As soon as the Diana saw the message pop up, a bright blue ball of light suddenly appeared in front of her, floating about a foot away from her chest. The light grew brighter and then split into two, one piece entering her right hand and the other entering her left hand. As soon as the lights entered her Sarah could feel power flowing through her veins, not the raw, brutal power that came with strength but instead a power that felt graceful and ever flowing, refreshing her as it coursed through her veins and revitalizing her body.

  It felt like water.

  Diana wasn’t distracted by the power however, she knew that she had to do something with it or Indrid would most likely die. Eternity was a real time virtual reality RPG game so it was likely that if Diana waited too long Indrid would eventually be killed by the creature. This Ultivate. Before Diana could react another message appeared in front of her.

  “Aah!”

  Once Diana closed the message a cry of pain rung out across the grassy area and Diana’s head shot towards the spot where Indrid and the creature had been fighting. Blood was dripping all over the blue grass and mixing into the water soaked mud, Indrid was being continually slashed by the creatures claws and it didn’t look like she would last long. Diana raised her palm towards the blue monster.

  “Water Strike!”

  It was common knowledge that all skills had to be stated out loud, although they could eventually be practiced enough that the user could simply think of the ability and it would be activated.

  As soon as she spoke a ball of water the size of her fist suddenly gathered in front of her palm and shot forward at an incredibly fast pace.

  *Sploosh*

  ‘Oh crap!’

  Diana stared in horror at the ground, she hadn’t realized that the water would come out of her left hand and had only raised her right palm into the air, meaning that her water strike had harmlessly hit the grass on the ground.

  Indrid let out another cry of pain as the scaly blue lizard clawed her shoulders and Diana took a deep breath, pointing her left palm towards the creature, grabbing her left arm with her right hand to steady it.

  “Water Strike!”

  As soon as she had spoken the rain drizzling around her hand was immediately sucked into a ball of clear, see-through water which was again around the size of Diana’s fist. After half a second the ball shot towards the Ultivate, covering the few meters distance in a second and smashed against its side.

  *BAM*

  The Ultivate shot backwards and Diana ran towards the injured Indrid, but as soon as she got closer to the old woman Indrid pushed her back with a bloodied hand.

  “It’s not over yet my dear.” Indrid rasped to Diana and looked in the direction the Ultivate had flown when it had been hit.

  It was slowly walking towards the two females, its eyes blood red and staring directly at Diana. It had a new target now.

  And it looked pissed.
