Happy Sunday y’all! I thought that this week I would give you guys a new snippet. I hope you guys enjoy it!

The wind caused my skirt to blow around as I stood at the top of a cliff. The wind caused several strands of hair to blow out of my braid. The rocks dug into my bare feet, but I paid no attention to them. The sky above my head was covered in dark clouds that stretched across the horizon. They seemed to be moving with the wind, covering what little sunlight made it through. Thunder rumbled. In the distance, lightning lit up the darkness.

Below me, the sea was alive with rage. It sensed the storm within the clouds. The thunder of the waves matched that of the clouds. The water crashed against the rocks. I could feel its rage, its power. I could feel every inch of the sea that stretched on for miles before me. It was my refuge. The only place that made me feel like I belonged.

No one understood the power inside me. The power to control the storms. The sea. It was a power no one has seen since the day my father died. He passed his magic to me. I am now the one who must protect these people. This kingdom.

The weight is almost too much for me to bear. But with the power of the sea at my side, I knew it would not crush me.

I took a few steps back, my eyes staying on the sea before me. The wind changed directions, blowing at my back. My feet carried me forward. I ran as fast as I could, arms pumping at my sides. I leapt off the cliff, the wind wrapping around me as I fell towards the crashing waves below me. My power reached out, calling to the sea that I called home.

I feared not the rage of the sea, the darkness that lurked in below the surface.

I knew the sea would catch me.
