*Shadi, paddling about the surface, saw Peter pop up and scooted towards him. The water was cold against her nearly-bare skin.*
"Where's River?" *she asked, catching the curious look on Peter's face.* "Should she be down that long?"

*River looked up to the surface and shuddered as she slowly swum up.*
Not safe anymore, not safe. He's alive.
*The cold cellar air hit her as she came up and the terrible feeling in her gut only got heavier. She spotted Peter and Shadi and swum over to them, still sporting a horrified expression.*
"We have to go, have to go."

*Shadi caught River's horrified expression.* "What's going on? Was something down there?" *But she followed River just the same, knowing that if she thought something was wrong, it likely was.*

"No, he's up here. I thought he had left, he was so gone so long. Not safe."
*River swam up to the shore and pulled herself on the land, staring into the darkness with great intensity.*
"We musn't upset him, we're in his cellars."

*Shadi clambered less gracefully onto the bank. Her eyes widened as she wrapped her arms around herself from the cold.*
"You mean... The Phantom?"
((dun dun DUN!!!))

((*lighting strikes and scary music begins*))
*River nodded.*
"He's back. I can feel it, I hear it."
*River pointed to her head.*
"In here, I hear everything."

*Shadi considered this. She didn't hear anything, but that didn't mean it wasn't there.* "Maybe we should find him."

Peter followed River clearly confused but excited about the possible adventure. "who is this phantom?"

*River pondered and looked at Shadi with an unusual concern.*
"We could seek him, but he'll be mad. I think."
*The she turned to Peter and she lowered her voice.*
"The Phantom is a ghost, but a man. His horrible face matches his soul. Like a Reaver he is, saw the blackness and stared back. Lost it. Mad."

"D'you really think he eats people?" *Shadi asked. She'd seen ugly people, and depraved people, but never cannibals.*

Peter grinned at the thought of facing said phantom. "well, what are we waiting for? let's go see him."

*River stared at Peter as if he just told her to chop her own hand off.*
"Are you sure? He's no Indian or pirate. He's ...... "
*River couldn't find the word and stared at Shadi and Peter for a moment before finally caving in.*
"We'll go, but we'll only watch. From a distance. Agreed?"

"Oh, of course, from a distance. Right, Peter? We won't get in trouble, River. Promise." *Shadi grinned ingenuously.* "'Sides, the fish-lady isn't here; who knows if he'll actually be around."

"Well I know he uses a boat to get there. So... wait. Which way did we come?"
