  • Stunning works. I know I can't stand to swim in open bodies of water.. anything that even remotely touches my feet sends me 20 feet into the air crawling onto the nearest thing next to me (not a fun way to meet strangers)

    we take from the land, its treasures
    and use them for evil and greed,
    and suck from the oceans its lives
    and liquids of which we've no need.
    It could be that the sea will fool us all
    the Sea Witch arise and give a passionate call,
    to bring it crashing down on us like a great maul,
    and she'll stand there laughing at our terrible fall.
