I woke up, lying on the streets of Costa de Sol. I guess the librarian didn’t like that I was asleep in the library, and the stormtroopers or someone else threw me out on the street. As I stood up, still groggy from a rough sleep, I immediately felt a headache rip through my head. The coin was already screaming at me to come and swim in the sea. I decided, probably against my better judgement, I’m gonna give in to it.
I summoned a set of scuba gear, and put it on in a public bathroom stall. Note to self, never do that again. That place was disgusting. With the coin still screaming at me, I wasn’t surprised to find it jump from my shorts pocket, to create a pocket on my diving gear and put itself inside it. I wandered out of the changing room, and out into the sea. Once I was in the water, I let the coin take over.
The first thing I felt was mental bliss, finally I had stopped fighting the coin. I watched from my own eyes, but it felt as if I was watching a movie in virtual reality as opposed to actually doing the actions myself. I would have thought i was in a dream, if I couldn’t feel the cold from the water as I dove deeper and deeper.
The two tanks I had summoned each had three hours of oxygen in them. Assuming nothing went wrong, and I hadn’t messed up when I summoned them, I had six hours that I could be underwater. My goggles fit snugly on my face, and allowed no water into my eyes. They didn’t fog, and they didn’t pinch my nose, which was a giant plus in my case.
Two hours passed, during which my body moved on it’s own, with the spirit that possessed the coin in full control. At this point, we were between a hundred and fifty to almost two hundred feet below the ocean surface. We had been swimming along the ocean floor for some time now, as if the coin was looking for something. I occasionally moved my eyes to see how much air I had left, to know if I had to take control and swim back to the surface.
After another hour or so, I saw what looked like a giant mass appear in the distance. Once I was closer, I saw that it was a sunken ship, and had been underwater for at least a year. I felt myself speed up, as if the coin knew that this is where it wanted to go. I swam through the wreckage, as if looking for something. In many different levels, I saw corpses of pirates, all lying in heaps on the ground.
In the captain's quarters at the rear of the ship, I saw a skeleton lying in the corner, with it’s arms surrounding a chest of some kind. Upon getting closer to the chest, I felt the coin in my pocket start to vibrate, as if it wanted out of my pocket. It stopped it’s control over me, and I took it out of the pocket. Holding it in my hand, I opened the chest that was in the pirates hands. Inside was a pile of gold coins, but they only came up to about three fourths of the chest.
Knowing that the captain was likely to grab a full chest to protect bad enough to curse, I came to the conclusion that there were multiple coins out in the world that were cursed. I placed the coin on top of the pile of coins, and felt the spirit leave my presence completely. I closed the chest lid, and silently wished the pirate the best of luck getting the rest of his coins back. I glanced at how much air I had left, and began to panic when I saw that I only had an hour and a half left.
I began swimming furiously for the surface, the shade of darkness painfully slowly becoming lighter. As my air ran out, I took one last breath, and held it for as long as I could. I broke the surface right as I began to see stars. Ripping off my mask, I gasped in a deep breath of air. Keeping myself afloat, I focused the next several minutes on regulating my breathing. Once it was back at a normal rate, and I wasn’t seeing things any longer, I began to look around me.
Around me I saw miles and miles of ocean. There was one island off in the distance, but easily a mile and a half away or more. I thought about the pros and cons of summoning a boat to ride on. On the one hand, it would make getting to the island really easy. On the other hand, I couldn’t summon and swim at the same time. I felt my face drop into a frown. I was going to have to swim all the way there.
My muscles were already screaming at me in pain from the swimming I had been doing while in possession of the coin, even if while the coin was in control I didn’t feel it. I began swimming towards the island, trying my best to ignore my limbs screaming at me in pain. I had no plan about what to do once I reached the island. I didn’t even know if it was inhabited or not. But being on land was unquestionably better than hanging out in the cold water.
