Snippet #1691476

Eros was astonished, forezn with fear and doubt. If Nikara's energy diminished so fast after wrestling with the snake like that, then he surely had no chance of survival. Still, the beast was weakened and blinded and he seemed at its limit.
*help mer! get him away or attack the beast choose!* The strong mer still had enough energy to signal him.
Eros rushed with the glass shard in his hand to meet the snake right after Nikara passed out. He only managed to scratch a few scales down before the snake turned around hissing and trying to take a bite from the mer's shimmering tail.

Eros plunged again, avoiding the poisonous fangs and stabbed the snake just beneath his opened mouth, were he was vulnerable. Just then Tiana and some other mer rushed over, a few of them taking Nikara away from the snake's reach. It was safe now to try and hit him again, the snake was coiling around in agony, taken aback by the attack. It was too late for him, Eros plunged the glass shard in the same spot and moved it from right to left, wounding the beast a little more. He never done anything remotely heroic in his life, yet he managed to do this sort of thing. Too bad for him, there was no one left that he knew to congratulate him, only a few mers and Tico who was so excited by the whole thing that he started to sway back and forth like a fish in a net. Tiana and her cousins along with her brothers were probably already at her home, taking care of Nikara.

The snake coiled around itself in agony, smashing the ocean floor with his tail, sending waves of sand all over the place. Eros had only a little time to flee, taking Tico with him, out of the beast's way. The other Mers went forward to help him defeat the beast.

Eros only wished that Isabella saw him being brave. His hair was full of the snake's sticky blood and his fins were a little messed up, but he looked decent enough to try and see her again. The only thing was that he told her they would meet again that night and the sun wasn't even about to set. Actually he wanted to boast with his heroism and since Nim was the only Mer that seemed to listen to him, Eros thought of her first. Now they had to finish this once and for all, so he waited for a miracle.
