A booming underwater roar came the Greenspine's response. The spike shot out like a bullet, straight at Berin, and the Greenspine's blood clouded the water.

Berin twitched out of the way just barely not fast enough, the spike implanting in his arm. He just barely managed to keep his mouth closed. 
He was running out of air. 
Struggling to see through the cloud of blood, he pulled to spike out of his arm and rammed it back in, sharp side first.

Ow. Oh. I just realized my post was confusing. “Back in” refers to the green spine, not me.

The plants seemed to move suddenly, jerking in front of the spike and slowing it, but it still pierced into the Greenspine's skin. They hit the seafloor, and the Greenspine flipped over, trying to smash Berin against the rocks.

Water pressure doesn't exist I guess.

Eeeeehhhh we’ren’t (a wonderful word) too deep.

Berin, seeing their quick descent, and feeling it in his ears, jumped from the monster, swimming upwards. He just barely had enough air to surface.

This guy can't catch a break. The Greenspine, can catch something. Not a break. A Berin. (That joke was awful I know I'm sorry)

The Greenspine followed swiftly, mouth wide open, showing teeth almost as sharp as its many spines. It was still bleeding from its back.

Lol. I swear.
”I won that fight!”

*Maj*

“I got away from the nightmaws!”

*roar*

Berin cursed. He swam with his good arm away, in a direction separate from the way to the scraps of his boat. He would need to go on those. Clutching tightly onto the scale, he studied it. 

He signaled to his bird.
“Attack the weak spot when it comes up!” 
Madness stood at ready to peck at the flesh on this beast.

Berin dived downwards, hoping to pass under the beast.

The Greenspine surfaced again, immediately sucking all Investiture from the Aviar using its Larkin ability.

Berin’s vision and hearing worsened significantly. But he had functioned like this before. 
Madness swooped in, pecking at the monster’s weak spot, and Berin swam back up to the surface; he wasn’t very far below. He again climbed on its back, and dug his scale into the other eye. He did this from an angle, so that it couldn’t see the attack.

The Greenspine screeches in pain, and finally it decides to use its other ability (since it's above water now). Verdant spore vines suddenly fly out everywhere, grabbing Berin and lifting him into the air, trying to wriggle their way into his face. "I WILL FEED ON YOUR BLOOD."

Berin struggles against the vines, willing them off of himself.
He used the scale to try to scrape them off of his face, and called to Madness for help.

The vines tighten instead, although little bits of green dust are scraped off, silver is the only real effective material that can combat aether.

I’m curious, how well known are these spores? I just am wondering if Berin might believably stumble into controlling them. I mean, he doesn’t have any powers at all. Just the Aviar he was given.

(this isn’t really serious, it’s just the sad hope.)

Honestly. The beast should know to fear me. It’s been 12 hours.

Berin closed his eyes, the tried to wriggle out of the vines, trying to control his emotions. “Peck at the other eye. Try to take out its sight.”

Berin saw them through the vines. For some reason, their presence comforted him. They gave him sad looks.

He needed to wound this beast at the least.

If he's not from Lumar they'd probably be entirely unfamiliar to him. If you want more information on how aethers work, I'd recommend Tress of the Emerald Sea, if you haven't read it already. The beast is already pretty wounded, too.

Ok. Im about to go to bed. I’m back! And I have an important question!

Berin, eyes still closed, grumbled out a short question. 
“Got anything better than protein bars?”

A crackle sounded next to his ear, followed by a female voice laced with poison. “If you want more, tribute, you have to earn it.”

[BlueWildRye he/him]

The Greenspine's Verdant vines sank back into the monster's skin, dropping Berin back into the tropical warm water as the beast itself dove beneath the waves again.

“Well then *bleeep* you *bleeping* *bleeeeeeepers*”

Berin gasped as he was let down. He awkwardly swam to one of the remaining pieces of his boat, and looked around while tearing the extra shirt cloth and wrapping it round his arm.

Pain

Was it gone?

Life! (Maybe)

Varel climbs back up into his little hammock, breathing easier once he hears the monsters noises subside.
