A/N Yes I know I took forever and yes I know it's short but I am hoping to get back on track with this story and thank you all for tolerating me!
Light flashed through
torn paths of lightning across the sky, Thunder sang out in triumph
then another chained tear of light flashed. Waterfalls raced from the
clouds through the trees and to the ground.
Illuminated for a
moment was a pale apparition of a woman. Knee length white hair
flying in the wind. The forest fought her as she trudged forward.
Clawed limbs reached out to to rend the exposed flesh. Rain washed
down her naked form, coldly carressing her body. The rain flashed
brilliant in the light turning every surface and every breath of air
into a jeweled wonder. Purple eyes sqinted into the rain washed
darkness. The deep pitch black of the forest swallowed the dangers
before her. Lightning sprinted through the dark and the whole world
seemed to lie in wait, for the deep crack of thunder.
The whole
forest shook when it came. The notes came and played off everything
in the woods, The sound danced in everything and multiplied in it's
power until Amalthia could feel the song deep in her chest. as the
clouds quivered in their cresendo Smack! Her knees slammed into a low
barrier on the ground, her foot slipped on the soaked layer of leaves
on the floor as her torso flew forward. The ground came to meet her
as her forhead caught upon a jagged stone. Stinging blood and water
slid into her eyes. She lay there in the freezing torrent of the
rainstorm as her head pounded and all hope of thought danced away in
the frigid wind.
She struggled to pen her leaden eyes to meet the
sight before her. A fire cracked merily in a cave. She rose slowly to
her knees and rawled forth, uncaring whether the maker of the fire
was friend foe or indifferent the bladed wind flew into her face and
it seemed decades before she stumbled into the smooth rock of the
cave and began to drink giddily the heat of the fire.
"My
Lady Amalthia, I had not expected you so soon" The voice was
deep but it made no echo in the enormous cave.
"I am The
Dragon Lord Talyn"
