Bab 105: Blood in the Water, Part Twenty

Erin swam toward the snake-like creature with such a clear proficiency that Neve wondered if perhaps underwater fights were common among her kind. Or, if the skill she was displaying was yet another benefit of being a summon, somehow. 

Regardless, Erin reached her opponent in a flash. 

The snake responded just as quickly, though, moving away as it opened all three of its gaping maws. 

White beams began to charge up. Erin saw this and circled her opponent, strafing around it until the projectile shot out.

MP: 250/300

It missed, but just barely. 

All the while, Neve felt like she was one more sudden shift in speed from losing her grip. 

[Shit... I can feel my lungs starting to burn. How much longer can I hold out? How many seconds have passed since the fight started?]

If Erin was aware of Neve's thoughts, she wasn't showing it.
