The yellow light reminded Julian of Rowena's hair and the purple coral of her eyes and Julian thought of what she might feel. She might have not loved him in the same way as he did, but Rowena still cared about him.
That thought shook away the emptiness in Julian's heart and he immediately looked up to the surface. Before the eerie light in the water drew closer to him and revealed its true nature, Julian quickly swam up, forcing his legs to move in the deep waters.
Move!
Julian's heart beat wildly into his chest as he thought that the 'Deep Shallows' may have actually been more of a 'Swallow', the opening of the lagoon actually looked like it was closing and wanted to swallow him alive.
But he made it.
Julian reached the surface and threw himself out of the water, he started to choke up the water as his vision grew dark and blurry. He thought he saw a shadow come its way towards him.
