The driver slows down a little bit to avoid going to where the fins had disappeared.
Daniel seems close to tears, though Esiphas isn't quite so sure if he listened so well.
"You're great buddy, I'll make sure everybody knows about what how couragous you've been!"
At that point, he suddenly comes down on Esiphas's leg with a daggar, and then hurls it out into the water. Esiphas though he was done, but suddenly he brings the daggar down a second time on his other leg, below the knee, where that leg is also boneless, and the flips that off the other side of the boat with his knife.
Inside Esiphas can almost feel Drauger cursing and swearing, the way you can feel a powerful bass speaker.
Though the splurting stopps after a bit.
The boat had missed that opening, and bobs in the water for a bit.
A young girl in the back says. "Maybe they're just sharks and it's no big deal."
Maybe twenty seconds later a hug form lunges up from beneath, attacking one of Esiphas's legs. However the thing is obviously not just a shark, it has arms, and its face has just enough humanish expression that everyone can see the creatures great disappointment with what it has in its mouth.
The boat erupts with gunfire. These people are apparently actually pretty well armed, and the creature tips over backwards into the water.
The driver guns the boat again. It's hard for Esiphas to hear what any one person is saying over the resulting din and motor noise but they're obviously paniced now.
Daniel points toward the eyewall. "There! Another opening! Not what I was hoping for but we need to get out of there before one of those things rips the bottom out of our boat! At least it looks like it's going to be a little bigger than the last one."
The pilot heads for the eyewall, eventually plunging into the forming gap in the wall. The boat groans a little as it is buffeted going into the gap. He turns to try to keep in the hole as he heads out, but the ship only gets maybe eighty percent of the way there before the other side of the gap reaches them.
The planing boat litterally takes off as the wind gets under it, flying up into the air, spinning around. The wind is enough to make it so even Esiphas can't hear or even really see what's going on.
However after a moment, centrifugal force has pushed the creaft to the edge of the eyewall and hurls it out. The spinning motion tosses most of the people out of it, including Daniel as he tries to hang onto Esiphas.
Everyone else has their eyes closed, either from fear, the wind, or the sudden brightness of day. But Esiphas's eyes work a little different and he can see everyone in the air, and is happy to not that Naomi is flaining in a manner that indicates all the muscles and bones are working OK for the moment. Though everyone seems to be the equivalent of a few stories up and flying outward at a decent speed.
Esiphas tracks Naomi as everyone flies through the air, without much control over his body yet there isn't much to do, and then he hits the water like he was coming off the high dive, along with everyone else.
