Breathing Water

By DM Fike

Why did the latest supernatural predator have to show up underwater?

Mastering the four elements is no joke. My mentor Guntram has me practicing hours each day drawing the underwater breathing sigil, but no matter how hard I try, I can’t get it right. Why is it so hard to draw one stupid magic symbol?

I don’t have a lot of time to perfect my form, though, not when I’m facing off against a creature who swims like a fish. Too bad it also has claws and a vicious personality. Game warden Vincent Garcia thinks he can help me fight it, but what can a vanilla human do? I’ve got all the magic in the world, and this vaettur’s always one step ahead.

Here’s hoping I get the hang of water magic soon before this thing drags me under… permanently.
