of it. She'd get out of here - she had no intention of dying. The tunnel continued to cave in on her as she swam, a large block sliding into the ground in front of her. She had to sim through a small gap between it and the wall to get through, wasting precious air and time.

	Kicking off the fallen pillar, she used the momentum to try and make up for it, but her lungs burned with the need for air. A few more seconds, she finally swam out of the ruined door as the passage collapsed behind her. Did Emilia make it out? She wanted to at least turn her head and take a look, but she couldn't. She needed air desperately, but her limbs felt heavy, somewhat numb as her heart pounded in her ears. Just a little further was all she needed, Damn it, if Emilia hadn't sped off....
