The spike shot out like a bullet, straight at Berin, and the Greenspine's blood clouded the water. Berin twitched out of the way just barely not fast enough, the spike implanting in his arm. He just barely managed to keep his mouth closed. He was running out of air. Struggling to see through the cloud of blood, he pulled to spike out of his arm and rammed it back in, sharp side first. Quote Ow. Oh. I just realized my post was confusing. “Back in” refers to the green spine, not me.

The plants seemed to move suddenly, jerking in front of the spike and slowing it, but it still pierced into the Greenspine's skin. They hit the seafloor, and the Greenspine flipped over, trying to smash Berin against the rocks. Quote Water pressure doesn't exist I guess.

Berin, seeing their quick descent, and feeling it in his ears, jumped from the monster, swimming upwards. He just barely had enough air to surface. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swear. ”I won that fight!” *Maj* “I got away from the nightmaws!” *roar* Berin cursed. He swam with his good arm away, in a direction separate from the way to the scraps of his boat. He would need to go on those. Clutching tightly onto the scale, he studied it. He signaled to his bird. “Attack the weak spot when it comes up!” Madness stood at ready to peck at the flesh on this beast. Berin dived downwards, hoping to pass under the beast. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berin’s vision and hearing worsened significantly. But he had functioned like this before. Madness swooped in, pecking at the monster’s weak spot, and Berin swam back up to the surface; he wasn’t very far below. He again climbed on its back, and dug his scale into the other eye. He did this from an angle, so that it couldn’t see the attack. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Greenspine screeches in pain, and finally it decides to use its other ability (since it's above water now). Verdant spore vines suddenly fly out everywhere, grabbing Berin and lifting him into the air, trying to wriggle their way into his face. "I WILL FEED ON YOUR BLOOD."

The vines tighten instead, although little bits of green dust are scraped off, silver is the only real effective material that can combat aether. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote I’m curious, how well known are these spores? I just am wondering if Berin might believably stumble into controlling them. I mean, he doesn’t have any powers at all. Just the Aviar he was given. (this isn’t really serious, it’s just the sad hope.) Honestly. The beast should know to fear me. It’s been 12 hours. Berin closed his eyes, the tried to wriggle out of the vines, trying to control his emotions. “Peck at the other eye. Try to take out its sight.” Berin saw them through the vines. For some reason, their presence comforted him. They gave him sad looks. He needed to wound this beast at the least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote If he's not from Lumar they'd probably be entirely unfamiliar to him. If you want more information on how aethers work, I'd recommend Tress of the Emerald Sea, if you haven't read it already. The beast is already pretty wounded, too. Edited 7 hours ago by BlueWildRye 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
