Rui was a sailor, one who liked traversing the seas, fishing and finding life in the deepest depths of the sea.
Rumor had it that underwater creatures roamed in a certain area, off the charts.
And so, being the curious man he was, he decided to set sail immediately to that zone, him and his crew loading the boat and wasting no time in starting their travel.
But one small error was made. They didn't check the weather.

The waves crashed against the puny boat, making it rock violently side to side, crew members falling off with a squeal, dissapearing into the fray.
the storm boomed and lightning shocked, waves endlessly crashing down, murky dephs holding god knows what.
Rui tried to hold on to a rail, but was quick to lose his balance on the slippery deck, rain attacking his face as he went overboard!
His body crashed into the water with a splash, the icy cold water biting at his skin, filling up his lungs with an agonising burning sensation, salt tearing at his eyes and waves sending him further down, down, and down.
He couldn't breathe. He couldn't see into the dark blue liquid, and whenever he'd gasp for breath just above the surface, he'd be dragged back under.
Surely he would die..right? The black in the corners of his vision said so.
