Key to the Unknown #8

As Amy opened the door, she looked into the beautiful room, a gasp of awe escaping her lips as she looked into the sunny afternoon. So much warmer and nicer than the current weather outside. As she walked into the room, she looked at the beautiful pond and than began to read the plaque. Well, it seemed easy enough, right? But no magic? Hmm, well the good, ol' fashion muggle way than.

Dive down and get a stone and swim back up... But what dangers could ther be? She had just left the hospital and this could likely put her back in the hospital, right? Letting in a deep breathe, she sighed before she removed her robe, leaving her in just her uniform pants and long sleeve shirt. Folding up the robe, she placed her bag on top of it and removed her wand from her sleeve and placed it inside her bag. If she couldn't even use it, than what was the point in it being there to possibly be lost in the pond if something attacked her.

For a moment, she debated about removing her shoes, but thought it might be safer to keep her shoes on, in case there were sharp rocks on the bottom. Taking in a deep breath, she backed up, took a few fast steps and dove into the water, hand extended in front of her like arrow.

The water was refreshing, it made her feel like she was flying as she opened her eyes to look around the darkness. EVerything was blurry in the water, but she could see the thick kelp. She kicked her feet hard to push her further down, letting out a few bubble from her nose while she went deeper and deeper. The kelp was thick, she could feel it brushing her legs as she swam, had to kick a little hard a few times when she felt the leaves of the kelp begin to tangle.

It was dark and she couldn't really see the bottom well, but her fingers made contact with the bottom and she smirked before her fingers wrapped around a smooth stone. Pulling her feet down below her, she kicked off the bottom, hoping to shoot straight up to the surface, her fingers wrapped tightly around the one stone.

As she broke the surface, she gulped air, her lungs expanding quickly and making her chest ache for just a moment with the sudden expansion. Pushing herself towards the shore, she kicked at a few things of kelp before she finally got there and then pulled herself up, her body dripping wet from the pond. As she pulled herself out, she pulled off her shoes, the feeling of wet shoes making her whole body grimace before she went over to the bucket.

Tossing the stone into the white bucket, she waited to see what would happen next.
