Noah felt the rush of satisfaction as his shoulder struck true, sending Hadama stumbling back through the water. The sharp splash echoed through the cavern, but Noah didn't let himself revel in the moment for long. His instincts screamed a warning as Hadama recovered, moving with the fluid grace of one accustomed to combat--even with his legs being still so new. Noah couldn't deny he was impressed with the once-mer's abilities and well-seen practice.
Though luck was not on the demigod's side today. He tried to avoid Hadama's attack. Even though he could see better with his polar bear's eyes, he could not see perfectly, and thus the once-mer's strike was true and firm. Noah sucked in a breath as the pain rippled down his shin. Gritting his teeth, Noah absorbed the shock and refused to falter, and his fingers tightened instinctively around his spear.
Noah twisted his body, sweeping his spear in a tight, arcing motion. The weapon sliced through the air, but rather than aim directly for Hadama, Noah struck at the haft of the Tidebreaker’s trident, aiming to deflect the weapon away and disrupt the Tidebreaker’s rhythm again.
