She had just enough time to make a face at the comment before the Kraken let out a bellow of pain and no small amount of rage as the magic barreled into its tentacle. The ship jolted violently, nearly throwing Ray overboard. She hit the banister hard, all the air in her lungs escaping in an instant, and fell back onto the deck in a daze. She clutched weakly at the rope, hand twisted painfully from getting the full brunt of the impact. Darkness swam before her eyes as she gasped for breath.

When her senses finally began to return, Ray found herself rolling with the ship and let out a quiet groan. "Maybe... that wasn't such a good idea," she murmured.
