Hadama nodded in satisfaction as Kaiden agreed to meet with him and then he turned his attention to the batch of frozen pineapples that carried the taint of the Void. Far too many things did, these days, but if he and the mershark could prevent this one small grove from spreading then it was a job well worth doing.
Kaiden's blunt force approach was watched with thoughtful interest. It had its charms, but swiftness was not one of them, unfortunately. Hmm. Perhaps lightning will work on these... variants. Hardly a threat to normal molten pineapples, but these grew cold, not hot. The mermanta's eyes burned sapphire as the winds whipped around them, gathering a localized cluster of clouds above the tainted grove. The storm coalesced swiftly and in a few minutes lightning flashed ominously within the small tempest before striking down repeatedly into the Void Pineapple cluster. Not every bolt hit a pineapple, but with enough of them hitting the sand over and over the evil grove was soon reduced to cinders and slagged black glass.
Hadama released his magic, eyes returning to emerald as the storm quieted and began to dissipate as swiftly as it had spun up. He reached for the tow rope on the lone survivor of the carnage and nodded regally to Kaiden. I will see you in the Oerwoud, he rumbled.
And if there was a hint of pride in the job they'd just done, well. Perhaps it was justified today.
~Fin~
