Hadama was not intimately familiar with Rae's Fingers, which was reason enough to ask the kindly Harper to accompany him. The human's position on the council was another reason, as they were going to investigate a body that had recently washed out from the old lava tubes. And then there was the fact that it had simply been awhile since they'd had a chance to speak and the King missed his friend.
At high tide this particular entrance was half-submerged, allowing both men to safely swim - or wade - into the tunnels as the light decreased. Hadama's trident provided a dim, starlit glow that was augmented by the 'lantern' he had brought: a glass buoy filled not with air but with Arclight water packed with bioluminescent algae. The King was tired but enduring as he swam slowly, starlight glittering in his wake from the air-breathing ring that would protect his human friend if the tunnel dipped below the water line completely.
Have you explored here before? he asked curiously as they went forward.
