JACK
Wham.
The cannon strike couldn’t really make a loud noise, given that it was muffled by the maw of the sea beast pressed against the ship, but it was certainly effective. Other members of the crew hacked and slashed at the tentacles coming from the other railing, but in the aftermath of the cannons the water stained slowly red. Very red. Tentacles began to loosen and release the ship.
And then a great fuck-off imaginary dragon appeared. Jack - too far away for his (currently pitiful) magic to pick up on what Eloise was doing, could only swear under his breath and try to hold the straining ship steady at the wheel with trembling hands. The remainder of his crew similarly blanched at the sight of whatever it was, and a couple of very unlucky ones even cast themselves overboard in terror.
Fucking brilliant.
The monster, at least, let out a strangely pitched keening, clearly not wanting to be a part of these shenanigans any longer, and plunged deep beneath the waves. And the cannons - well, they were already being reloaded to take aim at the dragon.
