Desperate fight

Ice collected around my paws and coated my fur is a frozen armor. I flicked my tail firing sharp pieces of ice at the bear as I darted around a large tree, the bear stuck them from the air as his other paw took a swipe at me. The tree I was behind exploded into splinters, the sound of the massive oak falling to the ground echoed in the forest.

I glanced back and saw that Kana was still rendered unconscious from out combined auras, the tree was mere feet from hurting her but I didn't have time to be distracted. A paw struck me in my chest setting me skidding across the beach, I covered the ground in ice allowing me to avoid skipping across the ground. I made a half circle path and used the momentum to shoot myself at the bears face, I held out my claws and managed a solid hit on his face.

He let out a deafening roar as blood poured from his now missing eye. I however didn't walk away from that unscathed, his strike fractured my ribs again and the residual lightning on his body fried the ice from my paw and burned the flesh below it. I was forced to run on only three of my four paws but I managed a game changing strike.

The bear stopped at smiled at me, blood running into his mouth painting his teeth red. He spun around a d ran at Kana who was still unconscious on the ground, I quickly chased after him trying to reach her first when he changed his direction and back handed me across the river. My cold aura managed to freeze the water every time I bounced of its surface. A path of frozen stepping stones led from my initial landing to my current platform.

I spat out a tooth and looked over just in time to see the bear dashing across the water using my ice to travel over the water. In response I ran deeper into the water a plan slowly forming in my mind. I made ech platform strong enough for the bear to walk on as I ran into the open water. The river here was almost two miles wide, at last we reached the center and I made my last four platforms just thick enough to hold my weight. I looked back to see a bolt of lightning hit me square in the chest forcing me to fly off again, I could hear him laugh as he threw more and more bolts at me.

The water began to get more turbulent, either because of our fight, the fact that we were so far from shore or if there was something else I wasn't sure. I was too focused on moving to care, I could hear the moment when he stepped on one of my false platforms. But the splashing sound was much louder than I though it should be, looking pack I paled.

A catfish the size of three houses floated at the top of the water, fire streaming down its feelers as it gazed at me and the bear who was still trying to climb onto a platform. One of the feelers swiped at me as the fish decided to try and eat the bear. I froze the water in front of me in an attempt to block the attack and just barely succeeded, I was still thrown back towards where we started.

Looking back towards the water, fire and lightning could be seen exploding everywhere. I managed to get to the shore and I decided to freeze my tail in the water to make a thick sheet of ice that I dragged over to Kana. I rolled her into it and froze her clothes to the makeshift sled before I took off down the river side. It was dark with only the flashes of light from the two monsters behind us to light the way, I was bleeding from my head, two of my paws were scorched and I had several broken bones and burned fur all over my body.

I tried to ignore the pain as I ran for all I was worth, I tripped and fell many times until I could run any further in a last ditch effort I placed the sled back into the water and added more girth to it and let the water keep us moving. I could barely keep my eyes open as we drifted down the water, the sun was just about to rise on the horizon when I was forced into unconsciousness.

I was woken up to the sound of explosion, sitting up I noticed that the forest we were in changed into a full lake and we were in the center. Everytime I heard an explosion the lake would create waves that rocked the ice boat, I froze more water when I realized it was melting.

Looking out and around the lake I couldn't see anything that would have created these vibrations and explosions. So I looked into the water and paled beneath the surface a large octopus like creature with eyes covering items entire head was battling with what I could only discribe as a giant stone man.

The man was glowing with orange veins that reminded me of coals in a forge, the explosions I was hearing was the Titan bringing its fist down onto the octopus like creature. With such power being so close I tried to guide us away but I had not way of moving the boat of ice.

I figured I could create a path to travel but with the water disturbed as it was it wasn't viable. Beside Kana was still unconscious and I couldn't carry her properly on solid ground let alone floating ice.

So I sat in my boat and waited it out, expelling cold aura to keep the boat intact. A whole day passed and the hammering never ended. I found a way to freeze specific things even if they were underwater so I had plenty to eat and the water was fresh so I also had plenty to drink.

By the end of the day Kana woke up and also noticed the fight below. I also noticed about an hour ago, a large corpse of the catfish drifted into the lake. As I watched it I saw a large fish bite it in two, hopefully we can remain unnoticed.

But the third day the rumblings stopped ad a huge current started to pull us along. Looking down I saw the giant slowly moving along the lake bed, everything around him glowed with an eerie red light. The movement of its large body created waves on the surface that dragged us with it.

I noticed on a few occasions as we moved along the lake that there were ruins of old stone cities sitting at the bottom of the lake. A few buildings looked completely untouched and a few even had a bubble around them. But I didn't see any life inside and the beast ignored them, maybe one day we can visit again and explore them.

We drifted along the water and headed towards the shores at a frightful speed, I expected at any moment for the giant to step out of the water and walk into the forest but as we drew closer to the shore the waves died off. Looking down the giant had disappeared completely whe. I wasn't looking how ever the waves generated by his passing continued to propel us forward. We hit the beach with such force that the ice shattered and we were thrown over a few smaller trees to land in bushes at the edge of the woods.

Some fisher men at the lake side saw us and came over to inspect our crash site. Kana was trying to speak but all that came out was a whimper as she tried to hide her torn outfit from the views of the men. That was until her eyes flashed silver and she stood up proudly and slapped the man who's eyes traveled a little to far. "Don't ever look at a lady's body with out her permission" she looked at the other man who stared at his partner with a dumbfounded look on his face "and you where are we and how do we get back to the capital city"

The man stammered "Y-y-your at demon lake, about two days travel, we are south of the capital city, ah ma'am" She nodded before looking at the sun and heading north. I followed along still hurt, but I still managed to knock the other man on his but when I leapt from the bushes. I snorted at him as I walked next to Setsuna. When the men were long out of site she collapsed to the ground. "You didn't have to slap him"

"Have more respect for yourself, he deserved it"

"But still"

"Look you wouldn't have been able to handle that situation, we are lost and needed directions. I know Little white has been here for you lately but he can't ask for directions and I wasn't going wonder around till we find more people"

Kana sighed "Fine... And thank you"

"you don't need to thank me, I would never let such a creepy man look at my beautiful self" Setsuna scoffed before picking herself off and walking north. "Come on Little white, let's go home" I jumped on her back and we headed down the road.
