Hey all, just a quick little forward. I've always loved writing stories, but have lost inspiration a while back for writing. I've found FR shortly before the last registration window, and it's quickly gotten my attention and given me inspiration for all new stories to write. I've already got quite a few ideas, and I've been practicing in the RP section to get back into the swing of things so hopefully this doesn't suck. Anyhow, that's about all I had to say so I hope you enjoy the story!

A loud crack echoed throughout the open field, followed by a loud crash as a tree collapses under the sudden energy of the tempest overhead. Bright swirls of purples and blues crack their way across the dark swirling clouds. A bolt of white-hot energy darted back and forth through it’s blackened prison, eventually making it’s way through to the bottom of it’s cage. Hopping through the downpour without a hint of warning, the bolt shot through the sky, eventually crashing down onto the head of an unsuspecting Snapper.
Did I find her? No, the storm has tricked me. Am I blind? Yes, even the ground before me has gone dark. Am I dead? No, I can still feel the rain’s relentless assault. Am I deaf? Unclear. My ears are ringing, but I couldn’t hear much to begin with past the pounding in my ears. I can’t seem to move, or perhaps I can’t feel.
Eyes closed. Focus. In. Out. Breathe, Vi, breathe. In. Out. The ringing has subsided, but my ears are drowning. I need to find her. I will find her. Eyes open? Fuzzy, but it’ll do. There, the beacon. I must follow it. She’ll be there, waiting. I just have to walk. Can I still walk? Yes, but the ground is soft. Okay, come on. You can do this. In. Out.
One foot forwards. Progress made. Foot two. Three. Four. See, it’s not that hard. One, two, three-ugh. Mud. Okay, slower. Steady. Just stay calm, and keep moving. In. Out. Another step forwards, another foot towards getting out of this rain. Just have to keep moving.
The sky seemed to protest the dragon’s quest, unleashing torrents of water stabbing into her back, the droplets turned into needles by the howling wind. Another fiery bolt crashes between her and her destination, but still she marched onwards, determined to make it to her destination. Suddenly, the light she was heading towards went out. And in it’s place the darkness crept in, the only light coming from the crackling energy rushing above the Snapper’s head, covering her in an unstable bluish glow.
“Melody!” The dragon shouted at the disappearance of the light, suddenly regaining her footing and making a dash towards a cavern in the distance. The storm ripped into the Earth in the distance, bellowing out against the Snapper’s shouts. The light returned, and she pushed harder against the incoming rain. She hardly even noticed when the light flashed brighter, blocking out the world around her. The next thing she knew she slammed into something smooth, something stone. And then, nothing. Exhausted, the dragon collapsed, her ears vaguely picking up something different in the storm. But it was enough for her to understand, she had made it to her destination.
