in the glimmering rise of the sun, her great shadow covered the ocean beneath her, and the strokes of her wings carried her ever higher above the clouds. Her black scales seemed to glimmer in the light, and the hues of green and gold on them made her look as if she were adorned in beautiful gems and strings of gold. As she continued to climb, she angled herself farther out over the ocean, to where the sandy beaches where barely visible in the distance.
Sensing she was just high enough, her wings folded in, and she turned and twisted her body, allowing herself to plummet like a great dragon arrow, resisting the urge to spread her wings and stop her quick descent. She fell ever faster, her focus trained and fixed on the water's surface.
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two..one!
Were the thoughts going through her mind, the one being thought with all her might as she collided with the water, and plummeted into the depths of the ocean, and then using her momentum and wings to rise back to the surface. Once she resurfaced, she let loose a chortle that shook the water around her, and changed her form to that of a white hair with green tipped woman, of olive complexion, with what seemed to be scaled clothes (these were her actual scales) covering her discrete regions. she floated on her back for a while, taking int he warmth of the sun and the cool of the ocean, the movement of the waves, and the motions of fish beneath the water.
A loud growl from her stomach let her know, that the fish below were now lunch. Changing back into her dragonic form, seemingly in an instant, she took a breath to fill her air bladder within her chest for going underwater and made the descent. The fish she found at first were all only big enough to feed a human family of at least 5. These were not enough, So she dove deeper, down into the realm of fish the size of sheep and smaller cattle, and ate what she could find.
Her efforts however, attracted the attention of other things that were hungry for a meal. Sharks the size of large carts that ahd ot be pulled by many oxen, soon descended upon her, and decided she was food. Much to their dismay, she outsized them and with some trouble on account of their speed, eventually they too were eaten. It was then that she realized, her air bladder was straining, and that she had almost run out of air. So, with haste she made for the surface. But her air supply had grown thin, and her efforts became strained, her muscles and movements heavy and sluggish, and her vision began to blur. She had gone too deep, and hadnt accounted for the strain her efforts had put on her air supply. But those were the very leastof her problems now, because now a sea serpent the same size as her was chasing her as she struggled to escape the depths. It's Blue scales and underbelly that changed with the light int he water, had allowed it to hide from her, and a high resistance to arcane magic had hid it from her wards.
shite shite shite!!! i dont want to die like this! eaten by a sea serpent! Go away you damned blighter!
She thought to herself, and at the sea serpent. As she did, she unwittingly launched a psionic attack against the creature, which stunned it just long enough for her to escape. Once she reached the surface, she took a large gasping breath and forced herself into the air, and rose above the sea just as the sea serpent rose its head to grab at her. NOW that she was in the air and out of reach, Viha roared in anger at the creature, and with a swoop and a fair amount of rage, released a jet of black, green, and golden fire from her maw and singed the serpentine beast , causing it to screech in agony. As it writhed in pain, Viha swooped down again, and caught the creature's slender body below the head and dug her razor sharp curved teeth into its flesh, and fell into the water, the creature's neck in her maw, writhing to escape. But the more it tried to escape, ever more did it seal its own demise, as her flesh tearing teeth tore into its body and eventually allowed her a fatal bite which killed the creature.
Erupting once again from the water victoriously, Viha let loose a roar that carried into the skies and the the water around her, and she took the creature's dead carcass to the shore, not caring who saw, and began to eat it, her instincts of self preservation and sense of power taking over, spilling the blood of the serpent onto the beach, which now ran red with the creature's vital flow seeping from the corpse as she ate.
