Glaucus watched in horror as Relana slipped into the raging waters of the river headfirst, engulfing her in its icy embrace.
"Relana!" Glaucus yelled, jumping in the cold river without a second thought. He furiously fought the dangerous churning of the rough waters, desperately searching for his friend. Even as a licenced lifeguard, he had trouble competing with the intimidating power of the rushing water. Glaucus had to find Relana quickly, or she would soon perish. She did not have the experience Glaucus did in the water; that pushed him even further to find her. Even though his lungs were now devoid of any oxygen, he knew that if he were to resurface to get air, he could never find her.

"Please, let me find her!" he thought desperately. "Please, just let me find her alive!"

As these words echoed in his mind, he felt a searing pain on both sides of his neck. Grimacing in pain, he pushed the pain in the back of his mind, still concentrating on finding Relana.

Then, he saw her.

She resembled a beautiful banshee, her face pale and lips blue. She floated weightlessly in the water, her eyes closed. Glaucus immediately feared for the worst; he still expected her to be concious.

"No, please be alive!" he thought as he reached out for her cold body. She was hauntingly cold; this was not a good sign. Glaucus quickly resurfaced, taking in a gracious amount of air. Again, he fought the harsh current to reach the shore; this time, it was much harder. He was exhausted and had a seemingly dead Relana to weigh him down. Yet, the determination within his heart kept him going until he reached the pine-needled shore. Shaking the water out of his hair, he checked for her pulse, his heart pounding.

"Be alive, Relana....I don't want to lose you. There are so many things I want to say..." he thought, a knot of dread constricting his heart. With a deep sigh of relief, he found her pulse. She was taking in ragged breaths of air; her lungs had a large amount of water in them.

Glaucus' tense pose softened for a moment; she was alive. Then, he fell to the ground beside her, his exhaustion getting the best of him.

:3 Oh, this was so much fun to do! *squeals* Basically, this is what happened in a rp. Relana, being the clutz she is, fell into a very dangerous river. Glaucus, being the lovely friend he is, jumped in and risked his life for her. Cue "aww" moment. X3 This was the trigger to a very slow transformation sequence in which Glaucus gets gills and Relana gets patches of blue scales!
