The lightning brother stared out at the storm as then sleet began. It was cold enough now that the rain pretty well froze. The drops fell hard and heavy into the ocean, beating it to a pulp. The waves were harsh, strong. Anything caught in it would go down, no matter how it fought. It was strange, wasn't it.… He had lost his baby girl when the ocean was soft, gentle. How...how had that happened. Is it never safe? He sighed softly then, listening to his brothers careful words. He knew what his brother was feeling. He could understand it. It was always the same for the both of them. Voltage and Glacier had faced everything together. Absolutely everything. They had always known how to help the other, always known how to get that smile to return to each other's face. But this.…
This was a new breed entirely. It was difficult, it was hard. It was something he had never faced. Death... He understood it now. He got it. There was no way she was still alive. There was no body, no sign. She hadn't returned. Their seconds had run out. He had lost his baby girl. And he had lost something crucial within himself. And there was no finding it. Perhaps the only one who could distract him from these emotions, this deafness...was gone. Gone, and he had no idea where she had gone. Serefina...where was she.
He would sigh again, feeling as if every sad breath let loose another part of his soul. "It's a storm." He said in his dead voice again, knowing it wouldn't help his brothers guilt. Hed look to the ground then, brows pinching before turning fully to his brother. "Glacier...please…smile more. I can't find mine, it's gone...it's washed away. Please don't loose yours." He whined then, feeling tears fill his eyes again...how could he have so much! "I know...I know we always said…it was both of us against the world. It was only us, only you, only me brother...But I'm so tired" he blinked for a few seconds too long, sighing out a whine. "I dont have the strength...no anymore. I'm not strong enough for this. I've never been..." He couldn't do this anymore.
