They knew that she would come but it was only a matter of time. They feared that with the presence of the changing ones that she might have sensed danger and avoided the area, but they had given themselves plenty of time if the Betweener hesitated and didn’t come before the third Great Wound reached the over sea.
It was not that long of a wait… just hours after the changers left, she came. Great Tooth and his companions all sensed her as soon as she touched the water and began to change into her unnatural form. Great Tooth was sickened at this because the form she resented was the true form of the Rokea, the form that she denied and rebelled against. This made her an enemy to Great Tooth and she would pay for her sins.
The Sharks swam closer to shore as Great Tooth and Two Tails shifted to prepare for battle. The Betweener began to verbalize in a different tongue. Great tooth cursed himself for not shifting into the dirtwalker form so that he could use his Spirit Token to understand what it was that she was saying, but he didn’t allow Two Tails to see him hesitate. It was then that the sea betrayed them. Their companions were held fast in the water by an unseen force. Two Tails and Great Tooth in their battle forms tried to save them but they could not release the force that held them fast. Enraged, the pair charged the chanting Betweener and a watery form, obviously one of Qyils brethren from the darkness that filled it’s form. Two tails was lifted into the air by a spout of sea that shredded the sea life around it and his form was being ravaged, but Great Tooth could see that the Spirit was concentrating on Two Tails so he leaped at the Betweener and sunk his teeth into her neck. The Blood sent him into a frenzy and when it was over his quest had been completed.
The betweener was floating face down in the sea with her wound coloring a large area around her. Two tails was among their companions, dead from the wounds inflicted by the spirit. Great Tooth opened his mouth and summoned his brothers who eagerly came to feast upon the dead in celebration of his victory.
As Great Tooth begun his swim home he began to ponder the events of the quest. Had the Betweener joined Qyls brood? Had the changing ones known? Little mattered at this point. The scar had been removed once the betweener had been removed from the unsea. He would return home and be honored as a great warrior should.
