MAEA
Amun had always been so unphased by everything that happened that Maea had started to think of him as fearless. Utterly cool, calm and collected at all times. But now, as she heard the edge in his voice, she began to realize that perhaps he was just better at masking the fear. She felt strangely calm; tired, strained and worried, yes, but very clear headed too, now that the walls weren't closing in on her anymore.
"It'll be okay," she said, squeezing his hand. "Just be my eyes for a moment longer. We'll be alright."
When he found her the tunnel, Maea took the lead, forging on into the dark. "No time to hesitate," she replied, dragging him along. Soon water sloshed around her feet, startling cold; no light had warmed it for quite some time, which suggested to Maea that there was no immediate connection to the ocean. Some small intake perhaps, but hardly more.
No matter.
"Come on. We'll hide in here for a while, until they give up." Turning, she coated the walls of the tunnel they'd come from with ice again, like they'd passed that way and tried to stall more pursuers. Then she surged into the water, letting it coat her head, swallow her whole as she pressed on, around the curve. With no idea what lay before her.

I'm an angel bored like hell
