Fortress 1 (Patreon)

Yuri Choi (崔瑜利...18 years old) is with her niece Shina Choi (崔晨阿...10 years old).   

This was going to be an easy feat for Yuri as she has been through the cave many times when she was little. Gulp in as much air as possible, dive deep and into the dark narrow corridors of rock. She would follow the pale toes of her friend's feet and let up air a couple of times along the way. This would subdue the lung pains, she knew. And once she spotted opaque light at the end of the tunnel, she would dart - although if the girl in front was slower but was able to hold her breath better than her, then that would be a problem. She would clutch her teeth and, just a milisecond before her lungs would start gulping in water, her body would break surface and back into the glare of the midsummer sun. Gosh that was exhilarating.   But...something was different. Of course she needed to take care of Shina who had all her trust in her young aunt, wrapping her thin arms around her neck, but Yuri found it difficult to control her underwater buoyancy and noted she was swimming much slower. But that would still be no problem as long as...but, the cave felt much longer than she remembered. Is it just because of the speed....or because she took a wrong turn???
