How many landsharks was too many landsharks?
This many, as it turned out.
Tal's brown skin was looking decidedly pale as their prey was revealed and he had a very uncomfortable certainty that they'd bitten off more than they could chew. He was really wishing they'd built the platforms more sturdily - maybe out of metal? - but it was too late for regrets now. He pulled one of his throwing axes free and hefted it, eyes roving the pack - pod? school? murder? - for one he could handle.
As much as he'd wanted to show off earlier, the cold, hard reality of the situation left no room for errors of ego. Reducing the number of teeth, he decided, was more important than making the damn things madder than they already were. Taking careful aim and waiting until he had a clear shot, Tal threw the axe at the smallest shark's head in the hopes of splitting it open.
