Noah's insights were of great interest to Hadama and he was willing to wait however long the demigod needed to consider other options. He and Ray had made only a little progress on their own - mainly in crossing off potential locations it could have been - and it was past time to seek other viewpoints on the unexpected quest that had found him.
He did not know if Noah had a winged form that could be brought to bear on the problem, but he was open to suggestions and had nothing to lose. When the Sentinel pointed out a nearby island Hadama turned to consider it, eyes narrowed against the night. He nodded slowly after a moment, recognizing the isle though unfamiliar with its interior for the obvious reason. "Yes," he agreed. "Hold onto my shoulders. If you do not mind getting wet," he added, a spark of mischief in emerald eyes for a moment before the shift flowed over him and a great oceanic manta floated in the shallows, flat enough to only barely scrape his belly against the sand while his wings stretched nearly thirty feet from tip to tip.
If Noah took him up on his offer the manta would propel them swiftly across the channel, staying at the surface and moving with surprising speed for something so large until they came upon the shallows of their destination and he eased up nearly on to the beach for Noah to disembark.
