CHAPTER 67
~Spring's POV~
The first hit of water was ice and thunder. The force of the initial wave nearly tossed me backward. I forced my arms forward, slicing through the current.
Fae illusions flickered in the water around me—schools of phantom fish, gleaming beasts with snapping jaws—but I didn't slow.
"They're not real," I muttered to myself.
Tide after tide surged and magic spiraled.
A whirlpool tried to yank me down. I twisted quickly, spun out, kicked harder.
I could see Lilith was to my left. We were evenly paced.
"Faster Solstice."
I tried to ignore Jade. She knew that if it were me in my past life, turbulence like this wouldnt matter much.
I had once swam and survived a tremendous water fall, bound.
And jsut liek that, the memor of that moment, me getting my hands tied behind me with Silver chains and thrown off the cliff side to weaken my father, King Winter.
And how I survived the rocketty edges and the insane current.
