Thanks to Reiven, artemis34 and Ramen II (I wondered where you disappeared to russle) for reviewing!!

Kai headed straight for the beach. It was hardly welcoming on a snowy and rainy day that would most likely turn out stormy and thundery
. It suited Kai's mood, a mixture of anger at himself and his own weaknesses and sorrow for himself.
At least he had a force to fight against, fighting was Kai's way of getting things sorted, he felt calm after a good fight.
The blinding snow and the cutting wind that overpowered Falborg's energy by millions.
The wind attacked him, tearing at his clothes, but they didn't rip, they were made for tough conditions.
The cold and snow whirled his scarf around him like the wings of an invisible guardian angel shield. The cuff around his neck froze and icicles formed around it that bit into Kai's skin. He held the slight pain, revelling in it.
His hands were raw red from the rough wind and his lips were blue. Snow settled in his hair like mousse, and held it stiff. Ice crystals hung off his bangs in his eyes and on the ends of his eyelashes.
He stood on the flimsy wooden jetty, looking out at the roaring sea. He yelled out at the waves as if they had claimed Dranzer's fiery spirit and dragged her into their dark bottomless depths.
As lightning cracked, so did Kai's anger. It was his fault really.
He hadn't felt so bad since he lost Dranzer to Zeo. Every time he lost, deep within him, he knew he had another chance to gain what he'd lost but, it felt like he had used up all his chances.
Dranzer meant so much to him, as much as a favourite teddy means to a little kid and parents will phone up the airport and have the teddy delivered back if lost on the plane.
Kai felt helpless without the ancient spirit with him, Dranzer was part of him and had been there through thick and thin (like a daemon in His Dark Materials).
He was cold, frozen, without Dranzer, it had been proved to him on Lake Baikal and now he really knew what Dranzer did for him.
Dranzer brought him life when his soul was almost dead. Without Dranzer, he might have been a cyborg, he'd have been lost to the darkness forever.
In his mind he wished for Dranzer to come back, he thought hard of the memories where Dranzer held him in her fiery warm wings in his cell and gave him warmth after a hard beating from Boris and how when he was a little boy, Dranzer used to give him rides on her back, and the races with Falborg and Bryan. He remembered when he got lost after a combat training for the first time in the forest and Dranzer had led him back.
If he hadn't lost her everything would be fine and training could go on as normal.
'Drat' thought Kai, 'they must know something's up if I didn't train them', he mentally reminded himself to get them doing laps when he got back to the dojo. But that idea was soon lost in the torrent of raining that suddenly started to pour down on him. It was the afternoon, but it was getting dark earlier and it looked like 8 o'clock at night now.
The reality of being all alone in the dark, having wandered to somewhere unknown along the coast made him feel like a sodden rag that could just blend into the background of jagged cliffs.
Lost in his thoughts, his feet went autopilot up the cliffs, treading steadily up the steep paths. He then started climbing when it wasn't enough to just use your feet.
He found a ledge uninhabited by seagulls and sat down on it. Sharp rock jabbed into his back, he didn't notice the pain.
He rested his arms on his knees and stared out to sea, fixating his gaze on the wild waves that crept gradually up the beach, centimetre by centimetre up the foot of the cliffs and higher. Marks off high tide erosion lined the rock behind and around Kai, but he never noticed the danger.
His legs were frozen numb and so were his fingers, the rain turned to sleet, then to snow, it clung to him like frosted icing, forming a frosty coating around his clothes.
Kai's tears froze into shiny pearl drops on his cheeks. His breath was harsh in his chest and his hair stiffened.
Water froze in less than 10 seconds, snow turned to hail..... Hour into frozen hour....
Please review.
Luv, Blader Fairy Everlasting
