I was wrong, of course. Despite the fact that Earth’s tower was in a cave and a tunnel had been built around Dothra’s tower, I never even considered that any of the towers would be under water. When I was suddenly submerged in cold water, I was okay for about three seconds. Then I remembered that in my thirty-two years, I never learned to swim. I had always assumed if I ever ended up in water, I would float upward. I didn’t. To make matters worse, there was absolutely no light. As far as I knew, something could have been swimming right at me. Once again, I focused on my symbol and Henry. After what felt like an hour, the pressure released and I took in a welcomed breath. And then I coughed. The air was horrendous. It was hot, humid, and smelled like rancid meat. I was standing in what appeared to be a flooded subway tunnel, not the shadow pass. Fortunately, the water was only knee-high. The lights overhead were artificial and red. There was no way to get out of the water and I couldn’t see anything in one direction or the other.
