Arkain spins around in the water so he is facing the water again. He has to pick up speed again and quickly before the sea monster comes around again for another try for him. He snaps his tail hard. The water starts to form a wake behind him he moves so fast. He take a quick look at the shore. He gives a satisfied sigh when he see Katrin with the staff in her hand.<br/><br/>He suddenly sees a shadow form around him caused by something blocking the sun. Damn, that sea monster again. That is one very determined and very fast sea monster. He can't believe how fast he came up behind him. He is much closer this time, he can even feel its hot breath this time and his strength is fading. He lifts his head and hollers. "What ever you are going to do Katrin, Do it fast!"  If she doesn't he will be the sea monsters next meal.<br/><br/>He hears her chant something loudly. The only word he clearly heard was Freeze. He suddenly feels a shock wave of air rush rapidly past him. What the heck! Everything around him suddenly feels very strange. He quickly comes to a stop. He looks around him. Wow! Everything had frozen in time. Even the droplets of water but he was still able to move. She froze time. It was amazing. He looked up he gulped seeing just how close those jaws were to him. He reached up and put his hand on the side of the sea monsters maw and smiled. "Nice try. Better luck next time. Sorry about awakening you."<br/><br/>He hears Katrins warning and sees her on her knees. "Don't have to tell me twice." He swims very quickly towards the shore. When he hits shallow enough water he stands up and runs out of the water. He drops to his knees next to Katrin breathing very hard placing himself so he can protect her if the sea creature tries to attack them. He can see the image of the clock under her knees. "Now that was impressive. You can let him go now. I don't think he will bother us any more." He watches the sea monster closely just to make sure.
