Lightning Chasers

Storms and... Stormcutters?

"Go, go! Come on we can go faster than this!"
Whirlwind and I had greatly improved since the first time we flew together. We were weaving in and out of the sea stacks near our island. Even though we could now leave, I felt it would be a good idea to stay a bit longer.

We had learned to get along a bit better now that we were flying more often. I started cooking some food for us when Whirlwind perks up and looks to the west. A storm was brewing on the horizon. A lightning storm. Whirlwind growled anxiously. He wanted to go into the storm.

I knew this was a bad idea, for me any ways, but Whirlwind couldn't be stopped. Before I knew it we were in the midst of it all. Lightning struck on every side. Whirlwind roared in excitement. I knew what was going to happen next. He spread his wings to call the lightning, and I realize that I have no armor on. The lightnig hits us and the force knocks me off Whirlwind. It should have killed me, but Whirlwind absorbed most of it. Pain shoots through my body as I hit the rock hard water below. I try to swim up to the surface, but the cold water combined with the effects of the lightning froze my muscles. I sank further and panic siezed me. Whirlwind wasn't coming for me.
Before I black out, I see something come after me. Whirlwind.

I cough up water onto the sand. Man, I really make a habit of waking up on strange beaches, don't I? I look around for Whirlwind, but he is nowhere in sight. I try to stand, but my legs collapse. I see the burns from the lightning on my hands and arms. No wonder I hurt so much. The bushes behind me rustle quietly. I turn around the best I could, expecting to see Whirlwind, but a wiking emerges.
I try to ask who he is but my throat burns with the effort. He stops in front of me. He had messy black hair and bright blue eyes. His skin had tanned, like he spent most of his time in the sun. He had two knives strapped to his back, but the most striking thing was his armor. It was tan and scaly, almost dragon like. If this was a hunter-

"Valac."

"What?" The effort of saying that one word made my throat feel like it was being ripped apart.

"My name is Valac."

"Alvi." I break out in hoarse coughs. He holds out a container filled with cold water. I take it and the water soothes my burns. I could speak a bit easier now.

"Thanks. Now, where is my dragon?"

Valac looks confused at this.
"No, that dragon tried to kill you. You fell after being hit by its lightning. You would have died..."

"Well thanks for the save, but that Skrill is my dragon and his name is Whirlwind." I attempt to get up again only to collapse. I needed to get to him. Valac looked at me for a moment begore disappearing into the bushes. Figures.
I stay on the beach for a while, gathering my strength. I try to get up again when a huge shadow passes over. I freeze. It must be a dragon, but the shadow was bigger than any dragon I had seen. I look up and see the beast. It was massive, with four wings that beat the air. And Valac was riding it.

This day just gets stranger and stranger.
