A violent wave of water hit the demigods. Will sputtered, eyes still closed tightly. Bubbles erupted from his mouth and nose in an abrupt torrent as the wind was knocked out of his lungs. He washed onto the beach with a painful thud, and rolled over sorely to retch the water which had forced its way down his throat.
