Before you angle your head down for the dive you see that all of the ducks below have managed to rear themselves out of the water at this point. If you do not hurry, then they are going to be in the air and scattered before you get down there! You push yourself into the dive, accelerating all the while, and once more, you feel as if you were wearing the heat from a blast furnace as a mantle. Your arms are out in front of you, and you can see the Miasma billowing off of them. Worse than that, you can smell it – which means that you are breathing it in, at least a little of it. Concerned – but not panicking, certainly not panicking – you clamp your mouth shut, and you hold your breath.
The smell slips away, hauled off by your increasingly speedy descent towards the water and waterfowl below, but that particular whiff lingers a little. Amalasuintha explained to you particularly that the metallic smell of Miasma smells metallic – and it did in fact for a fact smell like a smell that smelt as if it was made of metal, and definitely not something that was made of something that was not metal, such as fish. It had been expected by you that the smell that was not not metal but was in fact not fish and not many other things would be joined at the hip – the proverbial hip, of course, as no scent known to you is in possession of a pelvis – would be unpleasant, though you were pleasantly wrong.
Maybe what had possibly been whiffed was not Miasma before or after all – as it is not know to you in practice but only in theory. For all you know, which is in neither practice nor theory, you could have smelled the Ink, which could have also been made of something that smelled, assuming hot, like a smell that smelt as if it was metallic and not definitely something made that was to not, never be confused with fish. Perhaps, as known to no known theory and theory in or out of practice to be Miasma or metal or fish or ducks, who are fish race-traitors, to be confused with metal, the whiff should be smelt once several times to be of determination made presently as diving and speed of in increasing importance, lake water soon. Yes, whiff the now, water the later as –
Shit! Was side length of affected effect caused to by the inflammation of Miasma from of nostril up into? Pulsate come pulsating behavior related to of the nature of whiffing more higher quantity possible quality of Miasma into system spiral effect compound bad nature to worse nature. Focus much! Focus now very much! Water very much, very near, very soon! Too soon, water near – ducks still near, but water nearer! Nadir which not near top or middle nor not even elsewhere in relation to pieces of mountain regardless of lake is in the flight flying at this moment, moving lake water – not sea water, or fish water, though admit to in totality is duck water, definitely not Odovacar water – near pull haul someone who is neither on or in water not belonging but near water, now very now!
