Burning in her flame

He ached, both physically and emotionally. His lungs burned as he pushed his limbs faster and faster after his beloved sister. She had the agility and the stamina of fire, he had the bursting sudden speed of lightening but easily lost his momentum. Panting harshly he chased her, calling her name over the distance, but his pausing with Locha had lost him ground between him and his sister. But that was all easy to ignore, his burning lungs and aching limbs. It was the agony he felt in his chest that kept his eyes prickling with frustration, that had his burning lungs tight. She was angry, very angry, after he had worked so hard to appease every one of them. This place was safer, it had everything they could need and want, except it didn't have fire. He panted harshly as he lopped after her, groaning. "Sere! Wait!" He called.

As he chased her, the clouds that had been threatening to gather began to blot out the sun. Precipitation made the air grow heavy before the sky burst in rain and he shook his head to keep it from his eyes. Everything ached...he panted heavily as he chased her, croaking her name again and again before the first clap of thunder. He jolted, his paws stumbling as he turned wide eyes towards the sky. Great, fantastic. He whimpered as he continued to chase her, his fear pushing him faster and faster towards her safety. "Serefina!" He yelled over the distance, his voice pitched as lightening struck the sky, chased by the very thunder he felt was chasing him. Yet he kept moving. He didn't stop to find shelter, didn't cease his chase for his beloved sister despite his crippling fear. He would catch her, he would bring her home and try and show her that the beach had what she needed. The beach had him and their siblings. And he needed her there. Yelping as a rather loud clap burst over his head he groaned and shook his head, kicking his paws against the ground as he chased her.
