Raiya let out a scream of annoyance before retreating from the edge as the tentacles emerged from the depths and slapped onto the deck. Raiya almost lost her balance but her reflexes kept her standing. She raised her hands and fired off a couple of her own blasts before the tentacle retreated. Nemo's suggestion that its skin worked as a sort of mana barrier put Raiya a little more on edge. 

	[color=ec008c]"Well, what the hell should we do then?"[/color] She asked in annoyance, [color=ec008c]"I don't have anything bigger than a .45, and I am not about to go swimming."[/color] She wasn't ready to explain that she didn't really know how to swim, she figured that detail could be left out.

	[color=ec008c]"There has to be some sort of idea that we could come up with, right?"[/color] Raiya said in a tone of certainty, [color=ec008c]"Travis? Nemo? One of you two has to have an idea. This is not how our story ends, being devoured by some sort of demonic beast. Is there any way we can escape from this ship? Or maybe some sort of spell that can trick or disorient the beast?"[/color] Raiya had a fake frantic smile on her lips, which said more about her state of worry than any other expression she could have chosen.
