Zax hit what appeared to be lava as well, fearless in the face of certain death and horrible pain. What he felt was a cold slap of water, and after half a second of shock, he swam to Edea with powerful strokes. Even he wasn't strong enough to pull her up out of the water, though, and though his powerful grip had closed around her, and he tried, in the end he didn't let go even when his lungs screamed for air.
The man eventually had to take a breath, and water rushed into his lungs, smothering him and darkening his vision all in one go, but still he held on. He still kicked, strong as ever, though he was rapidly sucking in more water, his thrashing becoming more feeble.. Edea wouldn't be the first to die, the way he was frantically using his remaining air supply.
