t's been over a year since Lucinda was turned into a kelpie. She's a couple seasons late, but today felt like a day worth celebrating. So in true kelpie fashion, that involved a hunt.There is always excitement to hunting, no matter what it is that she's pursuing. Between the adrenaline rush and the bloodlust that consumes her, she always finds joy in it and doesn't know how she lived her life without this. She can understand now what Abraxia appreciates about life and their bond has only become stronger. Typically, the pair hunt together but today Lucinda is alone. The ocean water has begun to warm up with the changing seasons, so she's eager to spend even more time in the sea. It feels much more comfortable to stretch out her fins than it does with her legs.
Soon, she is in pursuit of a small brown shark. It's not nearly as big as some other sharks she's hunted, but a snack will do just fine to satisfy her hunger. It doesn't take long for the creature to spot her and she propels forward. She longs for that first bite, the one where the first drops of blood land on her tongue and the creature still thinks it can get away. They always try to squirm under her grasp like there is still some hope.
There never is.
This is what she thinks when she reaches that very moment. The shark is no match for her speed and power, so with one swift move, she kills the creature with her jaws. Lu comes up to the surface with the shark in her mouth to get an idea of her surroundings. When she first came to the water, she had been alone, but now there is another here at the edges of the shore. At first, she's not sure whether she wants to hunt them too, but as she swims closer, she thinks she recognizes him.
The kelpie begins to eat when she comes to the shore to meet the man. Her magic transforms her back into her other body and once again her wings feel too heavy on her back. The sea is already calling back to her and she will return to it, but first, she's curious why he is here. They have never properly met, but she's heard many things about the Court regimes.
"Well hello, King of Delumine. What brings you to the home of the kelpie?" she asks, her mouth likely bloody from her kill. She doesn't bother to clean herself up as it's all part of the image. Lucinda watches him closely and wonders if he longs to be part of the sea too.
