“WHAT ARE YOU?”

The creature’s terrified voice sounded small in Gryph’s mind. Its immortal existence was ending, and it was desperate to understand how it had come to this end.

I am your death, Gryph thought back at it. Gryph yanked the spear from the arboleth's eye and thrust down with all his strength. The spear pierced the back of the eye, puncturing the thin layer of bone behind it. His arms sunk up to the elbows into the mucus of the abomination’s eye. Gryph pushed harder.

The spear impaled the arboleth's brain and the creature's foul thoughts blinked out like a blown light bulb. The beast's body sank into the murk. Gryph opened his mouth to scream in triumph, but instead of yelps of joy a cacophony of air bubbles surged from his mouth. In the final moments of the battle, mind clouded by adrenaline and rage, he hadn’t noticed the Halo of Air spell had expired.

His health bar plummeted. Had he survived the arboleth only to drown?

Gryph’s chest burned as his health bar sank. He attempted to cast Halo of Air, but his blue mana bar blinked at him with the rhythm of laughter. Perhaps it was the last vengeance of the arboleth.

He dug for a potion. With no time to be selective he had to hope it was a health or mana potion. Either would suit his purposes, but if he selected a stamina potion it would mean his death. He popped the cork and crammed the vial to his mouth and sucked.

Drinking underwater was difficult in the best of circumstances, but when you are nearly drowning, it is orders of magnitudes more complicated. He tasted brackish water and wondered if the potion would be effective.

Stars popped behind his eyes as the pain in his lungs faded. He was dying. Then he felt a rush of energy through his body. A mana potion. As he passed out Gryph's fingers moved through the gestures of casting.
