Description

Energy crackled through the air, electricity in the form of static and white lighting that flashed over the far reaches of the bay. A storm was coming. It was putting Twine on edge. From her place on the bowsprit, she watched as the water became alive. The sea-salt breeze pulled gently at her fur at first, cool spray from the rising waves balancing gently at the tip of each hair on her pelt. Five eyes blinked in unison as another flash of lightning lit the horizon. The roiling water in the distance sought to bring back unpleasant memories.

The storm was not the only thing that was troubling the small loon. Her gaze, normally so warm and sweet, was full of venom as she peered over her shoulder into the darkness of the jungle that crept over the sand towards the ocean. There was something in there that had sought to injure her family, her beloved, and it had succeeded. But now, whatever it was, had her wrath to answer to.

Twine was swift to get to her paws as the first sounds of rain began to fall around her. Quiet at first, crescendoing into a roar as thousands of raindrops hit the deck. Thunder rolled ominously over the water as lightning flashed from behind, the sound crashing upon the shore like the break of the frothing waves below.

Up the ratlines she climbed, until the ropes could take her no more. She threw herself from the safety of the tattered netting, clinging instead to the slick wood of the mast. Her small claws dug deep into the wood, scrap metal on her wooden leg helping her get a grip as she propelled herself upwards until she reached the crow’s nest. The highest safe point of the ship. Her tail wrapped around the railing as strong winds buffeted her small form, threatening to throw her from the mast. Energy surged through her body as lightning flashed over the horizon in rapid succession until she felt she was going to explode from her pelt.

A shattering boom of thunder tore from the sky as a screech ripped itself from Twine’s lungs; a cacophony of malice and anger and warning to all those that threatened her family now or ever again.
Try that again.
