Take a breath.
[ And once Cassel has breathed in, they plunge. Go deep, navigate flawlessly through a twisting and jagged tunnel, and then they're back in the lagoon, and a few strokes from Zane's powerful tail get them to the surface.
Zane never reaches the surface. He lets Cassel go, and he vanishes down in the depths again. ]
