The storm looked rather nasty. I can feel the wind rush at me. I look to the water, that might be my salvation from the wind, but electricity would be an issue. I try to think of a solution. I could try to fly away, but I am not confident in my ability to actually get away, and not fly directly into the storm. I might be able to create a tall ice object to attack the lightning to the island, then get into the water. That would be my best way to escape. I summoned up a large amount of water mana, but as I was not paying attention it came out of the ocean as a large water serpent. I went with it and had it spiral high into the air before freezing it solid.

After I had prepared the lightning rod the close by water should not be too bad, that I, a dragon, cant handle it. I got out from the statue and made my way to the water when I stopped just before getting in. I noticed a large dark mass in the water moving right for where I am. I cursed my awful luck. I had a feeling this was bound to happen. If the mother hated me, it was only fair that the father would seek me out.

When I realized it was not going to stop, I jumped to the side, throwing myself away as it breached the water. Its giant mouth opened, lunging at where I was. Its body flew out of the ocean up onto the land, as the storm started hitting the island at the same time. Looking into the sky was a huge mess of gathered mana, wind and energy fighting each other. The unstable mana in the air is creating the storm, it came here cause the father did!

I realized I was distracted too late, when it slammed me with its tail into the ground. My face and legs were immediately buried into the sand. The force of the impact did some other damage to my body, I can't tell from the pain racking its way through my body. It would have been much worse if I had not been standing on sand. I called on the water and covered my body in it quickly, I could not afford to be slow or sloppy. This serpent is here for my head.

As I covered myself with water, I used it to pull me free of the sand that I was buried into. I looked at the gigantic serpent. He is much bigger than the mother. He seems very angry too. I looked around, seeing the water, I turned and threw myself into the water. He immediately started following me as soon as I started moving. As I approached the water, it felt like time slowed down, as I called on the serpent in my soul. I felt for it, reached out to it, and I felt it answered, happily.

“Of course mom.” I heard its voice.

After its voice answered I felt a surge of power rush out of me toward the water as I dove into the water. When I touched the water it swelled with the appearance of a large serpent made of water, as I grabbed onto it and pulled out of the direction of the large serpent. This time I was wiser to how it acts. I then threw myself in another direction to avoid the incoming tail strike. I just moved as the impact clashed with the water sending water everywhere. That’s when a chill scraped down my spine, as I tried to defend myself as a large lightning crashed down onto me.

I gasped as the lightning rocked my body, every part of it screamed in pain. I fell down into the water depths, which did start healing my body. I also felt that I was now in its domain. Lightning keeps striking the water, making it much harder to gather my bearings and get myself functioning again. I was getting some serious regrets about not trying to run first. I saw the serpent charging at me.

I called upon the water mana and slammed it into the serpent to get it away from me. I needed to get my situation sorted. This storm is making it much harder for me to function in most aspects. It feels like I will have to fight this fight with mana manipulation. My body is rather useless. I can't move in the water, and in the air I am a target.

I took a deep breath, ice was effective last time, I need to use ice more. I focused on the cold within me again and reached out with it. I started creating a large serpent made from ice, but it struggled to take shape. If I can't fight while paralyzed, I will die here. I called forth another water serpent which grabbed me in its mouth to move me away from the now chasing gigantic serpent father.

I could still feel the rampant electricity coursing through the water paralyzing my body. As the water serpent drags me away, I focus on making a spear like before. This one has influence over lighting, I am not sure how, but it is really annoying. I just need to bide some time.

The father serpent seemed to grow tired of our chase as lightning stuck the water right where I was. The pain racked through my body, I momentarily lost my control on what I am crafting, but I quickly regained it, as my plan is almost complete. I had my water serpent throw me out of the water into the air. I brace for a lighting strike, but just as I had hoped the father jumped into the air after me. Only after it got into the air, did it realize my trap.

Looming above the serpent was a huge sharp ice spear, just as lightning struck it sending it down onto the serpent. Then I, with all my will, forced the huge spear down. Blood splattered immediately from the ice spear piercing the serpent's head then throwing it deep into the water and impaling it on the ocean floor.

I smiled happily. I did it. I was free. Then I slammed into the water again, as I had forgotten to face the water or where I was going. I slammed my back into the water, which then whipped my head into it as well. I still couldn't move, my body was wrecked from the relentless fighting, and my mental strength has grown weak. I could do so much more than just ask the water for help, before I fell into darkness.

I opened my eyes, and what I thought was the abyss seemed different. It didn't have any animosity or that greedy feeling I had learned to feel for. I could almost feel a greeting of sorts. I relaxed, what everyone called me here wants to greet, not consume. I looked around some more, than something in the distance I could almost make out amongst the darkness and stars.

“Hello?” I asked, curious to what that thing is.

“I have finally found you.” A deep strong voice called back.

“I chuckled, if you found me, then you might be lost.” I chuckled.
