Soaring through the air, I circled the human armies. They seemed to have stopped with the dragon slayer for now. Which was great for me. I tucked in my wings and turned myself toward the armies, diving down. I called on the ice mana around me as well as water. I created a large wave of water which splashed across the armies taking this time I used the ice mana, to flash freeze the water which I sprayed them with. Causing the entire area to drop in temperature, and small bits of water to flash freeze onto the soldiers.

Looking up into the sky, I smiled with satisfaction as I saw the beginnings of clouds forming. Causing a vast area cold front, in warm weather, is the great beginning for a storm. I pulled out of my dive, and got back to circling around the camp, as I kept creating more water, and freezing it in the air. If I keep this up, I could create a nasty storm.

I thought back to a conversation I had with Cataegis. He was talking about, before he could control wind mana, that he always seemed to have a way to affect the air flow with his water and ice. When he causes sudden cold temperatures in a warm climate, it would cause storms. Which is perfect for me.

I watched as the normal warm air was forced up over this dense cold pocket which I had created. Much more condensation was forming as the cloud forms darker above the cold swell. Keeping my circulating pattern, I could see the cloud start to turn. My feeling was right. I would be able to recreate Cataegis’s storm!

I started pushing myself to do more and fly faster. I could hear the humans yelling and scrambling, but I watched as the ground became soaked and muddy, causing the humans to slip and fall, getting coated in mud. As I continued creating it colder, I watched as frost started to build on the ground, causing the top layer of mud to start to freeze. I saw the human struggle and tried to grasp the rapidly changing situation. Not only was everything just wet, including them, but now it's all freezing.

I saw from the sky as it started to rain as the rain was freezing as it fell. At first it was landing in an almost frozen state but now it's pelting as droplets of ice, then hail. I also started gathering ice mana in the middle of the turbulent water and wind, creating the water to freeze even more creating larger chunks of hail, pelting and raining down everywhere on those humans.

I was very satisfied with the chaos that the storm was causing, but not many humans were dying. I had to keep going if I wanted the storm to persist. I pushed harder, digging deep within myself as I went faster. Cutting through the air quickly, I kept seeing the storm building up more. The winds are getting faster and the clouds are turning more. I felt I got to the point of no return. The storm would be unstoppable now.

This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.

I pulled hard and shot down to the ground and using my breath I blasted where all the most shiny humans were. Without pausing I finished my dive by getting out of the storm as it came down harder on the humans. I landed on the nearby hill, and turned to watch the storm causing chaos and destroying the humans camp.

That's when I saw glowing within the storm and the winds started to die down, as a counter wind was forced from within. A fire ball sailed just past my head. I ducked down and roared back. These humans were surely very stubborn. I called up large ice spears and started hailing them at the point where the fire ball had come from.

I watched as a wall of earth rose to stop my ice spears. Followed by another fireball hurled in my direction. I felt my eyes twitch. These humans surely do think they can win this. I charged at the humans, ignoring most of them and plowing in through the camp. Calling on my powers, I forgot to change the shape, as two ice serpents formed from my mana and circled the humans, which were surrounding this thing, which had stone-like spheres which were absorbing mana and manipulating it like monsters. The serpents circled the humans and closed the circle as the humans started crying out in pain, as the serpents crushed them into the object they were so fond of.

Then I went up to this thing and jumped up and landed on it, I crushed it. Flattening it into the ground and tearing it apart with my claws. I ripped it apart until only fragments remained then with my breath blast I destroyed what remained. With a low growl in my voice I turned to the humans which were left. I summoned many more ice serpents which smashed and slammed themselves into the humans crushing them all under their weight, I could feel my left eye pulsing with pain.

With just a simple thought, suddenly spears of ice came out the we ground and impaling the remaining humans, as their blood turned the ice red. Somewhere still crying out in pain, but soon it all became quiet. The winds had calmed, the humans stopped yelling. Seemed as everything stood still, as I looked around at the carnage around me.

I didn't know how long I stood there, I wasn't even paying attention to my surroundings, I was stunned. I had caused this. I killed so many humans. It made me question if I was a monster. I know these mortal humans are not like me, but does that make it okay to kill so many though? I had so many thoughts and questions in my head, it felt as though I was drowning in them.

“Lost, are you okay?” Hickory asked from behind me.

I turned to him, and felt my heart flutter. I was so scared he might not like me anymore. I scooped him up and held him close to me, and stayed like that for a while. Just letting my mind process everything. I was overwhelmed.
