The black-haired man on a wheelchair... was not on his wheelchair. His wheelchair remains on the deck, stuck on the bannisters that would normally keep people from falling overboard.

	The deep water.

	An unusually quiet place compared to the chaos of the storm above. Light would occasionally flash, revealing merely the foams produced by the harsh waves. This far off from shore, neither bird nor fish would be in sight.

	This black-haired man who's not sitting on his wheelchair, was neither bird nor fish. Orange light emerged from his eyes and the cracks in his face, followed by streams of bubbles, as if the immediate water boiled beneath his 'skin'. He began to surge upward, with a speed comparable to swimming sharks. In the depths of the ocean, he looked quite like a meteor, and for someone who'd been avoiding water for all this time, his speed while submerged in it is a decent bit of irony.

	His hand reached for the closest thing that moved, pushing it up the ocean surface along with itself.

	What... Some kind of fat snake? Why is it wearing the skeleton of another snake? He held it close to his chest and coddled it like you would a cat. His voice hummed multiple tones, like a biblically accurate angel, probably because of the water in his system which is being constantly evaporated inside him.

	After this wave of emotions, finding himself deep at the darkness of the sea and the anger that came with it, to almost being pacified by the presence of a cuddly snake, it clicks in his mind as he breaks down this wall of selective attention span, and finally notices the heavy rain, nay, the storm that they now find themselves in. As another thunder boomed through the skies, he nodded.

	Yeah. Now it all makes sense.

	He looked around. Oh, no. Where is the ship? More importantly, where is his wheelchair? They both can't be that far, right? Focus. You only have a split-second to spot the ship as lightning illuminates the sky, large as the ship may be. Focus on its huge white sails.

	With every strike of lightning that the clouds spewed, he found nothing. He subsequently looked at the wrong direction. Huge waves obstructed his sight. His unmoving ivory eyes that lacked eyelids were blurred by the heavy rain that fell them. A brutal combination of factors.

	Within the vast expanse of a raging sea, he and his newly-found pet snake, were dreadfully alone.
