His vision of Noah beneath the surface of the Bay was blurred and made unclear by both the angle and the water between them. He could see his shape and movement well enough, but not the finer details, so he was uncertain exactly how the demigod disappeared after dodging his surprise attack. All he knew was that the other man was gone...
And he had little choice but to swim a short distance away to surface and scan the beach for his opponent.
He didn't spy Noah, but he certainly noticed the Spirit Stag that was abruptly charging towards him across the water! He remembered well how dangerous the summoned creature was and this time he wasted no time in gathering his magic and successfully Aquaporting farther away just as the Stag reached him.
This time he placed himself well out of the thirty foot radius of most abilities he'd seen. With Noah still not in sight the Tidebreaker paused to dive and consider his options, giving himself several centering breaths of water before he surfaced again, roughly forty feet from shore.
And brought the sea with him.
Using his mastered water manipulation, he gathered a wide wave of water and then propelled it into the sky in an arc, freezing it as it came apart. True, he could no longer control it once it reached the limit of his magic, but momentum and gravity were sufficient to do the rest, blanketing the shore in a brief, frosty rain of sharp hail while he scanned the stretch of black sand for a place the hail did not down upon the strand, hoping to pinpoint his opponent that way.
