James Belamort

The roar of the turbines and the vibration of the fuselage seemed endless. The cramped cabin of the plane was filled with the heavy smell of fuel, old metal, and the musty snow that had accumulated on boots before takeoff.
James sat in his chair, his head thrown back and his jaw clenched tightly. His right arm, hidden under the sleeve of his sweatshirt, was aching with a dull, throbbing pain. The day before, during training, Odin had accidentally bitten and squeezed his arm too hard through the protective sleeve. There was no wound or open bleeding, but an old bone injury and a deep soft tissue bruise had made themselves felt right at the top. There were no bandages or braces on his arm. The pain rolled in waves, darkening before his eyes, until the mounting shock of pain finally plunged Belomort into unconsciousness.
Odin was whining restlessly next to him, huddled against his legs. The shepherd sensed something was wrong with his master, and the metal prosthetic on his left paw clicked dully as his body began to shake more and more.
And then there was a blow.
A sudden engine failure, a wild roar of ripping metal, and a deafening whistle of a depressurized cabin. The plane rolled onto its wing and plunged downward. The powerful impact with the trees ripped the rear fuselage apart at a seam: the airflow and Odin's momentum hurled him out into the pitch darkness seconds before the main body plunged at high speed straight into the icy water. Odin lost consciousness among the wreckage that remained in the forest.
The impact with the water caused James's head to hit the dashboard or trim hard, sending a hot trickle of blood down his temple and cheek. The cabin quickly became flooded with icy, scalding water.
After several minutes of agonizing oblivion, James regained consciousness underwater. Icy shock and survival instinct compelled him to unlock his harness. With the last of his strength, overcoming the excruciating pain in his injured arm and the fog in his shattered head, he forced open the damaged hatch and swam to the surface.
