The sharks may have sounded human, but they were only animals. Cunning pack hunters, yes, but unfamiliar with bows and arrows and certainly unprepared for the magical variety. It never occurred to the one charging Melita that she would be able to reach it with a strike before it was in biting distance and so it made no effort to dodge or obfuscate it's line of attack. Her arrow sizzled straight along its path and took the dwarf shark right between its wide-set eyes as it skimmed just below the surface. Even if the initial impact hadn't killed it the electricity that followed surely would have finished the job.
Two more sharks had followed behind the first however, and they split away from their dying leader, curving right and left around Melita in order to catch her in a pincer movement.
Hadama had his own issues to contend with below the waves. The lazy shark had taken his starlight attack to its vulnerable belly and now floated, dazed and helpless, but two more sharks had split from the confused and milling pack to swim down towards the King. He turned to the nearest without hesitation and unleashed a second blast of starlight into its eyes, before setting himself to thrust forward with the tines of his trident at its charging partner.
