When the mist dissipated from the ocean, Onarr found himself paddling wildly in the water just to keep his head above. He gradually pulled himself out, letting magnetic energy flow out of his palms as he bobbed gently above the surf. Onarr looked around, hissing to cradle his dislocated arm. The force of the explosion was so powerful that he could hear the sound of fish colliding with the ocean’s surface every so often. Still panting, he continued to gaze around dazedly, wondering where the kinetic mage was. She was nowhere to be seen or perhaps, was making herself unseen. Onarr looked around the endless expanse and then looked below. An average person could hold their breath underwater for 90 seconds, more if they were untrained. If the individual was trained in the military, then - 

Onarr felt as though someone smashed a sledgehammer in the back of his head as he was shoved roughly into the water. He didn’t have time to hold his breath in before a hand lifted him out. Onarr saw through his frenzied gasping that she was floating on a ball of water and quickly surmised that that was how she dodged the explosion. It wasn’t without cost, though. He could see that her right eye was pulped, rivers of blood gushing out from the socket, and that the brigandine that covered her body was torn apart. Her ankle was also twisted in the opposite direction. 

“ That was a neat little surprise you pulled there, joruban,” The kinetic mage squeezed his throat tightly with a sadistic smile “ But your journey ends here. Out of respect, I’ll make your death quick.” 

“ Please don’t do this,” Onarr pleaded, grunting underneath her grip as she began to dance her fingers around his chest. “ Please don’t make me do this.” 

Onarr felt the brush of her kinetic energy begin to slow down his heart and panicked, thrashing in her firm grip. His mind raced for possibilities yet there was only one left. He closed his eyes and with the last dredges of every charge in his body, pushed it all into the only thing near his body which could absorb it. Unfortunately for the kinetic mage, she just so happened to be the perfect conductor. The kinetic mage’s eyes widened as her arms became frozen and her face became transfixed into a rictus of a smile. The bubble of water collapsed underneath her and she splashed down into the surf, the water swallowing her features. Onarr saw her body slowly fading in the darkness of the ocean’s depth, bubbles floating up from her wake. 

It would take a minute for her to asphyxiate and another minute before her brain would completely shut down. Onarr couldn’t stop the facts from appearing in his mind as he watched the waves listlessly but he did. 

It took an agonising five minutes to crawl all the way back to shore. Onarr limped onto the sand, seeing Benedetto and Ingrid engaged in a furious conversation with the latter looking livid. When he was within throwing distance of them, he gave a half-hearted wave. 

“ Anyone know binding magic?” He let his broken arm hang for a second before nursing it back up with his other. “ I’d rather not have to get amputated and become drawn into the world of piracy at such a young age.”
