"Not Today' for A Little Drabble Do Ya!

One from the vaults...


Dizzy from drugs in his system, he watched as his partner struggled with their guard in the swaying dingy.

Napoleon stood, thinking he could help but the rocking sent him overboard. He looked upwards; rays of sunlight rippled hypnotically through the surface of the blue Aegean. Fear was replaced by a drug-induced serenity.

Afraid of the water and drowning, yet as the sea filled his lungs a mindless euphoria overtook him. He began to sink.

A pale hand drove downwards, breaking the spell, and pulling him to safety.

“Not yet my friend,” Illya grunted. “Amphitrite will not have you today.”

A/N In ancient Greek mythology, Amphitrite was a sea-goddess. In my back stories for Solo he almost drowned as a child and has a fear of the water that he always struggles to overcome.

A solidly written scene. Napoleon's near drowning is most convincing. Good work, that rays of sunlight rippled hypnotically.

That was lovely in a terrifying sort of way. The peaceful submission to drowning... Thank you Illya.

Thank you...though that submission was drug induced. Eeeek! Illya says, "Пожалуйста, Не за что - ne za chto."
