Set your faith in my hands - close your eyes, let go, you'll see
The ice floes drag together nicely, though her magic is equally new and untested, so they only come half the distance she had hoped. Luckily the momentum of the water works in her favor, though that's where her luck stops holding out. Hadama melts through her floe perfectly, though with little air beneath the floe to draw from, his attack stream is relatively weak despite the accuracy of it. Unfortunately for her, that's when Evie lends her power to the attack, and the two magics combine together to blind her with the steam - which is when the surface beneath her feet bucks wildly.
She's thrown immediately, though that might partially be due to her frame and weight. Knowing her water magic isn't strong enough to break the fall or ensure more ice is in the proper place, Hotaru lets herself fall and instead covers her back in the protective scales of her Komodo form to lessen the damage. In retribution, she plucks a lighter from her pocket and flicks it on, taking the flame that emerges and manipulating it into a stream of heat that encircles them and melts away as many of the ice floes as she can see. Evie's remains intact, though definitely having dwindled in size, and Hotaru uses her water magic to make the surface even more slippery with the melted ice to try and bring the Evergreen down with her. With Hadama under the water, maybe she can lure him out by dumping Evie into the frigid ocean. As Evie wobbles and tilts sideways, heading in that direction, the Valkyrie grins.

Ru is successfully thrown back onto the ice cluster behind her! She uses her fire magic to melt as much of the ice as she can aside from her own and Evie's, and uses her water magic to pull all the melted water under Evie's feet to try and send her falling into the ocean to distract Hadama.
Final round before closings!
