"Freaked me out? Nah i've seen worse."Jean grinned, wondering if she caught onto his sarcasm.
"What is this Krakken anyway? I'm guessing he's not..human."He raised an eyebrow as he carefully tread through the field behind her.

"Actually, he looks a lot like a human. He just has webbed hands and feet. And watch his mouth- he has a bad bite" she warned, getting to the edge of the lake. "I should know, he bit a chuck of my back out a few years ago".

"Yeowch. I'll keep that in mind."He laid Hawkeye down near the water.
"She'll freak if she wakes up when we're under.Probably think something drowned me."He frowned at the thought as he took off his jacket, placing it over her.

Martel nodded and climbed into the water. Once she got near the middle, she went under. Underneath the water was a hollow area. No water, except for above her head.

Jean let out a sigh as he checked his gun was secure, before he wadded into the cold water.
"This better be clean water, not that it matters i guess."He stopped his complaining as he took a deep breath and dove under.
It was quite clear, he could see Martel just ahead of him, nothing but water around them and maybe a few small fish.

"Why are you here?" groaned a voice from a large hole in the wall. Standing there was a man with pale skin and grey eyes. His hair was silver and his face was covered from brow to chin in wrinkles. When he held up his hand, webbing could be seen between his fingers.

Jean stopped swimming forward and tried to keep himself from floating up to the surface..or sink.
It was proving difficult yet he managed.
He glanced at Martel, hoping she'd do the talking.

"Speak, human. State your business" the man ordered, baring sharp teeth. He began to cough, spitting bloody saliva into his palms. "Heaven knows how much time I have to listen".

Jean's eyes went wide.
How on earth was he supposed to speak?! He'd end up drowning!
His teeth glistened in the dim sunlight that managed to reach them, reminding him of MArtel's words.
He opened his mouth, hoping he would understand.
"We nee.."He clamped a hand over his mouth, all his air now rising to the surface. He didn't even give Martel or Krakken a glance, as he swam upward as fast as he could.
His eyesight started blurring, his chest tightening as he felt dizzy and his mind screamed the need for air.
His head broke the surface, not a second too late.
He gasped, gulping air left and right

"He doesn't understand the physics of this realm, does he?" the old man ask Martel, motioning for her to retrieve Jean.
When she broke the surface, Martel stared at Jean. "You do realize that the water is breathable, right? If you don't think about drowning, you won't".

Jean looked at her blankly.
"Since when does that ever work?"He asked disbelievingly.
He'd almost drowned a few times as a kid, so he found the concept hard to grasp.

"Since you came to this world" Martel said simply, going back under the water. She came back up a couple of seconds later. "Krakken said he'll come up, but it's going to take him a few minutes".

"This world? When did i enter a new world?"Jean was talking to himself now as he paddled to keep himself up.

Martel rolled her eyes and swam to the edge of the water. She climbed onto the bank, taking a drink from the lake by forming a cup with her hands. Gilgamesh began slitering through the dark water, lapping it up as he traveled through it.

Blinking away his thoughts of confusion, Jean made his way to the bank too.
Getting out he pulled off his shirt, wringing out the extra water before pulling it back on.
His boots were squelching with every step he took, but there wasn't much to been done about that.
So he sat down, brushing his hair back, he kept his eyes on the water and his ears open for any movement around them.

A few moments later, the man broke the surface of the water. He climbed onto the bank, though it looked like he was about to fall about. "Now" he said, gasping to Jean. "Why are you here, human?"

Jean watched as he climbed onto the bank, suddenely feeling kinda bad about making a guy, who was obviously ill, struggle extra hard for his cause.
"Me and my companions ended up here and we've got no clue on how to get out. I was hoping you might know a way for us to get back."He kept a level voice but his eyes were practically pleading him to have a good answer.

"You have asked at a horrible time. I have barely enough energy to breathe. Trying to transport you to the human world would end me" he said regretfully, gasping for air as blood dribbled from his nose.

Jean sighed, he knew it would have been too good to be true.
And even if h begged him to send them back, he doubted he'd be able to get them all home.
"Is there any other way?"He bit his lip slightly, he was in despair, there was nothing else but one hope, one chance.

"There is. But it is dangerous. Kill the kings of the realms, and you will be freed" he gasped, before falling limb. His eyes were wide and glassy, like a dolls. He was dead.
Martel frowned at the man, then looked away from him.
