The Answerer.
Tethra looked down into the water, and locked gazes with Manannan. In the blink of an eye, the Danann’s face vanished into the water in a series of ripples. Suddenly angry, the Fomor threw a stone right where Manannan’s nose had been, but it sank into the turbulent depths, and clanged off something metal.
Tethra froze. It couldn’t be…
Tethra reached into the water, using his affinity with the ocean to guide his hand. Within moments, his fingers brushed against a foreign object –
- And his hand closed on a sharp blade. Biting back a curse, Tethra tried again. Grabbing the hilt this time, Tethra raised the blade.
The Answerer glimmered in his fist.
The ocean laughed with Manannan’s voice.
The ocean cried with Manannan’s voice, too.
Grimly, Tethra strode away from the seashore, the Answerer clutched tightly in his fist, as Manannan’s soul screamed behind him.
