Fenrir

Chapter two

Saving People And Misunderstandings Are A Bitch

But ignoring such a useless observation, I charged to the shoreline, blasting the water behind me and leaving a trail of bubbling water.*

(*A/N - To run on water you'd probably be hitting the water with enough force to boil it. He's also a god, so he's going above and beyond to get to the beach)

I made quick pace and soon arrived on the beach of the island with a bang, leaving a crater with my sudden deceleration. Turning around, I ignored the shocked voices behind me and looked at the wave. Now...how am I gonna deal with you?

Can't use my physical strength - that'd break apart the island from the backlash of me using the ground to support my strength.

But...I can use that, can't I?

POV Change - Diana

Why was this happening?! How has this wave broken through the barrier?! How has the Gods' protection not kicked in and stopped the wave yet?!

I ran through the corridors of the fighting academy, rushing to the entrance so I could try and find my mother. We had all seen it. A wave that reached the sky and seemed to have been summoned by Poseidon himself. It rampaged forth and only seemed to get bigger as it traveled, sucking up the surrounding water to fuel and further it's destructive abilities.

I'm fairly sure this is to do with the shaking that had gone on for hours before it - an earthquake. I'd told them! I'd told them something was abnormal about it!

But they didn't listen, and here we are, having been caught unprepared by this gigantic wave...though I would guess we couldn't stop it even if we were prepared and tried out best to stop it.

I rushed through the streets, looking for my mother, knowing that she'd be on her way to the shoreline to observe the wave. She would never run from danger if it concerned her people. She'd always told me it was the only thing a Queen could do - not be a coward in the face of danger. It was an admirable thing...but it also worried me when she tried to be at the forefront of everything dangerous.

That's what Aunt Antiope is there for. She's the Greatest Hero of the Amazons...so she should be the one to weather the danger and protect the island. Mother should just concentrate on being Queen.

It didn't take long for me to find her and Aunt Antiope as I checked the beach first. I found them surrounded by a phalanx of Amazons as they looked at a...man?

My heart beat sped up in excitement and wonder as I looked at the back of the man.

All he had on was a pelt of wolf fur wrapped around his waist and from how it was still dripping wet - now that I look at it, he's also pretty wet - I could tell that he'd most likely came out of the sea. Is that where the average man lives? Mother and the others won't tell me about Man. They say it isn't a story for a child.

Even if I am over thousands of years old...

But looking at him, I can tell, he isn't average. Which seems bizarre to me because I've never seen another man to base that off of. But part of me could just tell.
