"Creatures?" loki said, coming back into awareness around him, "oh, i wasn't refering to the creatures, i was talking about about transport shuttles." The he nodded, "I'm ready." he said, pulling up his suit over his mouth and readyied for the dive.

"Ah. Ok. Look, to make sure we get the most out of this dive... I'm going to launch you down, and I'll wait here to pull you back up. Sound good? That way you'll be able to see more with less air." Without waiting for a response, ((and with Loki's permission, of course, xD)) Damon reached back and swung Loki over his head, then down into the water.

Loki took a deep breath, calling it to a close nanoseconds before penetrating the surface. Damn, he's strong Loki thought as the fell deeper into the void. in an instant, he began to actively propel himself downward, using his toned muscles to continue to the rapid decline. the area was remarkable well lit, light there was a light. at the bottom, a small door was visible, Loki hoped it was an airlock of some kind and then began his assent as rapidly as he could. He breached the surface and smiled, "it was enough, theres a door, hopefully it's an airlock too."

"Excellent." Damon held out a hand, offering to pull Loki onto his back again. "I suppose what we can do... I'll send you down there again since I don't have to waste energy treading water, and then I'll come down myself. But we need to hurry, before the water level rises more."

Loki accepted, launching himself onto Damon quickly. "alright, anytime you're ready, i'll be prepared to go." His muscles burned from his all to recent exertion, but he reveled in the pain, and the rush of horemones and nueral chemicals that were flush in his brain. He was right, this would be fun, more fun than he ever thought he'd have in the dark and drenched interior.

"Here we go then." He swung Loki down again, this time a bit faster, and almost immediately took off running across the water. He came to one edge of the lake, running up the stone wall, came to the point where he was running on the top of the cave, then squatted and launched himself down into the water. The boost was enough to get him down a good distance, and it didn't take long for him to spot what Loki had been talking about. He started swimming over, meanwhile looking for Loki.

Loki fell fast, this time he didn't wait for the inertia of his initial launch to disappear, instead, he immediately began his drive down. His arms continued to burn, but that was something he could ignore, and had ignored for a long time during the war. his legs pitched in this time. he soon made out Damon's muscular figure floating quietly. Hopefully, he hadn't left him waiting for long. he is probably a light runner, but i doubt they have any of those.. Swimming down, he found a small, hand shaped device grove in the rock wall. He placed his hand there, and entry way opened, letting loose a small torrent of bubbles as the short and narrow corridor filled with water. Loki smiled gleefully and motioned to Damon to enter as he himself made his way inside.

Damon followed Loki, hoping they wouldn't run out of air down here. But the bubbles were a good sign, and once he got into the corridor where he could grab the bottom, it would move much faster. He wondered if Berstunic minded the water. After all, snakes were known to swim, so why shouldn't he? The wings could only help. Once he entered the cavern, he lowered and propelled himself along by pushing forward from the bottom, enjoying the sights.

Loki waited until Damon and Berstunic were in the corridor and placed his hand on the palm grove that he had hoped was there. His lungs burned now, as did all of his body, he need air soon. It seemed to Loki to last an eternity as the door closed, but Loki knew it would only take a second or two. once the door behind them had sealed, the water began to fall to the floor at a rapid rate, being replaced by fresh clean air! "Thank Sol!" Loki Gasped as he reveled in the fresh Oxygen. When the water had drained, the door ahead of them opened sharply, revealing a more natural looking cave than before, but lit with an traceable and faint light. "i hate magic" Loki grumbled.

"Magic?" Damon asked, looking around. He held out his hand, but nothing happened. He dropped his hands to his sides and sighed, walking forward. "If it is magic, it's somehow exempt from the anti-magic aura of this place. Where are we, anyway? Some kind of hidden chamber, but who made it?" He wrung his shorts, checking to make sure his six kunai were still in his pockets. "Did you know about this?"

"not necessarily. In the imperial navy, the Electromagnetic fields that we use to protect ourselves from cosmic ray, also arrest any electro magnetic weapons system, much to the dismay of early boarding parties of Servaeri." he smiled, "I was actually issued a explosive driven projectile pistol as my service weapon aboard ship. but anything is possible, maybe the magic was to protect anyone from actually getting here, and who ever cast it didn't think that they needed to protect this area." He looked at Damon, "i have no idea who made it, and no i didn't know about." his face was limp, expressionless, but visibly fatigued, "only one way to know if magic is not possible here." he shrugged, it was up to Damon to figure out. what's down here?

"Hm. It's worth a shot." Damon stopped, closing his eyes in focus. After a few minutes, a thin aura of purple mist began to rise from him, though he looked rather strained. Eventually the mist recollected into his skin and he lowered his arms. "It's a weak spot. Magic is possible, but we're entirely surrounded by anti-magic areas, so it's still fairly weak." He looked around, arching a brow. "If they didn't feel the need to protect this area, either there's nothing here, or it's a trap."

"Or arrogance." Loki said Coldly, "They may have assumed the water and the anti magic field thing were enough, and if my sword hadn't have come along, it probably would have been." Loki expression became solemn, "That, They might have other protections that we don't know about." Loki unsheathed his sword and clasped the hilt with both hands, "but if it is a trap, the first step to overcoming it is recognizing it. We should continue, the bait maybe worth the unpleasantness"

"True." He took out his six kunai, and as he brought up his hands they seemed to somehow become a pair of claws over his hands. "These are indestructible, so leave any kind of projectile deflecting to me." He pressed on into the strange cavern, his magic returning slightly. But with his magic usually came his psychotic side.

Loki followed in his wake, quickly falling in to step behind him. he kept his blade ready, thought not charging, to do battle with what ever came his way. "people have railguns in here?" he asked, feeling lost for a second in which universe he was residing in. Loki was a fighter pilot, psychosis is what he flew with day in and day out.
