Anna’s seemingly weak attack that had served only to stagger the Golem in fact had a more sinister motive. The water that had splashed into the Golem’s large form was imbued with her spiritual essence, and as it dripped down his rocky body its unnatural effects would slowly make themselves known. As time went on it would sap the Earth mover of whatever energy he utilized to move and fight. Setting the precedent for the fight by ensuring time was on her side, Anna smiled beneath the waves. The cunning of the spirit was not something to be trifled with.

For now though, she had another concern. The Golem had proved it was capable of manipulating an element like herself, sand in this case. However, if the ominous noises echoing from beyond were anything to judge by, it was altogether possible its powers extended beyond just sand. It was in Anna’s interest to continue to saturate the Golem, as striking it down with her conventional abilities would be difficult at a glance. It was fortunate that it seemed to be made of Clay, a substance particularly susceptible to liquids. 

Like a child causing havoc in a swimming pool Anna brushed her hands forward beneath the water to send a great wave blasting up into the air. The Golem was some distance up the beach, so it would be unlikely to have much power behind it, but it would serve the purpose of further saturating the Golem with liquid. The wave crashed down onto the beach, about a third of the water likely to land in Joel’s general vicinity. It was the sort of wave that may knock a man to his knees if caught unawares, hardly dangerous at first glance.
