Hearing that Noah was willing to help them collect bait was welcome news, and Hadama nodded once in acknowledgment. It rose to attack when we killed the rock serpent. On their first venture together. I thought that Void Vipers would be easiest to transport. Large enough and perhaps similar enough to the Wyrm to hold its interest - though the spider had not required any such connection to bring it to the surface. More importantly, the sinuous creatures could be contorted and carried in comparatively small boxes to leave hands and weapons free.
Depending on what kind of water they were walking into - whether true water or merely some kind of poisoned mist - Sunjata's safety from the Void remained of concern. The stone they had borrowed had seemed to work well last time, though Jack's participation... "He would have been," Hadama confirmed, his tone neutral. "If he had been able to land a hit with his air magic." The Captain's aim, unfortunately, was rather worse than his bark. "His courage is not in question. But we differed on when the work was done. Perhaps he would be more inclined to follow your decisions." The Tidebreaker could only offer a slight shrug. "Though he did not show any affinity for... shifting earth." Captain Barclay was a man of storm and sea, not stone. And it was a master of earth who was needed in order to free Deimos's magic for attack.
