"Fire!" Gil had already noticed the larger river snapper before Walker had shouted out or it had jumped in to the air from the water. His reaction had been to focus every archer in the tower to fire an attack at it at the same time.
The use of the fire magic arrows had been the only choice they could make. Instead of resisting the elemental mana that opposed water elemental affinity, the river snapper would be opposed to it. When the attack hit, even if it didn't defeat the larger river snapper, the flames from the arrows would further heat the water causing more of the river snappers to dive beneath the water and protect the ship.
Hearing the shout to fire arrows, Walker put up a wall of flames to cover Remey, he knew that the attack would be causing some decent damage and could reflect at them. She didn't say a word as the flames she had covering her knuckles were taken and expanded around her.
