While Daniel stared back at the five individuals hidden under the black robes, the army of monsters that stared back from the other side of the body of water, grew faster and faster.
After only a minute, their numbers had tripled.
Suddenly..
*Burble*.. "HEEL-".. *Burble*
The group turned to look at a spot about three hundred meters from the coast. There, they saw a middle aged man which was desperately trying to swim towards the coast, and behind him, a few monster followed quietly.
The man had only just entered the field of Daniel's surrounding awareness, and he could see that the monsters weren't actually attacking him, but just following quietly.
Daniel understood immediately that it was a trap, but unfortunately, the same wasn't for the rest of the group, which grabbed their weapons and prepared to dive back into the water.
