Aurelion looked at the vacuum in the water and the white glimmer seeping from his hands with astonishment. After a moment of trembling, the light intensified.
Despite the water pressure, the vacuum pushed forward and finally reached Aurelion's head. He finally got the air his lungs were begging for, and he quickly inhaled, his limbs beginning to thrash again. The vacuum lasted for two or three seconds before the glimmer in his hand vanished, and the space began to fill with water once more.
With the newly won air in his lungs, Aurelion pushed himself and was finally able to break the surface.
He quickly looked around, trying to confirm his position. He saw that the force of the wave had pushed him closer to the shore. The fish carcasses that had been floating on the water now littered the land.
He dragged his exhausted body toward the shore.
