[Mini Event] As Above, So Below

Ray provided a name to round out the notice board idea and Hadama nodded agreement at contacting this Deimos. A ruler of distant Halo, he seemed to recall, and a man of intimidating reputation. Flora's ideas were met with equal quiet approval. "If Deimos cannot, then I will ask the gods," he agreed.

Her other idea, however, was of a far greater scope than Hadama had dared to plan, and he blinked, taken aback at the sudden expansion of the ideas they'd been tossing around. He was about to ask Flora for more details when the water grew rough around him and he had to fight the sudden choppiness of the sea with grim brute strength. Ray's exuberance turned to fear and he spun in the waves in time to see the Sea Panther surface and snarl at the sky.

This was no kitten. The humans on land might be able to flee to safety but Hadama knew death's shape and he set his trident grimly, with no intention of going down without a fight.

This time, however, the oceanic feline subsided and slipped away without further mayhem. Not that the King lowered his guard just yet as he held his position in the water, eyes searching above and below the waves as they washed over him. Is she hurt? he asked Ray, mental voice calm but carrying an underlying tension of memory and the echoes of loss from the last time they had encountered one of Ludo's companions.
