The water closed in over his head and the pain constricted his chest. But even as he did so he felt the hands reaching for him...From his place aboord the vaka Wai dived into the waves and made his way towards the shallows, by now the surface water was calmed only the roughness of the waves any indicator of the whirlpools presence. He moved shoreward to where the O'punga had fallen.As for the Hiva swimmer, he was nowhere to be seenPuna Tani & TatikiThe swimmer Anura was unconcious, battered and bruised. His body was cold and pale and he had swallowed much water. As Puna Tani pushed his way through the crowd he could sense the presence of hungry spirits ready to snatch the life away from the battered body.Higher up on the beach the boy Pako was tending on of the three fires maintained for such purposes, its heat to warm the body its smoke to revive his breathing. But first the shaman would need to restore strength to the mans spirit so that he would not be taken by those waiting at the edge of vision.Placing his hand upon the swimmers chest Puna Tani could hear the growls and protests of the hungry spirits "give him to us boy!" they screamed  - "or we will take your life in his stead!"  but even as they protested he felt the gentler touch of Tane upon his shoulderAnura coughed and spluttered his lungs emptying of salt water, he groaned as the life return to his body and then cold and weak he fell back into a stupor ready for the warmth of the fire...Lani As Lani came ashore she was quickly surrounded by people concerned for her welfare. It was Mania that came pushing through with a warm cloak to wrap around her cousins shoulders. "Are you well" she asked "What happened out there cousin? A whirlpool? there has never been a whirlpool there before and did you see that O'punga swimming with you all - he bellowed and then collapsed for no reason."She shepherds you out of the throng and towards your mother Tanafa Rongua .and OthersElsewhere along the beach the swimmers are being brought ashore and their contigents are surrounding them, guiding them towards the fires and ensuring their safety.The Hiva contingent has been surrounded by warriors under the direction of Tineiafi and Makea Takanui is consulting with the Hautupu giants on what all this might mean even as one makes his way running down towards the stricken O'Punga in the water and helps to haul him out....(ooc Tu-Ru Only Partial Actions allowed.
