Water Sports

Mgurlgrl Grglllrrrll (translation: Ellasandra Coralia) was trying to find her ball in the kelp on the tenth. She had tee'd off just as a strong current had swung through and it had carried her ball off into the rough. The Royal championships were coming up in a few weeks and she couldn't let the elves down. Spying her ball she swam over to it and looked down in dismay, it was buried deep in the kelp. That left her only one option. She tilted her head to the side and listened to the currents, waiting, waiting for the right one. After a minute or two she smiled and swung her pitching wedge, chipping the ball straight up, just higher than the kelp itself and then whoosh, the ocean current came through and grabbed the ball carrying it over to the smooth fairway and running it down close to the green.

"Good shot my lady," her caddy called as he took the club, made from still living coral from her. "It's a shame you won't be able to make the championships", he said calmly as put the club in her bag and pulled out a small cylindrical shell which he pointed at her. Ellasandra's eyes widened as she recognised the Conelius Infatalis or Fatal Cone Shell. It was exceptionally rare and possessing one was a sentence for death. The Conelius Infatalis had a mortality rate of 100%. It would kill someone stung within two heartbeats. There was no cure for the poison because there was simply no time to administer a cure.

The caddy pointed the shell at her and with a puff of air bubbles it fired it's deadly needle.

"Aquaticus Shieldus!", yelled the princess, making a motion with her hand and in the split second it took the needle to travel to her, the water in front of the princess solidified into a wall, as hard as steel just as the needle slammed into it and bounced away. As it bounced away the Ellasandra's hands were already moving into a second spell, "Let's see how you handle being a fish out of water," she said grimly as her spellcast finished and she made a yanking motion with her hand.

The caddy looked around horrified as the water was sucked away from him, leaving him standing in a perfect air bubble, his gills working overtime as they struggled to draw in water which wasn't there. Ellasandra watched as he struggled, trying to find a way out, but every way he moved the air bubble moved with him. Eventually he collapsed, purple in the face, eyes bulging from his head, twitching on the bottom of the bubble, until finally the life faded from his eyes. Upon his death the sea elf form melted away, leaving a human corpse lying on the bottom of the ocean.

Ellasandra held her wrist up to her mouth, "Security, another assassin, that's the third one this month, come and collect the body so we can try and find anything leading back to who hired him would you? I have a game to finish."
