Kilian barely registered Erionda jumping in front of him, preventing the attack from the Diabi getting to him. Amadia nudged at his hand and whimpered, trying to get Kilian to snap out of it. A distant splash registered with him as Erionda hit the water and began to sink.
The simultaneous sounds of the dragon crashing down to the ground and Rio’s drakeins roaring in pain caused Kilian to jerk back. He blinked, struggling to bring himself back to the here and now. Distant, painful memories swam through his head. Floating there like the lifeless bodies of the ukkobaks he had killed.
“Rio?” he muttered as he spotted Uassae just in time to see him dive below the surface of the lake. She fell into the lake! She hasn’t come back up! Amadia’s panicked voice caused Kilian’s heart to stop in his chest. He had put Erionda in danger. “No…” He watched as Uassae surfaced, Rio not in sight. His initial fear of the dragon was now replaced by the fear of losing Erionda.
Kilian took off running for the spot he’d seen Uassae dive down at and dove in himself. He kicked with all his might, swimming as fast as he could to the bottom of the lake. His sockets widened when they fell to Erionda, weeds wrapped around her ankle, eyes shut. Kiliian made quick work of the plant life and tugged Rio close, pushing off from the floor of the lake and up to the surface. He kept her close to him as he swam to shore and laid Erionda down on the sandy surface.
“Rio...please Rio...wake up.” Panic swelled in his chest when she didn’t respond. Without thinking, he bent. Tilting her head back and pinching her nose he blew air into her lungs, praying, to whatever god or goddess would hear him, that he had gotten to her in time.

She was drowning, even though water washed over her it stole her breath. Leaving her limbs weak and immobile, her lungs burned with the need for air. A need that was impossible to gather as the water pressed in on her. She was used to the feeling of cold unforgiving climates but this one only seemed to seep deeper into her body.
A lethargic fog settled over her mind, pressing around her in every direction. Struggling Erionda was unable to fight it back any longer before she succumbed to the welcoming chill awaiting her. The last thoughts rushing through her mind was how much she loved Kilian, and hopefully he would be safe now. Her mind floated away from her.
And then pain. Endless convulsions of pain seared deep in her chest. Burning her lungs, throat, nose. Searing a pathway out of her body like a demon fleeing it's beloved host. Her back arched upward as liquid spilled from her lungs, replaced by the delicious air she had been craving.
The feeling of fog only just lifting away from her mind Erionda a familiar voice. The sound send a jolt through her heart. It was her name she could hear, the voice sounded... Desperate? Swimming through the fog over her mind Erionda tried to force her eyes open. dragging in a shuddering breath to answer the man panting and breathless above her.
"Kilian?" Erionda's breathless voice managed to rasp out. Her fingers twitched as they slowly regained their ability to move. Lifting her heavy arms she moved into a sitting position aided by a worried Lanzecki. Tears formed in the young woman's eye's it took a fair amount of effort to move herself. Wrapping her arms around Kilian the hybrid layed her head on his chest breath continued to rush in and out of her lungs. "You're Okay right?" Erionda asked tentatively. Letting the weight on her eyelids droop as she listened to the soothing drum of his heart against her ear.

Kilian's heart skipped a beat as Erionda took a deep breath. He had made it to her in time. Thank the goddess he so desperately prayed to for this. He still couldn't breath. The air stuck in his lungs as he watched his mate cough up the remaining liquid that clogged up her lungs. "Rio." Her name came out on a breathless whisper
Warmth flooded back into him as she wraped her arms around him. His arms snaked around her, pulling her close to him, wings closing in around them to help warm her up from the time she spent in the lake. "Oh god Rio. I was so scared." Kilian turned his face and buried his face into the crook her her neck. "Yes, yes. I'm fine. I promise. I'm so very sorry Rio."
Kilian leaned back and rose. He bent and picked Erionda up from the ground, glad to have her back in his arms. He gave her a quick kiss before helping her back onto the back of her hastar. "I think it's time we headed back." He climbed up onto his and this time stayed by Erionda's side and at a slow, steady pace as they traveled back through the forest and back to Eowyn.
