Malaya had swept away in a small boat when that huge squid appeared and destroyed half of the ship. The wind and waves pushed her away further and further until everything became reddish, from the water to the mist, no matter where she looked. The water had the color of blood which made her shiver with fear. That was her first encounter with the red current and she had no idea how dangerous that area was for mages.
She believed, she was going to die for the second time. They did, however, come. Malaya's eldest brother, Jules, and her father.
"Malaya!" Jules called out to her. He was followed by her father from behind as they were flying in the air using water. But their expression looked like they were in pain.
But then Malaya's attention shifted to the ocean water when she noticed the small boat gain speed. Her eyes widened when she saw that her boat was nearing a huge whirlpool.
