Although the night remains quiet and still, there is a raging storm inside Lucinda's mind. It seems Abraxia can feel it too as she circles the sea from high in the clouds.
The kelpie can't stop thinking about Anandi and all her conflicting feelings. Yes, she did have the woman to thank for making Lu what she is today. At this point, she can't imagine her life any different. There's just something about the other kelpie that rubs her the wrong way. Too many times she's wanted to sink her teeth into her neck and be done with it. But then something stops her. She knows it's the bond, the one between creator and creation. It makes her want to vomit.
She could've told Anandi to leave then, so why didn't she?
Perhaps it's a deep longing for companionship. Of course, she has her beloved dragon back, but Abraxia is not able to fill the void that Diaval once took up. She has not seen her brother in ages and may never see him again, so what is she to do? As bitter and cold as her heart is, there is still a part of her that seeks closeness, as much as she hates to admit it.
She knows Anandi could fill that void in a way that she's never had before. She could have a sister.
It makes her sick.
So she swims; her kelpie form is more comfortable these days. The sea takes away some of her pain and it eases her mind. She once took to the skies and let the wind pass through her mane, but now it's the water. No longer does she have to feel angry about her wing injury when she has the sea to swim through.
A voice breaks her from her thoughts and at first, she's irritated. She curls her lips in a snarl as she whirls around and comes face to face with a tiger shark. Her irritation turns to confusion as she stares at the creature. Could she be dreaming?
"Yes it is," she answers, knowing that Abraxia is still flying overhead. It's hard to see her from down here, but once and awhile one could see a shadow pass over the moon.
Somehow, the shark looks different from others she's seen in these waters. "And who are you?" she questions, greatly suspicious of the creature. Lucinda would very much like to know what or who this shark is. After all, it's very unlikely she developed a new ability to talk to animals overnight.
"Speaking."
