Though things had been peaceful between the regions in the year since the War, Caido was not without its dangers. Its predators.
Its monsters.
A person would be wise to keep themselves in fighting trim, for one never knew when a Sea Panther, Tide Jaguar, Ghost Whale, or worse might appear.
The King of the Mer (and Torchline, more or less, depending on where things were in the timeline) had carved out a few hours to practice with his trident among the colorful geysers of the Rainbow Road. Swimming into the center of a roughly circular collection of them near the shore, the mermanta waited with eyes half-closed as he focused his other senses. When one of the geysers erupted from the waves he spun to face it and let loose a blast of starlit water from his trident to strike the eruption before it could reach its full height.
Or such was the goal. When two of the geysers erupted within heartbeats of each other the task became significantly harder, but Hadama was immersed in his task and in training his reflexes for those times when strength alone would not suffice.
