.:Ambrosius:.
Exhileration. That word popped into his mind. That one word described what he felt. Why did he feel exhilerated? He was swimming. His sleek, water colored body whipped through the water with ease. His webbed fingers and toes attached to powerful, but thin, limbs allowed him to push through the water at top speed. He didn't have to worry about popping to the surface for air for the gills on his sides allowed him to stay submerged for the duration of his swim. The boy loved the feeling of water sliding over his skin, how beautiful it looked underwater with all its beautiful marine life, but most of all, he loved the peace. He paused, sinking slowly to the bottom of the water. He breathed few bubbles, watching them drift slowly to the surface. It was pratically silent, but loud at the same time. Calm but chaotic. He closed his obsidian black eyes, contented. But suddenly everything seemed wrong, strange. His black eyes snapped open, he knew something was wrong. A strange coldness started to seep into his mind, his surroundings. The world around him shattered, falling like pieces of a broken mirror. Ambrosius mouth opened, but no sound came out. It was like the darkness was suffocating him, smothering him like a blanket. Ambrosius was frozen, powerless as the blackess covered him and he started to fall into it. Down..down...down...

The boy woke up with a loud, agonized scream. He jerked up, away from the the tree he had falled asleep against. His chest heaved, struggling to get air. Ambrosius shivered, his body felt cold despite the sun shining in the afternoon sky. The Zora boy hugged his knees, his black eyes opened wide. He was waiting, waiting for the darkness to appear. He had to move, he had to leave. Heaving himself to his shakey, awkward feet, he walked away. He reached a shakey hand up to push his teal colored hair away from his face, and only then did he notice his face was sticky with tears. He whimpered again, unable to shake the crushing blackness that still haunted his mind.
(Woot. My intro post. Hope this is okay. ^.^)
