[center]Sea Serpant/Snake[/center]

As the snake coiled it's way around Ryuu, it felt another presence 'enter' its mind, one other than the malicious one. It stopped what it was doing, having now realized what it was doing. The break had been just enough to give the snake the time it needed to realize that Marcus had been controlling it. The snake, stopped near Ryuu looked around for a few seconds, its eyes turned a clear shade of blue whereas before it had been a dark purple. However it quickly returned to purple, and glared back down at Ryuu. Seconds later, its eyes were blue again, and it repeated this process while Andromeda continued to try and distract it.

He heard everything she'd said but at the mention of protecting her, his body stiffened and his eyes got wide. [color=brown]"I'm not really one for fighting ma'am... But... I'll do my best to protect you. I'm quite adept at barriers and the like. It's actually my magic of choice."[/color] He explained, smiling awkwardly. It [i]was[/i] true. His best magic was his barrier magic, something he's practiced quite often. He never liked offensive skills. His father had often shown him many a graphic scenes using his own offensive magic. It was just something he couldn't shake.

She waited. Waited for the perfect moment. Rain had managed to grab Ryuu and someone on the bought was doing [i]something[/i] to disrupt the magic holding Maruki. Her magic was nearly ready and she held on to the last syllable just long enough for her to see Maruki's blue eyes turn that sinister dark shade of purple. A smirk grew on her lips as she hoped that this worked, hoped to whatever god was willing to listen. She released the spell, it's white energy shot out at Maruki, pieces of it shooting out at those on the boat as well, those that had any sort of dark affinity. The light shot down into the water and swirled arounnd Maruki's tail. Maruki hissed violently and began racing towards Kailani, but she was frozen in place due to the spell. She had to concentrate or she'd die right then. 

As Maruki got closer to her, he stopped, just before her, his nose nearly touching her forehead. She let out a sigh of relief as Maruki sinked into the water, his head still remaining. [color=cyan]"Kailni... Why do you look so afraid? IS something after you?"[/color] He asked in Aquain.

Kail sighed and smiled at the snake god. [color=khaki]"Not anymore."[/color]
