Last swim of the year

It didn't take long for the giant to get an idea of what had happened and his heart sank to the toes of his paws and closed his eyes for a moment before steeling himself. He must be strong, for Voltage and Current. “I will call Gale and Locha, Gale will search the bank and everywhere the ocean touches land, and Locha will search the waters, she knows them better then we do” he promised his brother, through he was afraid of what they might find. He pushed the thought aside, it didn't matter, if Illume was out there, they would find her. He raised his head and howled for Gale and Locha, his tone utterly, stonily clear that if they didn't appear in the next five minutes they would have hell to pay.

“I'll Take Current back to shore” he said softly, knowing he couldn't ask Voltage to stop searching even long enough to do that. He made his way back to the rocks, when he reached them his movements where slow and gentle as through approach a timid creature he didn't want to scare away. “Current, honey? Come here” he soothed gently, inching closer to the girl. Current whimpered, but otherwise didn't respond. Glacier sighed, swooped over and gently gripped Current by the back of her neck. The girl curled herself around the movement but otherwise offered no resistance. With her in his grasp he slid gently back into the water, feeling Current tremble and whimper as he did so. He was extremely careful to keep Current high above the water as he swam back to shore and placed her down gently on the sand. He curled his body around her then and looked about him to see where Voltage was at and for any sign of Gale and Locha.
