Chapter 328 - She is Missing (2) (2/2)
”The waters here are becoming more turbulent.” Tempest said.
The sea's surface is in fact on chaos. High waves are being formed. Strong gusts of wind are preventing us from getting any nearer. It was like we are in a storm, and we are trying to go in the center of it.
'Tempest, can you handle the strong winds?' I conversed using telepathy because the strong winds are preventing us from hearing each other.
'This is a piece of cake.' Tempest replied with full confidence.
A dim red light emitted out of Tempest's body and formed a force field around us. It helped block the strong winds that was preventing us from getting near the center.
”The surroundings are like when there is a strong storm.” I said whole surveying the area.
”The only difference is, this storm is not moving anywhere.” Tempest said.
”Yes, it is just staying in once place.” I replied. ”As if its protecting anything that is found at the center. There, look.”
I pointed to the location where the light was the brightest. Tempest made haste and flew towards the location.
And like any storm, the center was calm and peaceful. The strong winds and huge waves are spiraling around the center. The light that we saw was glowing under the calm water surface.
”I can feel her presence.” I said with a sigh of relief. ”My wife is under there.”
”I belive she is alright.” Tempest said. ”I can still feel her life force, an effect we had after connecting to one another.”
I remembered Alicia telling me that she connected with my familiar at the lake when we battled the sirens. Because of that they formed a bond, not as strong as her bond with her own familiar but something similar.
”I am going in.” I said while taking my shirt off.
”What?! Are you insane?” Tempest scolded me. ”We still do not know what is in there. Do not do anything that will also put yourself in danger.”
”I cannot think of that right now. All that is running in my head is Alicia is in there and I need to rescue her.” I said with conviction.
”You fool! If you go head on, what will the others do if you are also in danger.” Tempest said. ”Haa! I wish Dimitri was here to knock some sense in to you!”
”If Dimitri was here, I am sure he will try and stop me. But he is not, so I will do what I need to do.” I said while readying myself to dive under water.
”Don't do this!” Tempest tried to stop me but in vain.
I jumped from Tempest's and dived in the water. I felt the cold temperature of the water sting my skin but I paid it no mind and continue diving under. When I looked down, where the light was coming from, I saw a much brighter light zooming toward me. I was startled with the speed and braced myself if ever it was something dangerous.
When the light approached me, I felt myself being swept up. The force was so strong as of someone was pushing me away from my goal. I tried to use my magic but to no avail.
I felt my body being flung up the water surface and high into the air. My body hovered for a split second before it started to come plumeting back down.
”Ahhhhh...” I cannot help but shout with the feeling of falling. I enveloped myself with my fire armor just to be safe. Even thought I am going to fall on water, from this height and velocity it will feel like falling on solid ground.
But then I saw Tempest swooping in to try and catch me. I spread my arms and legs to slow my fall. Thankfully, Tempest was able to catch me in midair.
”That was close.” Tempest said. ”What just happened?”
”I do not know.” I replied in all honesty. I was also shocked with what just happened. It was si fast that my mind is processing the events just now.
”Such a hot blooded person.” A voice from behind me said. ”You cannot just wait in one place until I come to find you.”
I braced myself from an attack of ever the one behind me was an enemy. I slowly turned around to who it was.
