Try this one. The spear was offered from the merman who had swum up beside Kaiden, Hadama's slow movement through the water deceptively stealthy.
He had been surprised but pleased to see the young mershark in the training grounds outside the Palace, and remembering how their last encounter had ended he had already been considering which of the weapons would suit Kaiden's slender strength. It was a tricky business, choosing a weapon for another, but before he had been a king he had been a sea smith, learning in his mother's underwater forge. No easy task when his magic had not blossomed in the ways that would have allowed him to follow in her wake, but he knew quite a bit about weapons and how to suit them to those who would wield them.
Have you used a spear before?
