"Deadly" Land of the Dead

Miri decided that she was going to the land of the dead to complete the quest for the watcher. Which is FINE. What I didn't expect was how quickly she could managed to get in contact with the Watcher and his servants. It had taken us two days to travel here from Gistro, you'd think it would take just as long... but noooooooooo.
 
Apparently the Watcher has his hand in every cookie jar.
 
She asked who would go with her and we all ended up coming... for reasons. It was interesting.
 
According to Fen, the energy around there emanated death with it centered on the water of a certain body of water.
 
It was dark when we got there and I tried to talk with Miri, but the others interrupted me saying I was too loud... I WASN'T. They were listening to my conversation because they are spying on me. They are trying to get in my head.
 
There were footprints of some massive wolf or other creature, that went around our camp. I didn't see one though and I wonder whether someone put them there to make me feel like I was going crazy... it won't work.
 
In the morning, we agreed that Miri would go into the portal of death, and we would all wait 3 minutes before following after her.
 
I was counting the seconds, but then I realized I was counting slow, and tried to count faster. I tried to go in after her, but my friends were trying to hold me back. Eventually, I ended up in the water and I broke a way. I swam down and found myself in the most dead looking place that I have ever seen.
 
It was also super painful. I looked for Miri. She was looking as alive as ever and told me to go back. She promised that she would also come. So, I went back, and then had to battle drowning. I was covered in a weird blood that the death water didn't seem to wash off while I was in it.
 
Grey, in particular, was mad at me, but hey! Who else can say they went to the land of the dead and returned? Just Miri and me.
 
Would I go back? Not on your life. But perhaps for Miri.
