The monster was coming.
It found them, again, this time, in the form of the sea, the sea that was once pristine, calm and soothing. But now, it was a possessed, raging monster, poised to style strike at its every move, it's target determinedly set.
The girl watched, aghast yet somewhat enthralled, as the gigantic, thrashing waves came barreling towards her. The sea had no face, but she could see and feel it's angry snarl, hungry for revenge and life. But no, she thought, there had to be a warning, a sign, he promised -
Then the girl realized that Thunder had betrayed them.
Her body sprang into action. The girl pulled the small pendant off her neck, and put it in her mouth. She felt a warmth spotted across her body, and she began to emit a high pitched noise - a beautiful note that engulfed her town, a note that carried a dangerous and forbidding message - run away.
As expected, the noble soldiers jumped out from the castle walls, their weapons poised, their armor ready for battle. But there was no battle, no creature to be fought, only their inevitable death awaiting them in the soulless depth of the sea.
Yet the soldiers stood their ground. They knew what they had to do. Some dropped their weapons, began to move their arms in a rhythmic motion, readying themselves to fight the sea to their death. Some turned and set fire to the walls; the fire can help fend off the sea.
The sound has stopped; it was enough to warn the villagers to take action. The girl swallowed the pendant, and felt her body further radiate heat, and become hotter and hotter - every part of her body felt like bursting into flames until -
She was on fire. Tall, licking flames that were nearly as tall as the waves. She set fire into the entire earth around her, and the shore became a flaming wall, another barrier to the inhabitants of the village. She could hear the monster inside the sea snarl; they had given it an unexpected obstacle. But the girl knew it wouldn't last long...It was only to delay the monster, to give time for her village to run, to hide in their barricades.
Her fire, and the soldiers' fire, were battling against the sea, pushing it and holding it at shore. The other soldiers were tiring quickly; they tried to force the sea to move back, against its will, away from them. But it was too powerful. It raged on, its desire greater and more powerful than anything they could produce. The sea broke their barricade and rushed to them, victorious.
The last thing the girl heard, before she was engulfed in the darkness, was the monster, laughing at them in her high, cackling voice.
*kind of random, but this is just part of a story I've been workout on :-)
