Suddenly the lights disappeared. Rus found himself in total blackness. The current had subsided but he could no longer tell which way was up toward the surface and which way would only take him deeper into the ocean. He was totally confused. Then his hand touched what he thought must be a dolphin. Unaware that it was really a shark he was holding onto, Rus no longer felt doomed. He held onto the shark for dear life as the shark swam trying to shake the grasping creature, the seeming predator on its back. As the shark came closer to the ocean surface Rus could finally see his surroundings again. He could also see the monster jaws of the creature he had been clutching for dear life, but he didn't see the large net which the shark was now swimming over.

 When Rus noticed the net, he was already over it and the net was quickly being yanked to surround both he and the shark. He grabbed hold of the net and managed to maneuver farther away from the shark. Rus screamed for dear life as he felt surrounded by fish. He quickly maneuvered to free himself from the net as quickly as possible. As he dropped from the net he wondered, "What have I gotten myself into?" Before him stood a creature with a man's body and a goat's head.
