The fight didn’t turn out to be that bad. Sea serpents focused on me while Cindy froze the water around the grindlylows attacking the hull. They tried to use me as a chew toy…but I was tough enough to get through the short exchange of blows unscathed. Practically hailing bullets from above…but only one seemed to actually do any damage. Caught one of them pretty good with Grimmur Klærnar though, put blood in the water. Just in time for Cindy to finish the thing with a whirlpool of ice shards. The other serpents, and the grindlylows, didn’t stick around after that. And, thankfully, the efforts Andrew led in the hold were enough to offset the damage the grindlylows did.
Then the new defense tower the Yazata apparently threw up decided to play the magnifying glass to our ants. I’m fireproof and that one still scorched me pretty bad, and I hadn’t even felt hot ever since Njord gave me the Regginaglar. Though it looked like Lexi took it worse, even though she was down in the hold. I was almost ready to turn the ship around to head back out, try again at night. But then Claire came out with some shield and shouted that we were bringing Arthur to his final resting place. And then it…shielded us, apparently. Smooth sailing into a boathouse from there.
Then as soon as the rest of us all got off the boat it was…absorbed into the shield, or something. Which dumped her right into the sea, of course.
And that’s where we are now…smack dab in the middle of bloody Yazata territory without nearly enough intelligence to put down solid plans. Lexi’s asking her music stuff…hopefully that gives us something to work with.
But…damn. The battle simplified things, pushed stuff to the back of my mind, gave me something to concentrate on. It was the closest I’ve come to being at peace since Altair showed his godsforsaken…
Enough writing for now.
