Adira
Coyote forced a smile before sticking out his tongue as soon as you turned away.
"Yay... more swimming."
He said, following along behind you as the two of you wade into the water again.
Qquickly this time, there's a drop off into the deeper water. And you find yourself swimming a bit sooner than you expected.
After a while, you hear Coyote begin to pant behind you, struggling a little.
"Do you *pant* feel that current?"
He called over the waves. Indeed, there was quite a bit of drag under you now... worrying you a bit with how fast it's strength was growing. But the island is so close now it would be stupid to turn back...
As you were contemplating, your companion caught up with you a little.
"SWIM FASTER!"
Coyote suddenly barked, splashing behind you. The tone of his voice gives you little choice, and you soon pull yourself up onto the island you were aiming for.
You turn around to aid him to shore, and your heart drops as you see him riding the rim of a massive whirlpool that you narrowly escaped.
He fights with everything he's got against the current, trying to pull himself out of it. But each time he fails, his plunge casts him deeper into the current.
Your perception shines here.
You can tell you'll only have one chance to help him get out of the whirlpool, but, if you fail. You can take comfort in knowing a little bit about how Glowmire works. Rather than drag him to a watery grave, the current would probably drop Coyote in one of the many caves that honeycomb the land... but there's also a possibility that it's some horrific creature lurking below, ready to eat him.
Above your head, there's a long vine that may give you enough rope with a running start. There's also an outgrowing of rocks near the current that look like you could jump to them from the island you're on.
Coyote let's out an involuntary Yelp as his muzzle is dragged under the water again, and your heart almost stops until he breaks the surface and gasps for air again. You need to act now...
